About the Author

Gwenyfar (pronounced gwen-eee-far, the opposite of near), has been practicing and studying herbalism for over 13 years. At the age of nine, after many years of excruciating pain in her ears, her poor ear, nose and throat specialist suggested that she try putting warm sweet oil in the ear canal to soothe the pain. Magically it worked. After years of surgeries, prescriptions, squirts and sprays, Gwenyfar was entranced at the idea that something from your kitchen could have such a profound effect where prescription medication had failed. She immediately began reading everything she could get her hands on related to traditional and herbal healing. When she was seventeen she went to live on a commune. There she broadened her experience of traditional healing; much emphasis was placed on wild crafting food and medicine. Wild crafting is the process of harvesting medicinal and edible plants from their habitat in a manner that is not harmful to the ecosystem and does not deplete the species. Later she went to Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She designed her own major through the Interdisciplinary Studies Dept. titled Global Healing Perspectives and started Queen Mab's Herbs, a company focused on ethical and environmental integrity that produced medicinal herbal tea and body care products. She began teaching and speaking on topics related to health and healing, and grants to study comparative medicine. Now she is teaching classes through UNCW and has correspondence packages available.
