Libro: Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care: Welcoming the Wisdom of Plants to Support Conscious Living and Dying

Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care: Welcoming the Wisdom of Plants to Support Conscious Living and Dying is a comprehensive guide of commonly used herbs, flower essences, aromatherapy, and homeopathy and contains secrets for supporting heart, soul, spirit and body in the dying journey. Mary Lane skillfully honors the plant kingdom by sharing her deep knowledge of how plant medicine can support the release of unprocessed emotions, experiences, and belief structures to ease and support those at the end of life, as well as all the transitions one goes through during their life's journey.

"As a writer, I must be a student of life. That of course includes death, for they are part of the same entity. Imagine how disconcerting it was to discover the subject is virtually taboo in our western societies. And how joyous to then discover Mary Lane’s field guide to nature’s treasure trove of plants hiding in plain sight willing and able to assist us in the ultimate transition with dignity, grace, and ease. What a blessing."
- David Seidler, Academy Award Writer of The King’s Speech

"Mary Lane has smuggled this once forbidden knowledge across the ages, for which many women lost their lives practicing and protecting, and now unveils and shares this timeless wisdom in her warm and generous voice. Her book is ancient salve, allowing us to step away from the corporatization of death and dying, and gently guides us back into the loving arms of Mother Nature."
- Clara Moore Hendon, Producer, Studio Seven 13

"My deep grief of being witness to many deaths filled with anxiety and fear as a hospice nurse for 12 years was a catalyst for me to search for ways to help people to have a more peaceful transition. Mary’s book is a bridge to getting to the root cause of that fear. I am excited for this resource, not only as a tool to support end-of-life care, but to offer guidance in using plant medicine to bring forward unresolved issues before one gets to their death bed. This is your reference book on how to prepare for a beautiful sacred passage."
- Carol Meckley RN, BSN, LMT

"For those of us who honor nature and seek holistic health care, this easy-to-use guide offers end-of-life support in alignment with our values. In these pages, medicine woman Mary Lane returns nature’s wisdom to the dying process, even as she returns death to its rightful place in the circle of life. As someone who supports the dying and their caregivers, as well as clients of all ages and stages who are dying to an old version of themselves, I am grateful for Mary’s practical suggestions on how to partner with the wisdom of plants to support the multi-layered processes of conscious living, conscious dying and conscious grieving."
