Description
‘At a time when disconnection from wildlife threatens our mental health this book offers the perfect adaptor to plug our brains back into natures’ therapeutic socket. Page by page it reconnects us to the real, wild world we live in. A must-read for any modern-day Homo sapiens.’ – Chris Packham
In The Wild Remedy, Emma Mitchell’s deeply personal account of her interactions with nature and its healing properties, she recorded, month by month, a year of her nature finds and wildlife discoveries and the science behind how nature affects our neurochemistry to provide relief from anxiety and depression. Now, in this stunning journal, she invites you to accompany her on that road, to experience nature for yourself, record your own interactions and find healing in the natural world.
Full of Emma’s exquisite artworks and photographs, this journal contains many of her own observations and reflections, along with prompts and ideas that will help to unlock your own experience of nature. It shows how reconnecting with the natural world around us can be a powerful tool – as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical.
This unique nature journal includes activities, drawing prompts, contemplative quotes and lots of space for you to write about your inner thoughts, feelings and experiences.

The Wild Remedy Journal is thoughtfully structured to nurture mental well-being throughout the seasons. With its four distinct sections for each season, starting with Spring, it offers a unique journey into nature's healing power. It's a treasure trove of inspiration, filled with prompts that invite you to explore your thoughts and feelings in connection with the changing world. The activities included are not just creative and engaging but also serve as gentle encouragement to embrace the great outdoors. There is ample space for your own drawings, enabling you to express your feelings and finding through art. Alongside these, you'll find quotes that resonate with the rhythms of nature. The illustrations throughout the Journal are beautiful.
I'm optimistic that this lovingly crafted book along with its activity ideas and journaling prompts will prove to be a valuable tool for improving my mental health. I feel that a physical copy of this book would be best (rather than an e-book) so that you can use the journal as intended, or have a spare journal ready to transfer ideas over.

Having suffered from mental health, this book is such a beautiful thing to read and I will be purchasing the book. I have always found being outside so beneficial, and this book gives you the tools to appreciate nature and life, by making you stop, breath, look and listen. We all need a book like this in our lives, you don't need to go far to find something beautiful and this book can show you what to look for. Taking you through the seasons, you will be able to appreciate every part of the year around you.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

The Wild Remedy Journal is a beautiful book focused on ways to help you with your mental health throughout the seasons.
I’ve been a follower of Emma Mitchell since 2020, with her beautiful books Making Winter and The Wild Remedy, and this book is a perfect companion to her work.
It’s a journey through the seasons full of gentle tasks, information, guidance and the stunning artwork that she creates.
This would make a lovely gift for anyone creative in your life. I received the EBook as an ARC but I am sure the physical copy will be stunning.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book, all opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this journal. It's the perfect mix of scientific information, personal stories and journal prompts. I will definitely try those prompts and I really appreciate that they are according to season. I just wish the journal would have been longer because I enjoyed it so much.
