About the Author
Nicole Apelian, PhD, is a biologist, herbalist, ethnobotanist, and bestselling author whose work has reached millions through books including The Holistic Guide to Wellness and The Forgotten Home Apothecary, and her appearances on the History Channel’s Alone. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, she began exploring how conventional medicine, medicinal plants, and everyday habits could work together to support her health. Her work reflects a lifelong connection to plants and nature and a belief that understanding our health gives us more choices in how we care for it.
