Restore Your Appetite

Janet M. Bryan

Illness has a way of taking the pleasure out of eating long after the fever breaks. This is a return to an old, patient practice: how bitter herbs wake up a sluggish digestion, the simple tonics people relied on before appetite loss became something to endlessly worry over, and how to build them at home with roots, peels, and time. Gentle, grounded guidance for coaxing hunger back one small sip at a time.
