The Green Fuse is a tribute to plants, describing their powers and their connections to humanity, the earth and the cosmos. Left unconvinced of the enduring success of her cancer treatment by conventional medicine, the gift of a little book along with an opportunity of ‘six months off to find her happiness’ had unexpected consequences. While doing the 40-day herbal cancer cure the author experienced feelings of supreme wellbeing. She decided to investigate why this should be. 

The book outlines extensive research from many disciplines, both worldwide and across the ages. Hilary's findings chart the drastic loss of the use of plants in western medicine. This has been accompanied by the erosion of our deep-rooted harmony with the world-wide web of nature through the loss of valuable traditional knowledge. These have been replaced by our modern system of treating symptoms. Alongside her research she developed a beautiful garden to grow plants based on her findings and from these plants she created and marketed high quality products with exceptional healing properties. 

This is Hilary's story about seeking a felt understanding of the nature of human healing. It shows that regaining the connections we have lost can enhance our health in body and mind and enrich our creativity and spirituality.
