Dr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a mother, a survival skills instructor, and a biologist. She graduated with a degree in Biology from McGill University in Canada and has her Master’s degree in Ecology from the University of Oregon. She earned her Doctorate through Prescott College while working as an anthropologist and ethnobotanist in Botswana.
Nicole gained key survival and foraging skills during the years she's spent living with one of the oldest cultures on Earth, the San Bushmen. The hunter-gatherer San live completely off the land. Their name literally means” picking up from the ground”, or what we call foraging.
Food gathering and harvesting medicines is a way of life she adopted for her personal wellness after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She found that for her, nature’s medicine was more effective than the standard treatment she was prescribed. She went from being pushed around in a wheelchair to taking back full control over her life and being able to properly care for her children.
And in 2015 she was among the first women to be selected for the History Channel’s TV show Alone. There she survived in the wild for 57 days, complete alone, mostly by foraging wild plants for both food and medicine.
Nicole believes that there are many more people who need to take advantage of the healthy, free wild food growing in their area.
This became her life’s mission and the main reason for writing this book. In it she poured over 20 years of plant knowledge and her first-hand experiences in both making natural remedies and finding foods in the wild.
Inside, you’ll discover over 400 plants that never made it to most people’s lives, kitchens or medicine cabinets.
The most important thing that I would like to show you, and that many books lack, is how to correctly identify these plants.
I went through great lengths to print this book in color with HUGE pictures for each plant, to make it easy to identify.
I also added extra photos of the defining features of the plant, so you will know exactly what to look for to make the correct identification, for the plants growing in your area.
Because I want you to be 110% safe and sure you got the right plant, I added a Poisonous-Lookalike section for each plant explaining the differences you should look for.
Each plant that has medicinal properties also has a section on how to use it as a remedy.
You will also find instructions on how to prepare the wild foods for several purposes, how and when to harvest, depending on the season, and a few delicious time-tested recipes to prepare these wild foods like a seasoned forager.
You’ll also discover how to recognize Reishi, the mushroom that got me out of the wheelchair.
Every day since that day… 20 years ago, I’m taking - along with other remedies – a tincture I make from this mushroom. Alongside my remedies, it helps a lot with my MS, and I gladly recommend it as a medicinal mushroom for autoimmune conditions and other chronic issues.
As the saying goes, sometimes the best things in life are free, and this berry is the perfect example of that. While still illegal to grow in many parts of the world, there is no law that prevents you from foraging it in the wild. If you find a single gooseberry bush, you can gather over 5 kilos of gooseberries, and you can return year after year to take advantage of it.
One of the many interesting things you’ll discover inside The Forager’s Guide to Wild Foods is what happens when you smoke mullein. I know it’s hard to believe, but in earlier days, people with tuberculosis would roll it up in a makeshift herbal cigarette, and inhale deeply to get rid of the never-ending cough. Mullein is wonderful for any kind of lung cleansing. The leaves burn slowly and have a relaxing, calming smoke that soothes your lungs, dislodges mucus, and opens up the air passageways.
You'll also find out how to turn a pesky weed into a pain-fighting ally. I’m sure you’ve already seen some stinging nettles around your area. The hairs of this invasive plant are usually painful to the touch. But what’s very interesting is that when you rub them on a painful area of the body, they can decrease the original pain. Just try it next time you get some joint or muscle pain, and you’ll see what I mean.
Another plant you’ll discover is what herbalists refer to as “Nature’s Prozac”. This instant anxiety relieving plant could be growing near your house, no matter where you live. Steeping no more than 1g of clean fresh leaves in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 min can also help you fall asleep faster. Please do not drink this tea if you plan on driving in the next 6 hours.
Take a stalk or a leaf and tear it in two.
The plant will secrete a milky, white substance that resembles the one found in the opium poppy. This substance, known as lactucarium, has much milder painkilling effects, but it’s completely legal to forage, grow and eat.
You can add it to your salads, or you can collect it in a jar for making a painkilling elixir to have around whenever you experience a lingering pain that just won't go away.
You can add this plant to your morning coffee. Peppermint has antispasmodic properties, which relax the muscles inside your digestive tract, making stools looser and helping them move along the way. It's also one of the best herbs for reducing IBS symptoms and pain, and it was even recommended by the College of Gastroenterology in 2021.
You’ll also discover a plant called White Goosefoot (also called Lamb’s Quarters).
This Great Depression weed saved large communities from starvation and malnutrition. Growing all over Europe, this superweed is also called “wild spinach” and it contains substantially more nutrients than cultivated spinach and kale.
Well, if hard times will ever come again, wouldn't you prefer to have this information on hand so you can identify this plant and other superweeds growing in your area?
And even all of that is just the tip of the iceberg of what you’ll find inside The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods. Here are some other things you’ll discover inside this massive 296-page edible plants guide:
And so much more!

The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods gives you access to an endless, free, healthy supply of food that can also be your lifeline in a crisis.

This knowledge is better at your fingertips now, as you might not be able to get it during crisis or blackouts.

A “food insurance policy” for hard times:
I think every person should have this book in their home, next to their emergency foods or in their Bug out Bags. Even people who are NOT planning on using this book on a regular basis should have it on their bookshelf to help them put food on the table in case hard times are coming ahead. This knowledge is better at your fingertips now, as you might not be able to get when you'll need it most.
The best resource to have around in the outdoors:
Haven’t you ever bumped into a mushroom, berry or plant and wondered if it’s edible or not? … and what to do with it? Maybe there are times when you're still not sure about a certain plant, and you need to consult the book, despite your vast experience. Or maybe you don’t have experience at all and just want to find wild goodies using the book.
Take advantage of the medicinal plants growing around your home:
Inside The Forager’s Guide to Wild Foods, you’ll find lots of medicinal plants including the ones I use regularly and instructions on how to take advantage of them. So how would you feel to make your own medicine from plants growing around you instead of relying only on chemical compounds found in pills?
The healthiest foods you can eat:
There’s absolutely nothing you can buy in supermarkets that comes close to the plants you pick yourself from the wild. They have no GMOs, no pesticides and they are good for your health. Even products sold in stores as ORGANIC are allowed to be genetically modified, so long as there are no kind of man-made pesticides or chemical fertilizers involved in the growing process.
Wild foods are extremely nutritious:
Most plants and fruits that you can buy in supermarkets and groceries are depleted of important nutrients. The supermarket plants grow bigger and faster than their wild ancestors, but they cannot sustain the concentration of important nutrients and vitamins the wild foods have. Wild plants are extremely nutritious and full of antioxidants and vitamins that help our bodies in the long run.
Save some of the money you pay on food:
Comparing to the overpriced organic foods, the wild foods are completely FREE and up for grabs. Over the years I think I saved maybe thousands of euros that I would have normally spent on supermarket foods. There is no good reason why you shouldn’t replace a part of the foods you purchase with foods that are better for you and are FREE.
Start a new wonderful chapter in your life:
It’s never too early nor too late to start learning a new useful skill.
The plant knowledge is no longer taught as it has been for thousands of generations before us. If we don’t do something about it, this knowledge will be lost forever and one day we might pay the ultimate price for this.
When you were growing up, it was probably your parents or grandparents that helped you identify your very first berry.
This is something only YOU can pass down to your kids and grand-kids as they don’t learn these skills from TV, gadgets or schools.
A stress-free escape:
There are very few things in life more gratifying and fulfilling than walking without care in nature. Your mind is far from the daily stress, looking for the next plant you will pick. Foraging is both practical and relaxing, and it surely benefits both your mind and body providing a much needed, but profitable, escape. Walking in nature also helps people who want to lose weight pleasantly, without feeling the effort.
