Her background as a biologist, survivalist, and herbalist adds a level of credibility that is often missing from other books on natural healing. She not only explains how to use these remedies but also why they work, providing fascinating insights into the science behind herbal medicine.One of my favorite aspects of this book is that it’s incredibly practical.

This is the coolest book!! So many home remedies and many of the ingredients are things most have on hand. Clear directions on how to make. Easy to read. Plenty of pictures. We even bought one for a gift. If you are looking to make your own holistic home pharmacy the natural way with the things God gave us, you will LOVE this book.

Great book! I have about a dozen Home Apothecary/Herbal Medicine books. This one far exceeds in the layout. Broken up by chapters and then specific ailments on each page. It's easy to read and create. It goes over equipment needed (nothing fancy), storage and preservation, basic preparations, defines teas, decoctions, brews, infusions, tinctures, oil infusions, oxymels, syrups, elixirs, creams, balms, salves, lotion, soaks, poultices, compresses and Hydrosols.I highly recommend this book for beginners.

I was excited to finally be able to buy this book. It’s been in my list for a long time. It’s chocked full of wonderful photos and easy to read instructions and descriptions, however, very disappointing on the quality of the paper printed. For the price this should be a better book. The paper is so thin that the “ghosting” from the other side makes it a little difficult to read. Too bad . Especially as a book like this is something you want to keep forever. I understand publishing is very expensive and it’s hard to make a profit on you publish your own book but this just definitely would have been so much more of a treasure, if a little bit had been spent on better printing paper.

Good investment very informative easy to understand

The first time it wasn’t delivered, but the seller was gracious and mailed me a copy.I just wanted to say thank you.Great book full of amazing remedies.

The book is informational, helpful and wonderful. With a world filled with mass produced medicines that have toxic things in them, having this book gives me a sense of security. Knowing I can also fall onto this book for an organic alternative way of medicine. For me and my 4 year old daughter.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BOOK!! Purchased this book along with "The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods" One of the best purchases for anyone who would like to learn about how to heal yourself/family from natural sources. Wonderful photos, recipes/notes, instructions on how to make and dosage! I will be ordering all her books.
