The Rebecca Review –
Herbal Healing and Kitchen-Cabinet Cures
Since the beginning of time, people have crushed herbs in a mortar and pestle to extract the healing properties and to mix herbal remedies. Herbs are in fact the best alternatives to over-the-counter medications and they have fewer side effect.I love the fact that regular kitchen herbs and spices can be very beneficial, so I try to add them into the foods I love when appropriate. In this book you will find out which ordinary kitchen spices you can use for health benefits.So, which herbs work better than drugs? Well, I love Echinacea for cold season. They also recommend “astragalus” which is a herb. It boosts your body’s resistance to cold, flu and other viruses. Studies have proven that it has antiviral and antibacterial properties. Unlike Echinacea, you can take astragalus everyday. Echinacea is for seasonal use and this book does have some warnings you will want to read.You will also find out:Which herbs kill viruses that antibiotics don’t! Which wildflower can stop excruciating migraines! (Feverfew tincture/not dried leaves) How to improve your vision. (Bilberries) How to recover from the flu in half the time. (Elderberries) Which kitchen spice you can use for inflammation. (Turmeric) Which herb relieves menopausal symptoms. (Black Cohosh) How to relieve arthritis pain. (Boswellia, Stinging Nettle and Evening Primrose) How to unclog your arteries. How to grow your own medicinal herbs. How to heal your child’s earaches. To lift your spirits. (Try lavender- my favorite) How to naturally deal with diabetes! (Fenugreek)Once you find which herbs you need, you can also look for tea in your health store or buy bottles of the specific herb. You can also find herbs to treat varicose veins, halt macular degeneration, and cure gout with cherries. You will also read why you should not take Tums for calcium. Some interesting information on “chocolate,” and more information than I can list. This book will help you to solve over 100 health problems. This is a perfect gift for a friend who is interested in healthy alternatives. Herbs, essential oils and other natural remedies keep me out of the doctor’s office.~The Rebecca Review

Informative and Underpriced
Highly recommend this book. You can look things up in the index by herb or by medical condition. You have notes on ailments in the front and what to take for what illnesses and why. You have so much information I’m surprised it’s only valued at 10 dollars. If this were on a different nicer printed paper I’d but it too. It is well worth every dime. It’s super underrated. Get it now before the price goes up. You have a ton of information at your fingertips. Please note the purple stickers and flower petals are my notes. It doesn’t come with the book. This is a great book. I’m already using it to treat my shingles.

The Herbal Drugstore book
I had this book and my sister in law always grabbed it to read after she went to bed. I didn’t want to give mine up so I ordered one for her. Hers is already dog earred from the many readings. It is full of information and interesting remedies such as peppermint oil can help keep gallstone blockage from occuring and may dissolve gallstones by taking an enteric coating-coated capsule two times per day between meals (0.2 – 0.4 milliliter). An enteric coating is one that passes through the stomach’s digestive fluids intact to deliver its healing properties lower in the digestive tract. One of many studies. I have not tried any of them yet, but I think it’s a great book to have on hand for non life threatening conditions in a world of too many man made drugs being taken and prescribed, in my opinion. Why not try natural when we can. It is safer and cheaper! I would recommend this book. Nice gift too!

Definitely a Keeper
I am an herbalist, and this is one of my books that I refer to when putting together herbal mixes to help easy conditions and discomfort of my family and friends. Like any other medical book, you have to remember, treating a person with herbs is medicine and if you misdiagnose you can do real damage to the person. I fully believe that herbs can work in conjunction with modern medicine but both you and your doctor need to discuss the risks and benefits. However that being said, this book is a great one for an intermediate herbalist, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone that is just starting out. I have found the book invaluable, and very accurate. I always at least 4 sources before I treat this is on the top of that list. It offers a full list of potential benefits of the herbs and is set up in such a wonderful way making it a quick reference. Well worth the money and passing down for generations.

A friend told me about this book; it has some extremely good advice about health and medicines. I bought it as my husband had a bad reaction to statins, and I was told this book offered alternative advice. It did indeed give some good advice, and furthermore in the last few days I have read that an apple a day works as well as those wretched drugs that the government are trying to get every body to take by giving GPs a ‘bung’ if they prescribe them!Well worth buying – you are far less likely to get a bad reaction to a herbal medicine than to a dose of chemicals in your system.

Arrived quickly and in good packaging. This is a really good book when you feel a visit to the doc isn’t necessary (herbal, self help) it even advises when to see your doctor. I’ve had one for years and wanted one for a friend.

If you are into herbs as an alternative method of healing with no side effects, then this book will be a great help. It is written in a clear and concise way which can be easily understood.
