A Great Book on Herbal RemediesThe author states that she divided this book up into bodily systems, so readers will find remedies for the respiratory system in one chapter and how to heal disorders of the digestive system in another. She, further, states that she prefers to work with the body as a whole rather than just the symptoms, but for ease of use and understanding she has chosen to organize the book in this way.The author states that having an essential home remedy kit to learn about natural remedies, and it is a good idea to build up a toolkit of home medicines that you can try out on yourself, your family, and friends. Thus, she has listed the below basic tool kit basics:1. Garlic2. Lemon Juice3. Aloe Vera4. Cloves5. Ginger6. Honey7. Lavender oil8. Chamomile9. Calendula10. Peppermint11.

A great guide to natural plant remedies for everyday ailments and more.
This was SO GOOD! It was full of so much information! Iâm a big fan of trying things holistically ever since my Hashimotoâs thyroiditis diagnosis after my daughter was born, Iâve looked into more natural remedies. This book has everything! Melissa Corkhill did a wonderful job discussing all the wonderful properties of so many plants. I especially liked how thorough she was in the plant profile of all the plants she suggested. I find myself wishing for a hardcopy because I know I will be referencing this book often, especially with having two growing kids. I would easily recommend this book to family and friends!I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a copy.

Great reference book!
Great reference book! The author talks about using herbs, teas, yoga, homeopathics, essential oils to help with so many issues. I like the idea of doing a body scan – as she describes in the 1st chapter – to determine where the cause of discomfort lies. We truly do know our bodies better than any practitioner! The book is broken down into sections like mental/emotional, skin, heart&blood to name a few. It covers conditions from minor ailments to mumps, measles etc.So much great, practical advice thats easy to do and so much better for us than toxic chemicals. I strongly recommend this book for everyone!

a great reference book on a fascinating topic
How to collect and process the natural ingredients in your surrounding habitat to provide natural remedies that have been used by our ancestors for many generations. Melissa Corkhill shares her knowledge to allow us to safely utilize what Mother Nature provides. Her skills are easy to duplicate and produce excellent results without the drugs so many have used to little avail. We’ve tried many of the recipes with great success and have plans to gather and build what we need from nature.
