The Herbal Medicine & Natural Remedies Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide on How to Naturally Improve Your Health with Powerful Healing Herbs and 300+ Simple and Effective Plant Remedies

This encyclopedia offers information about natural medicine using both well known plants, such as alfalfa, and some not so well known plants, like mullein. In each of the plant and herb descriptions listed is their form of illness known to cure or help improve. It was an interesting take on other solutions for things such as migraines and joint flare ups that I would normally just use over the counter medicine to cure."The Story of Herbs" chapter I found to be especially helpful in that I am an avid tea-drinker but never paid much attention to purpose of the herbs within my drink. I am determined now to make a lemon-mint combination to help in clearing the unavoidable stuffy nose in the upcoming winter months. One of the key parts of this reading is also about how to prepare your herbs before use. Although I had always been aware that tea is a quick and easy way to enjoy herbs, I am now more aware of other uses too - dried herb powder, infusions (*I CANNOT WAIT TO TRY MY OWN!), jams and jellies, and dill pickles (I'll leave that for my mom to do when canning). For so many of the items I buy in my grocery store, I feel confident and curious to try making some of these on my own.This book is a great resource if you have a sudden spark to reconsider using the drug store and want to try something from your own garden. I do wish that pictures accompanied some of the descriptions but found the medicinal purpose listed to be more important anyways.

I have viewed other encyclopedias, but this has valuable information on history, preparations, and medicinal purposes. I wish there were more pictures or drawings to help identify these herbs. There are so many sub-categories of herbs, and it would be nice to have them all in one spot.I love the recipes and instructions for ailments and injuries. I grew up in a culture that uses herbal remedies for many things. Unfortunately, you can’t always trust where everyone is getting their sources from. There are many stories from relatives and friends who suffered illnesses, sometimes even death, from ingesting “life-saving herbs.” I always prefer to do my research thoroughly before consuming an unfamiliar homemade tea. This guide offers a lot of beneficial materials to help build your knowledge of herbs and their uses.

This was an enjoyable and informative read. It's filled with information about native herbs, their uses, and includes recipes for commonly used herbal medicines that I found particularly helpful and will definitely continue to use as a quick reference for herbal remedies.One interesting aspect of the book is its detailed exploration of Native Americans' historical use of native herbs in the Americas.It's a valuable book for understanding useful herbs and maintaining a practical reference for trying them out. Also, I'm pretty sure you'll be blown away, like I was, by knowing how useful some of these seemingly mundane herbs around you can be.

This is a great book for anyone looking to learn more about herbs & natural medicine! There are about 12 different books or chapters in this book overall, but each book & chapter will cover something interesting about herbal medicine, whether it is the history of herbal medicine, how to identify certain plants for the medicine, and even how to make certain herbal medicines as well! I learned a lot about herbal medicine after reading this book, and I am also looking forward to trying some of these herbal medicines out in the near future when a situation arises when I need to use them! I would recommend this book to anyone looking to use herbs or natural medicine to help them with improving their health overall!

I’m new to this world but it didn’t give exact what I was looking for but very informative.
