Amazon.com Review
Endorsed by Rosemary Gladstar, renowned herbalist and author of Herbal Healing for Women, this book of "homespun alchemy" bursts with easy recipes for medicinal wines, herbal oils, salves, tonics, syrups, throat drops--you name it. From the guidelines for gathering medicinal plants to instructions for tincture preparation, Joyce Wardwell conveys her love and respect for herbs. She comes from a long line of herbalists: her great-great-grandmother Jane learned the herbal craft from the Ojibway in Minnesota; Jane's mother was condemned for witchcraft and her husband was hung for it during the Salem, Massachusetts, Witch Trials. But there's nothing to fear from the Remedy Book: recipes are made primarily from the 25 most common herbs, and instructions are so clear they're nearly foolproof. The flu, insomnia, colic, menopause, and sore muscles are all covered. Any household with children will find the "herbal home medicine chest" invaluable, with treatments for everyday ailments such as colds and coughs, burns, bug bites, bruises, and strains. The publisher, Storey Publications, is known for its practicality and environmental awareness, and the book is printed on lovely cream-colored recycled paper.
Product Description

 The Herbal Home Remedy: Trusting the Earth August 25, 2008
I searched Amazon.com for a book on herbs for my best friend's birthday. She is interested in using herbal products concocted by people she knows. I have at least five books on herbs including The Herb Book by John Lust. I knew she didn't want an encyclopedia and so I went looking for one that had "recipes" in it for everyday use. I checked out several, then spotted The Herbal Home Remedy Book. The author explains how she got into herbal remedies through her own family's interest and details ways to use herbs. She also cautions against using wildcrafted herbs for use in selling. I bought a copy of the book for my friend and one for me; we are planning to get together to make up some recipes. A very good book for someone who wants to do something practical and isn't looking to get a degree in herbology though this book could strike a passion for it.
herbal home remedy April 26, 2008
pretty good descriptions. Would have been nice to see more pictures to go along w/the descriptions. Not a bad book & would recommend it to anyone who is interested in making herbal remedies from scratch.
 Such a wonderful book October 19, 2007
This book is so wonderful. Its warm informative and inviting. It makes you want to jump in right away. The directions are clear and simple enough not to intimadate. It is a very good thing that the author suggests only non toxic plants as a start. She is an insightful and wise teacher. I am looking forward to making the medicinal wines. The stories are also a nice touch. I will be purchasing her other books.
A Very good book August 23, 2007

This is a very good, but basic herbal. It is great for someone starting out, and if this isn't in depth enough for you, or after this book, i would certainly recommedThe Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook: A Home Manual James Green's The Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook.
