Home Apothecary Collection: 50 Books in 1

 

Home Apothecary Collection: 50 Books in 1, Lydia Varden, 2024

This is a comprehensive look at the world of herbal medicine and natural healing.

It talks about the science behind natural healing, identifying and harvesting "good" herbs while avoiding "bad" herbs, and the various ways to get herbs into your body (teas, tisanes, infusions and topical solutions).

The book also looks at aromatherapy, baths and soaks and tinctures and extracts. Throughout history, everyone from the Chinese to the Hindus to Native Americans has had their own herbal wisdom. Growing and preserving your herbal garden, along with myths and misconceptions about herbal medicine, are also explored in this book. Then come the recipes.

They cover chronic pain, women's and men's health, pet health, detoxification, hydration, helping the immune system, seasonal allergies hair and skin care, digestive health, chronic conditions, cold and flu. Whatever your ailment, there is probably something in this book to help.

For anyone who wants to get into herbal medicine, before going to the local pharmacy, start here. The reader will learn more than they ever wanted to know about natural healing. Keep this book on your bookshelf or in your kindle.
