I don't know how I lived without this book. It's become a staple in my household, and I've given two copies to friends as well. If you only own one natural remedies/holistic wellness book, it should be this one!

This book is what cemented natural/herbal medicine in my mind as a preferable alternative to modern medicine. It wiped any remaining doubt I had about whether these "vintage remedies" were legit or simply old wives tales. With so much misinformation out there, it confirmed what I suspected to be true and left me in peace about the choices I was making for my family.

This book has changed our lives. Strong words, I know, but very true. I loved it so much, I ordered another copy to give to my father for Christmas, along with the Real Foods book. As a homeschooling mom of 6 young kids, I literally refer to this book every day!

I like the layout of this book-with a list of ailments AND a list of common herbs it's easy to find what I'm looking for. The only thing I've noticed so far is that several of the "ailments" my family experiences aren't addressed. However, with roughly 100 ailments listed, I think it's just our unusual circumstances. There's also a section called the Natural Family Toolkit with ideas on what to keep on hand for what type of circumstances and cleaning with herbs.

I'm using it with Vintage Remedies' The Herbalism Course and the two work well together.

I love this book because it is so easy to read and broken down into little bits of info for each subject. I can throw it in my bag and pull it out anytime without having to commit to a whole book/chapter/page/etc. I like to bring it grocery shopping with me too to use as a quick reference!

Very easy to understand reference book. So many herb/natural healing books use terms that are difficult if you do not know the lingo, or herbs and ingredients that are hard to find- this is not one of those books. Introduces new concepts in a thorough, but easy to understand manner. Thanks for another great resource!
