Draw upon ancient knowledge. While health care debates rage all around us, one way to take good care of yourself and your loved ones is with the “kitchen cabinet cures” in this book. When our great grandmothers needed to attend to the cuts, bruises, colds, flu’s fevers and other illnesses their family suffered, they didn't have a corner drugstore. Instead, these wise women relied on simple wisdom, common sense, and pantries well stocked with herbal remedies. These preparations were made from plants that grew in the kitchen garden or wild weeds gathered outside. The Herbal Healing Handbook combines the wisdom of our elders with a modern kitchen herbalist’s sensibility.
In The Herbal Healing Handbook you will:
- Learn about natural remedies you can DIY
- Treat inflammation and pain
- Build energy
- Improve your attitude and mindset
- Gain key knowledge about plants, roots, essential oils and aromatherapy
If you enjoyed natural medicinal books like The Healing Power of Essential Oils, Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, or The Green Witch, you’ll love The Herbal Healing Handbook.
