5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a book you will want to own and refer back to often!
“Plants also form the base of the oldest system of healing known on Earth, and one that's universally shared by every culture, ethnicity, and nationality. No matter who you are, you can be sure that your ancestors cultivated a rich tradition of herbalism.”
Am I the only one that wishes my family had generational knowledge in herbal medicine to pass down? I’ve been educating myself for the past few years, and I plan to pass this knowledge down to my child, along with a request for him to do the same.
💊 This book is an amazing reference guide. It kicks off with a list of what you’ll want to keep on hand in your medicine cabinet, which I always love a good list and starting point.
🧼 It offers very clear recipes for things like soap, tea, syrup and medicinal candy balls in addition to remedies for sore throat, congestion, constipation, rashes, colic and more. Definitely stuff I’ll be trying for myself in addition for my little one!
☝🏼 It also includes helpful things like a dosage guide, tips on getting the most out of the remedies, how to instructions, and some really great resources at the end.
🌱 For example, I learned that Stevia (my go-to sweetener) is highly processed in stores, and that I’d be way better served to grow it myself.
🌎 Overall, the vibe of the book displays a humble gratefulness for the healing plants that Mother Earth provides us. The author’s passion and care really shines through. She does an amazing job of inviting children to be a part of the process so that they are just as invested as the parent. It’s simply beautiful and somewhat magical (lunar infused tea 💕).
Thank you to NetGalley, Storey Publishing, and Rosemary Gladstar for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
