Getting back to the basics, I have spent the last decade focused on natural remedies and healing. This is a great book for anyone interested in the topic, no matter where you are on your journey. 

Add this to your herbal toolbox and you’ll find yourself referencing it more often than you may think you will at he moment.

I absolutely love this book! It is so well thought out and presented. It is thorough and also succinct enough not to lose the reader in information overload. It's a beautiful compendium, rich with important and helpful information about herbal remedies, why they work, where they originated, and why we as a society are discovering that the old ways of naturopathic medicines are still some of the most potent and reliable methods of healing available to us. I will most definitely be using this book to aid in my continued creation of homemade healthcare items, and you should too.

Very informative overview of using herbs & herbal remedies. The author covers many different symptoms/ illnesses, but specifically insomnia.

Descriptive information for over 100 different recommended herbs, their uses, benefits, etc. They also include several recipes for teas.

The author has obviously done their research & is very knowledgeable about herbs & herbal treatments/uses. I appreciated the methodical approach & thoroughly descriptive narrative.

A useful collection of information regarding remedies for ailments using items that are easily obtained at home or the grocery store without a doctor's prescription.
I enjoy these herbal remedies, and finding new material on the topic with up to date information is always helpful. I find the information on tinctures especially helpful. However, I do not want kids to treat themselves based on one book on herbal remedies. Because of this I will not be adding it to the middle school library.

Herbal Healing Remedies is a must have for any naturalists book shelf! Even though it focuses primarily on insomnia it is also filled with information on other common ailments and remedies. It starts with anatomy and the different components of herbs and then transitions to precautions and also how to safely use herbs.

I really enjoyed all the information included about insomnia! I had no idea there were so many causes but also enjoyed all the tips included to beat it. The breakdowns on each herb and all the teas and tonics will be super helpful!

I give this book a 5 star rating. Thanks to Netgalley and the author for an advanced copy.

Benefits of Herbs

Rosemary Shaw provides indepth background information on medicinal herbs and their use in various cultures. She discusses some of the many classifications in which herbs can be uses, such as tinctures, compressions, ointments, infusions, volatile oils (also known as essential oils), and many other methods of use.

The author states that even if we are not using herbal remedies to treat a specific disease, it is still beneficial to take some to prevent general illness, because regular use of herbal medicine has several benefits, including the following:
1. Increased antioxidant level
2. Herbs have antibacterial properties
3. Herbs are great for chronic conditions
4. Good for weight loss - Herbal teas are also great for reducing calories and cholesterol in your blood. They bind the cholesterol, making it easier to excrete through the liver and, keep your heart happy in a roundabout way.

This is a great book on herbal healing remedies. The author discusses many health issues and herbal remedies that are known to produce significant benefits as an alternative to modern medicine. I feel book is a source for exploring the many healthy and Ayurvedic way of treating a lot of health issues.

I enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to anyone suffering from any of the many health issues identified herein this book.
