I received a complimentary print copy of this pre-published book from Callisto Publisher’s Club and the author. My review is completely unbiased and voluntary.

I was extremely interested in reading this book as I am a certified holistic health coach with an interest in natural remedies. I also am invested in the use of essential oils and herbs as a preventative measure to ward off illness.

The author presents the information in a user friendly format providing an explanation about herbalism and what essentials are needed to have on hand. She includes tools as well as basic herbs and ingredients you may already have in your pantry.

The important information relates to the description and uses for the herbs she recommends in her recipes. It’s critical to note that just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it is without safety precautions. Some herbs or extracts can be dangerous or poisonous if not used properly. The author details the manner in which to prepare and use each of the herbs safely.

There’s a glossary with resources and references at the end which is always helpful for those new to herbal treatments. A point to note is that the author also acknowledges how necessary it is to consult with your doctor before adding any remedies to your regimen if you are currently under the care of a medical provider. Also, I must comment that the liberal use of relating recipes to medical diagnoses are discouraged and prohibited by the FDA so these recipes should in no way be construed as a “treatment” for such ailments.
