Forgotten Home Apothecary : 250 Powerful Remedies at Your Fingertips

Bought this for my husband as a present and he was really pleased, it contains loads of herbal remedies with really easy to follow instructions on how to make. A very interesting and informative book.

What a book 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to read pictures are great love the bottle's on the shelves with discription of what potions are inside.feels old school...

This is a very useful book and a very good read. I do recommend it just be aware that you will find it hard sourcing some of the ingredients as they are not every day supermarket stuff.

Perfect as described thank you Great quality pages

Absolutely love this book it is a total back to basics using lots of organic and natural ingredients that work well together. I think the only thing I would say is some recipes do take a little planning and forward thinking some recipes will take 4-6 weeks to steep and other ingredients will need to be ordered in there not very readily available from the supermarket so I have to order to get them, but so far I’ve enjoyed making lots of of the recipes including antiseptic balms, cough syrups, teas etc.

Great book.

Just received and it arrived earlier than expected. I couldn't wait to browse and it is choc full of mainly easy to make potions. Each recipe is laid out clearly with pictures, a clear set of ingredients and instructions on how to make and dosage needed. There is an index in the front that is divided by category of ailment such as 'Respiratory System' and under each category is the various remedies. They are displayed as though you are looking at bottles on a shelf which in itself is fine but one little gripe is that it would have been nice to have all the cough syrups together etc. but not really that much of an issue. Then you get tips and info on 'how to' do various procedures and what you need such as equipment to help you prepare. Then you are into the recipes grouped by the index categories. there is a little more useful info in the back. Very happy with this book and mine is marked as the European edition which gives grams etc in recipes so very nice and eager to start making.

Nice book… Well worth the money. Enjoying it and very informative! Packed with countless information at a good price.

I absolutely love this book!!!! I've had this book in my cart for 2 years watching reviews & talking to other people about the book. Within those 2 years I got more into medicinal plants and really wanted something in paper form. My brother in law purchased this as a birthday gift for me. The book came in shrink wrapped which was great my hands were the first to touch the book and flip the pages. The cover has a glossy finish, and the pages are slightly thinner than standard printer paper. I love the layout and how the book has colored visuals throughout the entire book. I love how it gives you details on the different techniques, supplies, and ways to use the medicinal plants. The remedies are seperated by alignment/ benefits. Its easy to follow each remedy even gives you recommend doses. For lower star reviews saying they are missing pages or remedies... no nothing is missing. They just don't know how to read a table of contents. It isn't the number of remedies but the number on the page the remedy is. Part one are suggestions on how to set up your herbal apothecary. It goes into detail where to source herbs and ingredients and how to ensure the seller is selling you authentic herbs and ingredients, choosing equipment and supplies, and different ways to store and perserve. Part two goes into great detail on different herbal preparation and uses. There are so many ways to prepare certain herbs to extract the medicinal properties and honestly this section educated me on differences and purposes. Part 3 are all the remedies and recipes that are categorized under each alignment. Lastly part 4 is the safety guidelines and precautions. So honestly this book should have never received a low review for user error & incompetence. That being said, I love this book so much I started looking into other books from the author relating to medicinal and edible plants. My husband bought me another one of the authors books for my birthday and now I have 2 more waiting in my cart. I am so excited to add her books to my book shelf & read every page. She has became one of my favorite authors for medicinal and edible plants. I would love for the author to write another book like this on medicinal & edible plants that are today's standard "weeds." This book does include some like dandelion & cleavers but there are some medicinal & edible plants like horseherb, hoary bowlesia, & Clasping venus' Looking glass that are not in any books but are today's standard "weed." Now this is all said before purchasing/reading her other books.

Great read. Use it all the time
