The Handmade Apothecary: Healing herbal recipes (Herbal Remedies)

Great quality hardback and inner pages. Plenty of ideas and pictures. Good purchase

Easy to follow recipes for making cleaning and beauty products. A good read if you are wondering what to make with aromatherapy oils and learn about the uses and practical methods of herbs oils.good layout.a very practical book.

I've loved this book, and have made several of the remedies from it. It's an attractive book, has nice images and is attractive enough to stay sitting on my coffee table. It runs through various remedies for different ailments, and how to make them, and also has individual pages on the various plants, including photos, their uses etc. It also talks you through the basics of how to make various items including balms, salves, tinctures etc., which was the part I was particularly interested in. If you are very new to plant identification, you are likely to need additional ID guides - this book has pages on numerous different medical plants, and has a nice photo and description, but isn't a small book (so not easy for you to take out with you when looking for plants) and also isn't meant to be a thorough ID guide - it's more to help you understand which plants are helpful for what.

I love how the book is laid out. The start is filled with useful and helpful information about how to make tinctures and salves etc. It then moves on to details about many bodily conditions (i.e cardiovascular/neurological) - but I was expecting a lot more herbal recipes rather than only one or two per condition, I would recommend a second book to work in unison with this one. The end of the book brings it back with detailed herb info and one or two more recipes. It’s a beautifully illustrated book, and the info provided is brilliant!

Difficult to put down, so much information. Clear, concise and useful. Love it!

Really loverly book, I havnt finished it yet but have read through the start and skipped to a few recipes to check them out! The book is very well laid out and easy to read and understand! I am a complete beginner and feel this book will teach me a lot. I love that with each recipe or herb they give you a few different ways to process things such as teaching how to dry your herbs or how to preserve them with alcohol and how long they will keep etc. I agree with the other reviews that you will need another plant identification book just to be 100% sure of what you are foraging. there is a great section on body systems such as nervous system and cardiac system etc and for each system it give a few common issues people may have and suggests a few different herbs which may help Overall, fantastic book and can't wait to try a few of the more simple recipes 😀

Highly recommend to buy this book especially if you’re wanting to do more natural things yourself rather than buy shop bought products

This is a very informative book with lots of recipes throughout. There is also links on where to buy certain products. I definitely recommend this, it's a fantastic book!
