Master Recipes from the Herbal Apothecary

As an herbalist and holistic health advocate, I really like this book! It has fantastic recipes on herbal medicine, natural health, wellness, self-care and holistic healing. The layout is extremely clear, so you can find a recipe for your ailment quickly and easily. I'd prefer if there was a bit more depth of info on each recipe, but there is a larger quantity of remedies instead. This book empowers you to care for yourself and loved ones using natural, plant-based remedies. I make a lot of natural health supplement capsules, so I love that there are plenty of recipes here for them, as well as many other forms of natural medicine, including: tinctures, tisanes, flower essence blends, aromatherapy blends, suppositories, fomentations, syrups, massage oils, poultices, lozenges, and more.Master Recipes is great for beginner healers and more advanced herbalists and naturopaths as well. It has an overview of important herbs to have on hand, as well as basic formulation methods. There is something for everyone here, with recipes for treating and preventing a very wide array of health concerns, from the everyday to the chronic. It's informative, easy to understand, and full of useful homemade remedies and anecdotes. JJ Pursell never disappoints with her knowledge, research and writing. This herbal recipe book is fantastic!(I'm disappointed that the book costs $4 less now than it did last month. I should've just waited instead of jumping to purchase it brand new.)

Probably the best book I own to date. It covers a variety of all things natural with step by step instructions. 10/10

I am absolutely thrilled with this recipe book. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is relatively new to the world of herbal remedies. The inclusion of detailed information about the medicinal properties of each herb is a thoughtful touch, empowering readers to understand the benefits behind each ingredient. This book has earned its place on my shelf, and I can't recommend it enough to others seeking a holistic path to wellness!

Love all the recipes in this book

This is a well written book with lots of good information. However, as with so many books of its kind, it only works for you if you have a full apothecary to make any of the tinctures, salves, teas, etc. This book offers NO alternatives to the ingredients in the recipes, (in which some of the ingredients I’ve never heard of), so for me it is basically a useless book.

This book is full of valuable information. Anyone wanting to learn should definitely get one.

Great intro book to herbs and their medicinal/nutritional value.

Love this book
