Rosemary Gladstar’s Natural Recipes for Vibrant Well being: 175 Teas, Tonics, Oils, Salves, Tinctures, and Different Pure Treatments for the Whole Household

Really the best herbal recipe book for all kinds of ailments! highly recommended.
I bought this book in hopes to learn some hearbal healing. I’ve been interested in herbal naturopathic medicine for quite some time, in an effort to find remedies to the many ailments my family and friends suffer from. In my family we’ve always gone yo the traditional western doctors, but in the past few years they have been failing us. In reality they have failed us for much longer I just didn’t do anything about it. I finally got fed up ad decided I wanted to attend college and become a certified herbologist and midwife. So while I am doing my studies in those areas I decided to buy many different herbal healing books.This book was one of them.I give this book 5 stars because it is superbly written and well thought out. Each recipe is very detailed and useful. Many of the ailments mentioned and treated with natural medicine are ones my family and I suffer from, a few examples would be infertility, irregular periods, pain management, sexual impotence, headaches, common colds and flu, constipation, indigestion and so many many more. I can’t even begin to name all the recipes in this book. Rosemary not only cover your basic everyday ailments but she also covers your more unusual ailments, one which my hubby had struggled with for months now and has been to embarrassed to go to a doctor about was actually mentioned in this book, I was able to help mix up an herbal remedy for him using the recipe in this book. I also have a child which like many kids has her own set of childhood issues, this book has many remedies for kids too and I can’t wait to try some out and see how they work, especially the cold and flu remedies as we usually treat those with your conventional medicine, but now I really want to see how effective these remedies are. Rosemary does make sure to mention that these recipes were never intended to treat or diagnose an illness and it is no replacement for actual care from a dr. However I do believe this book will be a very effective tool in treating common issues and if your like me I think its a perfect companion to aid with conventional medicine, I’ve come to the conclusion in life that conventional medicine has its place and can be beneficial, but for common ailments the earth mother gas given us all we need and its best to try those medicines she offers us before we turn to the more invacive medicine offered in modern times.In all I would highly recommend this book. I will be keeping this book close at hand.One more thing Rosemary put together many herbal concoctions for a “hot date” night, there are recipes for love liquor, good life wine, men’s long life elixir and energy balls, all of these recipes help the male libido as well as energize both male and females for a very romantic evening. I though that was a very nice addition to the book since as a married woman who is married to an older man I know how sometimes not everything wants to work like its supposed to either due to medications or just the days stresses, so this for me was a really wonderful addition and I honestly can say I did not expect it but it was a lovely surprise. I think the men folk will enjoy those recipes for sure who doesn’t want to have a romantic evening with a loved one.So that is my review. Thank you Miss Gladstar for this lovely book I do believe it is one I will holdonto forever.

I’m always referencing this book!
Rosemary Gladstar is an herbal genius. Every time my boyfriend and I have any kind of ailment we turn to this herbal recipe guide for advice. I love that this book doesn’t just list cold and flu remedies. It’s broken up into sections like “Women”, “Men”, “Children”, and “the Elderly” but then there’s a specific section for “Beauty”, an “Herbal Glossay” and “Nourishing Recipes” for everyday health. This book is worth it’s weight in gold for the tea recipes alone! I would definately recommend this book to any beginning herbalist or as a quick reference guide for more intermediate herbalists. This would also be a great book for anyone looking for alternatives to conventional medications. I do NOT react well to OTC and Rx drugs so herbs have been a Godsend for me and my family. Herbs cannot replace professional treatment for serious illnesses but for a slight cough or mild ear infection running to the doctor or pharmacy isn’t always the best form of treatment… at least that’s how it is for me.Note: The digital format was less that $3 while the paperback what $16+ (not including shipping). Needless to say…I purchased the Kindle format of this book…but I regret not buying the paperback. I like being able to access it from any of my devices but it can be difficult to navigate on a phone or tablet. Plus the layout looks great in print but can get broken up when in digital format. If your on a budget or aren’t sure if herbalism is right for you…the digital format gets the job done just fine.

All your herbal needs in one book
What a gift this book is. Choked full of information to keep your health in your hands. Highly recommend!

Really enjoying this book
Loving these recipes and the creativity behind Rosemary Gladstar’s ideas. I’ve ordered many herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs to get started on my herbal journey and expand my apothecary. I do with she had a faster method for making tinctures. I know many herbalist use a magic butter machine now.

Very informative and easy to follow. Rosemary Gladstar is a master of her trade and delivers informative content and shares clear, instructional directives for her recipes. Always a pleasure for beginners or advanced.

Super buen libro, con muchisima informacion aparte de las recetas que proveen, y eh sacado tambien mucha variedad de autores en las memorias que menciona a tra vez del libro.

zwar schnell gelifert, es ist ein sehr gutes buch. Wenn man dieses Buch kauft, dann das andere Buch (Herbs for Natural Beauty) von der Autorin braucht nicht gekauft zu werden, dieses Herbal Recipes enthaltet Herbs for Natural Beauty nämlich, es ist ein chapter im Herbel Receipes.
