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.)

The book is very informative and arrived quickly; however, the book was bent during shipment. I still recommend both this book and the seller because the damage was caused by an event beyond the seller's control.

Must buy! To promote natural health and healing. Easy recipes and very informative.

Great book! Simple, straightforward information. Highly recommend!

This book arrived in good condition and feels like a quality product. I flipped through it, and t just was not what I was looking for. The recipes and remedies felt a bit complex, and many of them use ingredients that are not easy to find in regular stores. So overall, it seems like a solid book for someone really into herbal work, but for me it felt more advanced than I needed. I ended up returning it.

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!

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

Good information

Beautifully laid out with easy-to-follow recipes for tinctures, teas, and salves. Great for beginners and experienced herbalists alike. Pros: Clear instructions, lots of variety, great resource. Cons: Some recipes call for harder-to-find ingredients.

It was recommended in the Woman's Weekly. Even though the writer is American and mentions American plants, I am sure a good herbalist supplier would have them. My late father grew Echinacea as a herbaceous flower over 20 years ago, so I am not concerned about herbs being from North America. It is excellent condition.

Packed full of information photos,recipes on how to make and use the herbs .great book

Good book with lots of information.

Very disappointed. Obscure ingredients and very American biased. Had to pay to return it so won't bother. Just to say, though, that the condition of the book was perfect.
