Edgar Cayce's Herbal and First-Aid Remedies (Kindle Edition)
By Simone Gabbay

I always enjoy reading Cayce books because they are filled with his knowledge. This particular book was somewhat watered-down for advanced herbalists or those familiar with first aide. It is a great book for beginners and the herbs suggested are great all purpose herbs anyone should have available.

Worth the read!

Healing Herbs & Spices : Health Benefits of Popular Herbs & Spices Plus Over 70 Recipes To Use Them In (Healing Foods Series) (Kindle Edition)
By Lee Anne Dobbins

I prefer to use natural remedies, and some of my favorites are ginger, turmeric and oregano. I'll often take these as supplements or teas, and have been working to incorporate them more into my meals. This book is a real find, part reference and part cookbook. I like the way it's organized, featuring details and background about each ingredient followed immediately by the relevant recipes. The photos are a nice touch as well.

Coconut Oil Cures (Miracle Healers From The Kitchen) (Kindle Edition)
By Sharon Daniels

I went to a health retreat in Thailand last year and for week had a table spoon of coconut oil every day - without knowing why.
Everyone there was saying it is a wonder cure but until I read this book, I didn't appreciate the value of coconut oil.
This is a very extensive book and covers health, weight loss, using it in the home and more. There were lots of things about using, and benefits of, coconut oil that I just didn't know.
This book is a very useful introduction to the topic.

Herbal Remedies Guide: Uses Of 100 Herbs For Common Ailments (Kindle Edition)
By Angela Curtis

Great book to read, especially as it gets close to cold and flu season. Anyone looking for natural ways to cure many common illnesses should definitely pick up this book and read it. By using the remedies provided in this book, you don't have to fool with going to the doctor for medicine and can avoid the possible negative side effects that come from many of the common prescription drugs out there. As mentioned in the description, many of the herbs needed for these remedies can be easily found in the supermarket, so it isn't hard to pick up the necessary ingredients and try out these remedies when you are sick. I would highly recommend this book.

Get Well Stay Well (Get Well Stay Well Guides) (Kindle Edition)
By Cheryl Hines

I must confess before I read Get Well Stay Well I was a complete skeptic about any type of Homeopathic medicine. Cheryl Hines uses logical sensible explanations as to why we should be open to considering alternatives to traditional medical treatments.

It is a very common sense read to some of the everyday illness that we all encounter. Did she convert me? Yes to some extent. When to rest in bed, hot baths, cold showers, slowing down and listening to your body are all useful bits of information.

It is a book that I will reread often. Although I don't think I am into home remedies that much I will take her ideas to my local health food store to see if they have some of these "cures".

I was disappointed in this book - probably expected more advice and insight into Cayce and his teachings. I am sure there are other books out there that could be more informative for me.

What is Arnica? Why Arnica Montana is the #1 Best-Selling Homeopathic Remedy in the World (What Is?) (Kindle Edition)
By Ruth Elston

I wish the book had been written by a practicing homeopath rather than a well informed enthusiast and that is why I only give it 4 stars. However, Ruth Elston obviously really believes in arnica and her book provides lots of valuable, easy-to-understand information. The book is clearly written and very nicely organized.
My brother has been using Arnica for his sprained ankle and he has been trying to convince me to take it before undergoing surgery on my knee.
I learned a many things from this book and have decided to give Arnica a try.
Although only giving it 4 stars I recommend the book highly for anyone wanting to know more about arnica.

Making Herbal Remedies (Herbology At Home) (Kindle Edition)
By Anke Bialas

Anke says that she considers herbology an amateur interest whereas herbalism is a professional pursuit. I was glad to hear someone else make the same differention as I do! I always consider myself an herbologist, one who studies herbs and no way would I be ready to consider myself an herbalist, if ever! But as Anke says, just because we consider herbology for amateurs does not mean it is any less effective or important! What Anke does say it represents is a continuation of an ancient tradition whereby herb lore is practiced by everyday people in everyday situations! Now that was truly speaking to me folks! Anke's aim is to help guide everyone in taking back our heritage of herbal medicine and passing it on to future generations!

The book is very well written and easy to read with clear instruction for making internal and external remedies. There are sections on infused oils, creams, first aid, children, tinctures, food as medicine and many others. Each is very helpful ready reference when you are making your own remedies at home. What I consider very useful is the fact I finally have a book in my home library that is so easy, and fast to use. Let's just say you have gathered some St. John's Wort and you can't remember right away how to infuse it in oil or fresh tincture it, just grab this book and you can immediately find the sections of the book to help! A ready reference with sound advice right at my fingertips! I am in love!
