Rosemary Gladstar’s Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health

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 love this layout. Rosemary provides great explanations and shares her years of experience. As someone learning, I was looking for someone to trust, as there is a great deal of contradictory information out there about herbs. This book provides the recipes to help with issues and explains step by step how to prepare.

Great book, easy recipes and loads of information.

I love this book and the years of knowledge it represents. I am now making beautiful skin cream in my kitchen! I am learning how herbs can help my mood, help me sleep and help my mind. This book is dog earred and written in. Used every day.

It should be titled Herbal TEA Recipies, because thats mostly what's in here. Super helpful though.

Easy to follow recipes for all kind of homemade remedies. I bought two, one for a friend.

Wow, there is a LOT of information in this book. I really think that there is something for everyone in this guide. It is well written, well laid out, and easy to find what you are looking for. I have used it to plan my herb garden. There is an index of herbs that is absolutely amazing in the detailed information and the amount of herbs it covers. I am looking forward to using some of my home grown herbs for everything from beauty (which there are a lot of recipes) to health for my whole family. I am new to this whole world of herbal remedies, but Rosemary Gladstar's book is definitely an easy way to get started. The recipes are easy to follow. Yes, there are some herbs I can't grow, but there are also many recipe alternatives that I can. I am really happy with this purchase, and it makes a great addition to my library. I actually took this book in to work today for a few of my co-workers to thumb thru. Already two people have decided to order their own copy. I think that is a good indicator. A great value for the price for sure. If you find my review helpful, please click the yes button down there to let me know :)

Rosemary Gladstar is one of the leaders in the herbal industry. I have at least one other book of hers.

Before I ordered this book I watched and listened to her prepare remedies and share her knowledge. I was impressed as she spoke to me. I was looking for a herbal book with colour photos on quality paper, recipes (most important), information on the plants and what they are used for. There are sections about herbs for women, men, children, and seniors. It has a page of content, places to resource herbs, and an index. Rosemary Gladstar speaks from her heart and loves to share her knowledge to bless others at an affordable price. This book isn’t big but it’s packed with so much information. I highly recommend it. I am now interested in more of her books. I also purchased her Medicinal Herbs a Beginner’s guide and Fire Cider. All excellent books. It was a slam dunk for me.

Another great book for herbal recipes that you can make at home to help with ailments and things like the common cold and headaches. Easy to read and follow. Now just need to improve my herb patch!

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.

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.

Las "recetas" de este libro son sencillas y practicas. Y entre las paginas hay desparramado un poquito de sabiduria. Una gozada!
