Every parent should own this book! Actually, even if you don't have kids it's a good one to have ready. Treating yourself instead of a child? Just up the "dose" a bit! In addition to the list of remedies, there are directions of how to make tea, salves, and tinctures, prenatal health care (nutrition, exercise, labor prep), nutrition for the whole family, and more. I love that at the back, there's a list of items for your herbal "first aid kit". If you're new to all of t...more
This is the passage that won me over:
"Interestingly, another term from tradiationl Chinese medicine used to describe whooping cough is 'the cough of enlightenment.' It is said that the illness puts the child through a spiritual trial from which he or she emerges more peachful and patient. Praents I know whose children have had whooping cough confirm this. While none would wish it on another, perhaps whooping cough and other illnesses serve a greater psychic and spiritual purpos...more

This book is awesome. It is giving me more and more validation the more I read of it. Its style is easy to read and speaks to the regular mother or parent out there trying to connect with their children and help them naturally.
I want a garden full of herbs now! This is such a hands on book (a little on the impractical side since the herbs are not readily available). Definitely given me something to strive for.
Nice book, great info for parents.

excellent book a wealth of info
This book is a wonderful introduction to natural healing methods. Romm explains everything very thoroughly and also tells you when you need to see an actual physician for your illness. The only downfall is that most of us aren't out there collecting/preparing our own herbs, so I don't use many of the recipes. But, the herbal knowledge presented is incredibly useful. This is my "go-to" book whenever my kiddos are sick.
I really wouldn't relinquish this from my reference book collection, unless I somehow found something with pretty much the same info that was better. It is easy to use and amptly addresses people like me who wouldn't know a poultice from their own elbow (at least when I started using this).
I use this as a common sence guide to child hood ailments. If the kids (or even me) has a minor ailment I will check this book to see if there is a natural cure. I believe strongly in the combination of natural health methods along side with allopathic care.
Recommended by Rachael. It's a great resource, and I would love to learn more about herbs.
This is the best book for children's remedies, I love it!
I use this book a lot!
