The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies
304 color pages, paperback, improved print quality and a lot more plant identification details.
This unique book is written by Dr. Nicole Apelian, an herbalist with over 20 years of experience working with plants and Claude Davis, a wild west expert passionate about the lost remedies and wild edibles that kept previous generations alive.
The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies has color pictures of over 181 healing plants, lichens, and mushrooms of North America (2-4 pictures/plant for easy identification). Inside, you'll also discover over 550+ powerful natural remedies made from them for every one of your daily needs. Many of these remedies were used by our forefathers for hundreds of years while others come from Dr. Nicole’s extensive natural practice.
This book was made for people with no prior plant knowledge who are looking for alternative ways to help themselves or their families.
This lost knowledge goes against the grain of mainstream medicine and avoids just dealing with symptoms. Instead, it targets the underlying root cause and strengthens your body's natural ability to repair itself. With the medicinal herbal reference guide included, it’s very easy to look up your own condition and see exactly which herbs and remedies can help.
Let me just offer you a small glimpse of what you’ll find inside:
On page 145 learn how to make a powerful “relieving” extract using a common backyard weed. This plant acts directly on the central nervous system to help with all kinds of pain and discomfort.
You'll also discover the most effective natural antibiotic that still grows in most American backyards. (page 150)
Turn to page 275 for the natural protocol Dr. Nicole is recommending for a wide range of auto-immune conditions, after falling prey to MS herself at age 29.
I could go on and on because this book contains no less than 800+ other medicinal plants and natural remedies.

About the author
Nicole Apelian
7 books48 followersDr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a biologist, an author, an anthropologist, a wilderness skills instructor, and a mother. Nicole was a challenger on the second and fifth seasons of the History Channel’s TV series “Alone”, where she thrived in the wilderness totally solo with little more than her knife and her wits, and was recently on the UK Channel 4 documentary series "Surviving the Stone Age", now available on Amazon Prime & Discovery +. She is the author of three books, The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies: The Healing Power of Plant Medicine, A Reference Guide to Surviving Nature: Outdoor Preparation and Remedies (GEAR-WILDLIFE-WEATHER-FIRST AID), and The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods: Edible Plants, Lichens, Mushrooms, and Seaweeds.
An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her scientific research skills towards her own personal wellness. She focuses on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Through changes in her lifestyle & diet, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her own herbal remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving.
She has spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last Indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. Developing strong relationships within the tribe helped Nicole learn many of the remedies and skills she practices and teaches today and she continues her work with the San through her non-profit, "The Origins Project".
At home in the Pacific Northwest, she makes her own herbal medicines from local plants as part of her healthy living strategy, especially as related to autoimmune issues, and has her own herbal medicinal apothecary line.

Really good reference source for herbal home remedies. The detailed pictures are very helpful when identifying the plants out in the wilds. The detailed instructions on mixing the herbs gives me confidence that I haven't skipped anything important.
The only thing I wish was different about the publication is I would have put a list of illnesses and symptoms at the FRONT of the book so when an emergency happens you could just reference the needed page without having to dig deep into the back of the book to figure out the needed remedy. Or even just an illness breakdown .. respiratory ailments in a chapter, circulation problems in a chapter, skin ailments in a chapter, etc...
But all the information the reader needs is in the book.
I feel the book is well worth the money and should be a staple on any self-reliant persons bookshelf.

Oh how I really wanted to love this book.... however, it is not worth the cost! It is way overpriced. Definitely not a beautiful book. The pages are super thin, photos are blurry, just a horrible print job! I could have printed these pages on my cheap home printer and they would have looked nicer! The info is good, but there are many other books out there just like this that are much better quality for less than half the cost of this one. I wished I would have opened this book up and fell in love, but instead I felt I was cheated.

This book is a wonderful resource. There is an excellent medicinal herbal reference guide in the front, along with information on harvesting herbs and how to prepare many types of remedies. Then there is a guide to many different herbs and medicinal plants, complete with photographs and suggestions for how this plant has been used. The last section is on household remedies.
This book will be one I carry with me when I want to identify plants or weeds. The photographs will be so helpful compared to the line drawings in my old foraging companion book. I only wish this was a smaller volume and easier to haul around.
As I read through this book, I was so happy to realize that these authors have made this giant effort to preserve the old knowledge that my great-grandmother attempted to pass on to my sister and I. We both wish we had paid more attention. I am very grateful to have this book now. This information has been artfully saved.

Really good resource but does feel a little... Home printed? Example: in the Black Eyed Susan section you can see the author's shadow in the photo she took of the plants. But the information is soooo helpful, but also a little out there when they talk about dengue fever being a massive future problem for North America. Overall the information is so helpful I will look past the thin paper and home printing to use.

This is very helpful! I am pairing this with an online course where I am planning to build a more homeopathic first aid kit and also start to recognize and grow plants that can support mine and my families health and wellness!

I’ve been growing and researching so many plants lately and also collecting and drying wild herbs in the mountains of Lake Tahoe. This book is amazing and provides a great source of knowledge with photos and usage. I am so thankful I stumbled onto this book!! A must have for every home and encouraging for those who are growing herbs as well.

I love this, it’s filled with copious amounts of useful information!! The only reason I give only 4 ⭐️ is because I’m not the biggest fan of the layout. I wish things were grouped differently but, then again I’m not sure how they could have possibly done that. I do also wish that each herb was its own page and didn’t stick another herb directly below one, it gets a little confusing if your scanning for something specific. Overall though this is a must have if you forage or use/grow herbs. I have learned a lot

First thing i read about is using aloe vera to lower my blood sugar. It states I can do that by simply adjusting two tablespoons of aloe vera juice or pulp extract daily. And as you get to the end of aloe vera there's a warning that says long-term internal use of aloe vera is not recommended due to latex found in aloe vera. So how can I regulate my blood sugar without taking the remedy daily for a LONG time!

Lots of good, if not new, information here, but it's very poorly produced. Would have been so much improved with a professional design and more functional layout.
