Forget The Pharmacy - Grow Your Own Medicine: The Homesteader's Ultimate Self-Sufficient Guide to Grow Herbs, Craft Natural Remedies, and Treat Common ... Proactively (Growing Natural Remedies Series)

A real eye opener, brilliant book well worth a read

I was thrilled to see that Jenni had released another book and ordered the paperback straight away as I love her passion and her way of imparting her expertise in a way that’s accessible for everyone. However, I couldn’t wait for the physical copy to arrive so downloaded the ebook too - well worth it!!!Jenni Rempel's books are packed with useful and fascinating information, and the best part is that you don't have to be an expert to get started. Herbs are so simple to grow, and Jenni does an excellent job of highlighting the best ways to use them for simple and natural remedies.As in her previous book, Jenni’s narrative is captivating and motivating. I've already learned so much from this high-quality book. It’s beautifully laid out and explained in such simple terms that no one should be intimidated by the prospect of making safe and cost-effective herbal remedies in their own gardens and kitchens. I especially loved the chapter on reviving lacklustre hair (much needed in my case).I eagerly await Jenni's next book and look forward to continuing this fascinating journey into embracing a more natural way of life.

I have many herbals in my bookcase. I’ve been using herbs for years and often make medicinal tinctures This is an excellent book. I wish I had it years ago it would’ve been so useful then it will be useful still but I am a pensioner now I could’ve done with this when I was younger I think this book should be on everyone’s bookcase, especially if you’re interested in this sort of thing, and I read this book on kindle, but I will be buying a hardcopy as I have many books in my book cases. I only buy hardcopies if I think they are excellent.

Very easy to read with categories that make sense and understand. This a great starter book for anyone wanting to learn how to make their own remedies for many common ailments.The only downside is, It is not a gardening book, there is no information on how to grow the plants. but that is the only criticism I have/

Love this book, easy to read and packed with information. Good value for money. Have recommended to others.

Very interesting book as a beginner into the herb world it gives a good understanding and very easy to follow steps for making tinctures balms remedies etc a must read for anyone interested in natural remedies 10/10

I love the content but at first I couldn't understand why I have dashes in the text then I realised its a dot where d is missing in the image you can see download but all the d's have been substituted with a splodge.

this books great, theres no pics but thats easily remedied, clear sections with ideas how to help ailments and how to prepare, book is packed, with ideas

Interesting read on how herbs can be used in place of medicine. I think in today’s world there are to many drugs and using herbs seems to be a move in the right direction. This book offers many ways herbs can be used as a treatment and how to use the herb. There is a basic, informative section, on how to prepare your garden, how to care for plants, how & when to harvest and store the herbs. Must read book for beginners.

This book was excellent. Very informational! If you are looking to go the more natural root, I highly suggest picking up this book! You will learn all about natural products and learn some awesome at home remedies for medicine. I definitely recommend!

the past few years I have been trying to get a way from using things that have harsh chemicals and looking towards herbs and plants that have medicinal properties. I have found that Jenni Rempel's books are an invaluable resource for learning about herbalism and growing my own medicine. I love that she goes into detail about different everyday plants such as Aloe Vera and rosemary. I love the recipes towards the end of the book to help readers learn how to utilize the herbs into useable recipes.What I would like though, is with each discussion on what the plants and herbs do a little bit about the care and how to grow these herbs. Other than that I think this is one of the best herbal medicinal books I have read in a long time.

I have always tried to help my family’s health at home first and to support them in getting better faster. This is a helpful resource in my goals.

I absolutely love books on ways to heal your ailments naturally and this is a great one to have in your library. It covers herbal remedies for physical and mental ailments. I really liked that it covered dementia and depression. There are a lot of amazing recipes in here that don't just sound like eating just leafy greens and herbs. They are really delicious sounding. Great book if you prefer to try natural cures.
