The Herbal Home Remedy Book
Simple Recipes for Tinctures, Teas, Salves, Tonics, and Syrups
by Joyce A. Wardwell
This book of "homespun alchemy" bursts with easy recipes for medicinal
wines, herbal oils, salves, tonics, syrups, throat drops--you name it. From
the guidelines for gathering medicinal plants to instructions for tincture
preparation, Joyce Wardwell conveys her love and respect for herbs. She
comes from a long line of herbalists: her great-great-grandmother Jane
learned the herbal craft from the Ojibway in Minnesota; Jane's mother was
condemned for witchcraft and her husband was hung for it during the Salem
Witch Trials. But there's nothing to fear from the Remedy Book: recipes are
made primarily from the 25 most common herbs, and instructions are so clear
they're nearly foolproof. The flu, insomnia, colic, menopause, and sore
muscles are all covered. Any household with children will find the "herbal
home medicine chest" invaluable, with treatments for everyday ailments such
as colds and coughs, burns, bug bites, bruises, and strains. Printed in
purple ink and illustrated with purple ink and green ink one color drawings.
Storey Publishing, Pownal VT, 1998, 1st printing, 170 pages, 6" x 9", trade
paperback, illustrated.
