Herbs are quite literally everywhere; it is only our ability to recognize their value that has been lost
Vicky and Kim explore the traditional uses of herbs combined with a modern and scientific understanding of a truly holistic approach so that you can use herbs to treat ailments and improve your general wellbeing. The book contains fascinating information about herbs with suggestions of what each herb can be used for.
Did you know that daisies infused in oil can be used to reduce bruises? That roses can help grieving and anxiety? Or that elderflower cordial can bring down a temperature? There is also an introduction to each of the body’s systems (nervous, respiratory etc.) and which herbs are best for treatments. And of course, the book is peppered with vinegars, balms, oils, tinctures, creams, lotions and syrups to create your own little herbal health kit. Vicky and Kim also encourage people to reconnect with their local environment in addition to growing herbs in their gardens or windowsills.
An all-encompassing guide for the beginner, The Handmade Apothecary is filled with guidance, useful tips and tried-and-tested recipes that will inspire people to make their own remedies.

Easy to follow
This book contains clear, concise instructions for tinctures, infusions, salves, etc.. I was a bit intimidated about trying to make some of these things until I found this book. I’ve made several of the recipes in the book and have been pleased with how they turned out. Kudos to the author for making it easy to do.

Tracking / delivery took a while
I ordered this book in early March and didn’t get it until a whole month + later. Tracking didn’t update for a long time and when it did it said it was delivered March 15, which wasn’t the case so that was annoying.Other than that the book is really good and I like it a lot.
