This book is an excellent resource for those who are interested in becoming an herbalist, those who want to try out making herbal mixtures at home, or those who are just interested in the different properties of various herbs and their effects. There is a lot of information packed in, with a focus on women's health. There are also many recipes for herbal blends to use for specific health purposes and skincare. What I found really helpful to go along with the recipes is instructions on how to make different formulas - teas, tinctures, salves, etc. I read this in ebook format, but it is probably a better resource if read in paper format. It would have been easier to flip back to some of the resource/description lists.

This book dives deep into the use of herbs for supporting all facets of women’s health. It starts off with an overview of the different types of herbal medicine applications, such as tinctures, poultices, herbal oils, capsules, tea and salves. Then it has a wonderful chart explaining herbal properties like analgesic, prolactin inhibitor and carminitive. The chart is very useful as you read through the book, since not all of us are familiar with what these terms mean! Pages 38-77 include profiles for each of the herbs referenced throughout the rest of the book. The remainder of the book is dedicated to special applications and recipes for using these herbs throughout the difference stages of our lives; Dawning (menarche to twenties), Living (twenties to peri menopause), and Fulfillment (menopause and beyond). There is also a section on skin and body health and another on support for specific conditions. Chapter 8 includes detailed directions for making all the different herbal medicines. This book is jam packed with solutions to just about every issue we face as women. The book layout is easy to navigate and nicely illustrated. I highly recommend this book to any women looking for more natural health solutions.
I received and ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is really a great reference book about using herbs for health. i copied down several that i will use as soon as get the herbs I need. Some are not in my herbal cabinet. I was really interested in the teas that can be used as a young woman but the one for sleep and calming were the ones I want to use first. Herbal formulas for sleep, hair, skin, anxiety, liver and too many others to name are discussed. For those interested in using herbs and natural remedies, this book is for you. JJ Pursell has done her research. It is well written and easy to understand and use. I received this book from Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group for an honest review and no other compensation.

The is a good companion book to use with medical assessment. The book covers from creating capsules tinctures, teas and more homeopathic medicine from scratch. The author provides a good catalog of medical proprieties of a large amount of plants and herbs, a good reference of dictionary of terminology and good recipes and step by step tutorials.

A beautiful book that is easy to read and understand. I love growing Herbs and found the information really helpful as to using your herbs both medically and as teas etc.

How thankful I am to have heard about this book! It is full of wonderful resources that I will most definitely be taking advantage of. I learned so much AND it was easy to navigate on my Kindle. Good stuff!

The Woman’s Herbal Apothercary is very informative with information for each cycle of a woman’s life. The format is easy to follow and the information is brilliant.
