**Thank you to Rosemary Shaw and NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book in exchange for an honest review!** I really enjoyed this book and thought that it was an interesting read. I was recently diagnosed with Endometriosis and I am becoming more interested in learning different ways to deal with my illness. One of the things about my disease is that I should be following a more anti-inflammatory diet and I feel like this book really helped me to consider all of the parts of nutrition and health. It also enabled me to understand the ways that we impact our health and the steps that we can take that we can take to improve our help. Insomnia is also a major symptom of my disease and this book really helped me to have tips to improve my insomnia and reduce sleep disturbances.

Arc Review on netgalley


Such a well written organized book. One well worth adding to the herbal library for any herbalist. A lot to learn, reference and grow as an herbalist.

It was a bit hard to follow the arc version in kindle so I look forward to reviewing the print final copy.

So many great remedies! This book is awesome to have on hand! I loved seeing remedies I already knew side by side remedies I’d never heard of. This book will come in handy in the long run for sure.

A lot of interesting information. From the why’s to the how’s and everything in between. I think this is a great starting point for someone interested in herbal remedies.

This is a great beginner's guide to herbalism, with a focus on treating insomnia. It covers a lot of general information as well as info about specific herbs and ailments. My favorite section is the teas at the end, and I'm really looking forward to trying some of them!

I do wish there had been more pictures, or just something to break up all the text. This could end up being different in the final print version though.

Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Introduced as a beginner's guide to the herbal approach, especially targeting insomnia - and definitely delivers as advertised. I have good background in herbalism, and found the approach and information perfect for someone just starting out. Basic information, good tie in to pharma approach, and appropriate contingencies outlined.

I am not a fan prescribed medicine. So this book will be added to my herbal library. It is detailed, to the point and very informative. It is also told in easy to understand terms. I like that it is very through in explanations and what to use it for. I love growing herbs and have used them as a replacement for minor illnesses for years.

This book will be a staple in my home. We are moving away from western medicine and more in herbal medicine. This book does a fantastic job on description and uses of herbs and recipes.

I enjoyed reading this book. There were several recipes that looked great and I can’t wait to try them. I like the tea blend recipes. This book more for beginners.

Good information on building better sleep habits, but the recipes and herbal descriptions was underwhelming compared to other resources I’ve read on the topic. Accessible for beginners.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Herbal Healing Remedies is a very informative but not overwhelmingly so, book about over 100 herbs and their benefits along with herbal remedies you can use them in. The book informs us of the origins of said herbs, how they work and benefit us and how even today we rely on and use old remedies and herbs for healing and health benefits. I loved the fact this book contains recipes for making your own herbal teas and really can't wait to give them a go!
A brilliant book for anyone looking for a health benefit from herbalism and to learn more about it too.

This was fascinating, a book to have in my bookcase for reference. There are many things that are worth trying even if then you have to seek medical attention also. We use herbs a lot in cooking and had not really considered the health benefits, only the taste. Definately something I will need to read again.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Love this book so much! I am always very fascinated with herbal remedies. This book is packed full of information and it very fun to read. Highly recommend.

Good habits lead to more restful sleeping. I agree with this author that too much caffeine and stress will disrupt your sleeping patterns..

The causes and remedies for insomnia, as well as many other common ailments, are discussed and explained in great depth - almost as if these were course materials for an actual class that the author might be teaching! The total lack of visual aids (i.e, no pictures or drawings of the herbs, for example) had me thinking that this was in fact a teaching manual.

The author has a very methodical approach in presenting her materials. She makes a good case for opting to use herbal remedies over conventional medicine. She also provides you with her "must have" top herbs to always have on hands.

I was intrigued by many of the herbal combinations that she suggested for various common ailments. I am going to recommend this book for people who are serious about using herbal remedies over conventional medications. I am only deducting a point because there are no visual aids. Hibiscus, for example, has many health benefit - and produces beautiful flowers. We read and learn with both our eyes and our senses.

Overall, a well written and well-researched guidebook on healthful herbs. My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’m so sorry but I cannot recommend this book. I found so much troubling in it. I’m not sure that the author has any real herbal training— not that there aren’t wonderful herbalists who are self taught, but this is just so lacking in proper information.

At one point the author inexplicably says that you can die from taking “just a few extra” vitamin D supplements but that paracetamol (Tylenol) has a wide safety margin. What on earth? Tylenol is one of the most common causes of overdose and liver failure.

She gives very vague descriptions of the herbs and how to use them.

She makes spelling errors like saying perineal (related to the area between the vagina and anus) when she means perennial (related to plants that live more than a year).

There are no photos.

There is scarce information on how to make herbal treatments and it is sometimes incorrect.

Important healing herbs are left out, even very common ones.

Those that are included generally leave out most of their uses.

She includes plants like digitalis, which is so poisonous it should never be used as a healing herb (she says this but then why include it?).

A full third of the book is a deep dive into insomnia. Most of the advice has nothing to do with herbs.

I hate to be critical but this is a topic where you really need to have very safe information and people without herbal knowledge could be led astray by inaccurate and incomplete information.

The author seems like a very nice woman but I cannot recommend this book. There are many other wonderful herbal books. I recommend anything by Rosemary Gladstar as a good first choice.

I read a digital copy of this book via NetGalley.
