Holly's new book! Written for every household interested in natural health, this friendly guide to herbal medicine-making addresses common health issues and shows, step-by-step, how to make and use natural remedies for healing. Based on Holly's nearly 2-decades of herbal medicine and women's natural health experience, this guidebook profiles 13 Essential Herbs -- a baker's dozen, if you will -- to help you feel healthy, naturally. Packed with 17 years of experience, advice, tips, and protocols for every member of the family, The Essential Herbal for Natural Health will be a useful reference for the whole family.

Holly chose the herbs in this book specifically for those who want to learn the basics of herbal preparations and who wish to connect on a meaningful level with the natural world, especially in regards to healing. Holly lists helpful protocols throughout, in-depth analyses of common ailments, and specific recipes for a variety of issues that we all deal with. The book is charmingly illustrated with detailed line drawings by artist Geninne Zlatkis.

Praise for The Essential Herbal:

 

"Written in the warm open style of the best of the herb classics, Holly Bellebuono’s “An Essential Herbal for Natural Health” embraces the art of  ‘kitchen & backyard medicine’ and anchors it firmly to hearth and home.     An eminently   practical guidebook filled with Holly’s favorite herbal recipes, healthful hints, and practical suggestions, The Essential Herbal is also an inspiring and powerful treatise to this ancient healing tradition.   As Holly states in her opening remarks, ‘above all, enjoy the process, love the plant and share what you learn’."       
           ~ Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist and author
"A fascinating compendium of herbal formulas for every common problem, from cradle cap to athlete's foot. Something for everyone here."
           Susun Weed, author of the Wise Woman Herbal Series

"With helpful information on identifying and harvesting the essential herbs,

An Essential Herbal for Natural Health is a treasure trove of simple recipes

and ideas for healthy living for the whole family. Holly's love of the

natural world and the healing power of the plants around her is contagious!

It will undoubtedly inspire readers in their own backyard herbalism

adventures.  As my own family learns more about the tools to health and

wellness growing all around us, I'm grateful to have Holly's book along as

our friendly guide on the journey."
