Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health: 175 Teas, Tonics, Oils, Salves, Tinctures, and Other Natural Remedies for the Entire Family

Loved this book. Rosemary Gladstar is a well known and trusted herbalist, and this book not only explains things well, but gives lots of recipes for whatever condition you are hoping to help. A great reference for a beginner herbalist.

I bought this book in hopes to learn some hearbal healing. I've been interested in herbal naturopathic medicine for quite some time, in an effort to find remedies to the many ailments my family and friends suffer from. In my family we've always gone yo the traditional western doctors, but in the past few years they have been failing us. In reality they have failed us for much longer I just didn't do anything about it. I finally got fed up ad decided I wanted to attend college and become a certified herbologist and midwife. So while I am doing my studies in those areas I decided to buy many different herbal healing books.This book was one of them.I give this book 5 stars because it is superbly written and well thought out. Each recipe is very detailed and useful. Many of the ailments mentioned and treated with natural medicine are ones my family and I suffer from, a few examples would be infertility, irregular periods, pain management, sexual impotence, headaches, common colds and flu, constipation, indigestion and so many many more. I can't even begin to name all the recipes in this book. Rosemary not only cover your basic everyday ailments but she also covers your more unusual ailments, one which my hubby had struggled with for months now and has been to embarrassed to go to a doctor about was actually mentioned in this book, I was able to help mix up an herbal remedy for him using the recipe in this book. I also have a child which like many kids has her own set of childhood issues, this book has many remedies for kids too and I can't wait to try some out and see how they work, especially the cold and flu remedies as we usually treat those with your conventional medicine, but now I really want to see how effective these remedies are. Rosemary does make sure to mention that these recipes were never intended to treat or diagnose an illness and it is no replacement for actual care from a dr. However I do believe this book will be a very effective tool in treating common issues and if your like me I think its a perfect companion to aid with conventional medicine, I've come to the conclusion in life that conventional medicine has its place and can be beneficial, but for common ailments the earth mother gas given us all we need and its best to try those medicines she offers us before we turn to the more invacive medicine offered in modern times.In all I would highly recommend this book. I will be keeping this book close at hand.One more thing Rosemary put together many herbal concoctions for a "hot date" night, there are recipes for love liquor, good life wine, men's long life elixir and energy balls, all of these recipes help the male libido as well as energize both male and females for a very romantic evening. I though that was a very nice addition to the book since as a married woman who is married to an older man I know how sometimes not everything wants to work like its supposed to either due to medications or just the days stresses, so this for me was a really wonderful addition and I honestly can say I did not expect it but it was a lovely surprise. I think the men folk will enjoy those recipes for sure who doesn't want to have a romantic evening with a loved one.So that is my review. Thank you Miss Gladstar for this lovely book I do believe it is one I will holdonto forever.

Her books are always well written and informative and used for reference over and over.

What a gift this book is. Choked full of information to keep your health in your hands. Highly recommend!

It could have more recipes specifically for plantain etc but it's still useful

Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health by Rosemary Gladstar is a should-have for anyone interested in herbal or natural remedies because this author is the EXPERT. The book contains a varied collection of recipes and remedies in terms of conditions treated and types of products (salves, teas, oils, tinctures, etc.). The author’s instructions are easy to use and it is easy to see she has a passion for teaching and sharing her wisdom.Rating: 4/5 StarsRecommendation: I bought this book to supplement what I had learned in my first book from Rosemary Gladstar, Medicinal Herbs (which is the book I would definitely start with). This book contains additional recipes and formulations, and I did not notice any repeated recipes. The recipes are accessible for even a beginner and the well-organized structure of the book makes it easy to find what you need. I highly recommend for anyone looking to make their own herbal products, especially if you are beginner or intermediate.

Great resource and the pictures were awesome. Love this book!

I like this book because it it easy to read and sue the recipes. What I also like is the basic information about herbs, health and healing without a lot of technical jargon. I will be applying many of the recipes in my life.

Before I ordered this book I watched and listened to her prepare remedies and share her knowledge. I was impressed as she spoke to me. I was looking for a herbal book with colour photos on quality paper, recipes (most important), information on the plants and what they are used for. There are sections about herbs for women, men, children, and seniors. It has a page of content, places to resource herbs, and an index. Rosemary Gladstar speaks from her heart and loves to share her knowledge to bless others at an affordable price. This book isn’t big but it’s packed with so much information. I highly recommend it. I am now interested in more of her books. I also purchased her Medicinal Herbs a Beginner’s guide and Fire Cider. All excellent books. It was a slam dunk for me.

Super buen libro, con muchisima informacion aparte de las recetas que proveen, y eh sacado tambien mucha variedad de autores en las memorias que menciona a tra vez del libro.

This book is beautifully compiled with a herb directory & recipes that are very easy to follow. I also admire Rosemary putting in a herbalism part for men section, as it doesn’t get spoken about often enough. I love Rosemary’s little words of wisdom throughout the book & specially her rules for building well being in our old age.A little recommendation would be The Gift of Healing Herbs by Robin Rose Bennett after this one. Both are my absolute favourites.

zwar schnell gelifert, es ist ein sehr gutes buch. Wenn man dieses Buch kauft, dann das andere Buch (Herbs for Natural Beauty) von der Autorin braucht nicht gekauft zu werden, dieses Herbal Recipes enthaltet Herbs for Natural Beauty nämlich, es ist ein chapter im Herbel Receipes.

Beautiful. This is the first on of her books that I have bought and I love her easy, friendly and highly informative style. Great tips and recipes with lots of reasoning and knowledge shared on each one.
