From tinctures to ease tummy aches to elixirs to enhance energy, making your own remedies from easy-to-find herbs can be a satisfying and pleasurable way to connect with nature and your family's health. While entering the "herb world" can be intimidating—many of today's herb books are filled with cultivation tables, harvest techniques, dye charts, and aromatherapy guidelines—The Essential Herbal for Natural Health provides a welcome entry point for those wishing to experience the beauty and simplicity of natural herbal remedies safely. By focusing on just thirteen foundation herbs, you can easily jump into the world of herbs while still creating a wide range of remedies and recipes. With something for everyone in the family—men, women, and children—these simple recipes can be made to cure coughs, calm anxiety, moisturize skin, and more.

      With the increasing popularity of herbal remedies, many readers are interested in creating their own treatments. Here, herbalist Bellebuono offers an introductory course for those who want to make remedies and body-care items. She provides information on 13 primary herbs commonly used for diverse purposes and easy to identify and grow. (Calendula, ginger, mint, and raspberry are among them.) She then discusses how to use fresh and dried herbs, which conditions they treat, and how to make medicinal products. She encourages readers to consult health practitioners before using herbs. Chapters on medicines for men, women, and children; one on herbs during pregnancy; and recipes complete the book. The author includes a glossary, dosage guidelines for children and adults, a seasonal chart for harvesting herbs, a list of common plant names and their Latin binomials, and a resource list. VERDICT This is a balanced basic introduction on creating herbal medicines; recommended.--Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L.
