I appreciated the approach and presentation of the book. It presents its ideas in a clear and approachable manner.

Each chapter begins with the issues to be discussed, common causes and then followed by treatments. Each section also has detailed descriptions of certain flowers/ plants and their general uses which was quite fascinating.

Since this was not a copy that I could keep for frequent perusal, I only noted a few relevant recipes and the rest I just skimmed through. This is the kind of book that would look good on a kitchen shelf and be useful in a pinch for recurring small issues. I have personally previously used one or two of the suggested remedies as part of student recommended family suggestions. This may not sound like much of a compliment, except that it means that few of the recipes are ones that have worked for people I directly know and that lends a certain confidence that the rest would be the same. I recommend this to those curious about simple homemade tips to keep oneself healthy.

I received an ARC thanks to Netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

This has details for different uses for different herbs. With detailed categories, recipes and uses, this has everything you'll need to create beneficial natural herbal remedies.

I was quite unimpressed with the information in this book. I am a huge proponent of herbal medicine. This book encouraging the use of very, very basic herbs for serious illnesses is dangerous. Then herbs that can treat basic ailments have their primary uses ignored. Readers can find much better books on the subject.

A great book with many good ideas for healing our mind and body. Using herbs, meditation, exercise, and more, this book is great for anyone looking to get back to the basics.

This is a good book to have on the shelf, it has some simple remedies for everyday life. This is a book that I will turn back to over the years.

I really enjoyed this guide. The information is comprehensive and the photos are impressive. The recipes are clean and concise and include directions for thier use and application.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

This a beautifully laid out guide to home remedies! It's perfect for anyone that is interested in home remedies including beginners. The book is laid out be sections and the recipes are easy to follow. I tried some of the recipes myself and they did help. I look forward to adding this book to my collection and using it in the future.

This is an amazing addition to my collection of natural remedies. It vey informative and well laid out. The recipes were easy to follow and the ones i have tried so far, work very well.

If you have an interest in herbalism and don't know how to get started, this is a solid choice for a primer. The instructions for making each remedy are clear as are the methods for obtaining key ingredients and the benefits to health. There are plenty of photos to aid as well.

A nice and simple guide to creating useful remedies with natural herbs and ingredients at home. Unless you are an absolute beginner to this subject though, with no prior knowledge, then this book will most likely not give you much in the way of new information. It's also mostly herbal teas and infusions. Plus a dependence on beeswax and honey - animal ingredients which we really do not need from healing. It's a nice little guide, but only for someone completely new.

I really enjoyed Complete Guide to Natural Home Remedies! I learned a lot about herbs and tinctures that are beneficial to the body. I would have been interested in reading about more specific experiences from the author and real-life experiences. Another helpful idea would be to explain how to obtain the herbs mentioned; as I was very interested in utilizing them, however I know they are not available at a typical grocery store. I would love to read more information on this topic, just a deeper dive into it! Thanks to Melissa Corkhill, Fox Chapel publishinf and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book prior to publishing.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was helpful. I will continue to try more of the recipes, but this would be a solid addition to anyone's home remedies collection.

Been finding this book really interesting and it was well laid out. As I am getting to a certain age looking for new things to try rather than relying on standard medication. Working well so far.

This was SO GOOD! It was full of so much information! I’m a big fan of trying things holistically ever since my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diagnosis after my daughter was born, I’ve looked into more natural remedies. This book has everything! Melissa Corkhill did a wonderful job discussing all the wonderful properties of so many plants. I especially liked how thorough she was in the plant profile of all the plants she suggested. I find myself wishing for a hardcopy because I know I will be referencing this book often, especially with having two growing kids. I would easily recommend this book to family and friends!

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a copy.

I am so curious about natural and herbal remedies but unfortunately I can't tell you if any of them work since I am discovering a vast majority contain things I am severely allergic to.

4.5 ⭐️
A must-have for beginners looking for natural healing quick reference!

This book offers recipes for healing lotions, tea infusions, bath blends and tinctures. Topics range from bodily ailments to women’s health for the most common ailments. I’m already planning to use some for digestive and respiratory health as well as acne.

Some beautiful images are included through as well.

✅ It starts with a list of essentials to have on-hand like lavender and honey, a few herbal basics to grow in your garden, and an emergency kit quick reference. All of this is perfect as I plan to build up my herbal garden this year.

🌿 Not only does the author offer healing plant remedies, but there is plenty of holistic wisdom sprinkled throughout, like tips for de-stressing and preventing back pain, as well as plant profiles with tips on growing harvesting and uses.

Thank you to NetGalley, Fox Chapel Publishing, and Melissa Corkhill for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I am always looking for recipes that are more natural and ways to save money! This book gave me both of those. Super excited to try some of these out!

What a great book! Broken down into sections, you can go right to the body part that needs to be treated. Love the section on women’s health. Plenty of pictures and recipes.

Melissa Corkhill's COMPLETE GUIDE TO NATURAL HOME REMEDIES was disappointing. Major and minor health issues are treated with the same blithe, surface assurances that this tea, that tincture, this particular perspective will solve what ails you. The book itself is a beautiful, with photographs and a layout that are mouthwatering. I wonder if the book might have been better focused on areas that are more common annoyances not needing professional medical attention. I would have liked more of the author's own expertise and point of view rather than the arms length approach to essential, life-changing information. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

The recipes are straightforward and the pictures are beautiful. The format is a little strange where it gives a summary of a disease or ailment and then a recipe that would maybe help with symptoms of that disease but certainly isn't a remedy for it. It would feel a little better if just symptoms were listed rather than saying this was a remedy for specific medical diseases.
