I almost passed on buying this book due to the cost. I am so glad I have it on my shelf!! Haven't you always wondered about those plants around the house? Especially the ones we call weeds? Well what a suprise to receive the book and open it up to see dozens of "weeds" in clear pictures with well written explanations about them. Healing is truly in the earth and all around us. The book explains each common plant, what it's medicinal uses can be and then how to make them into safe and effective remedies. I can't wait to get out there and harvest some that grow around my house and used to fall prey to the weed wacker!! [...] The book and pages are copy paper size and well illustrated and very easy to read. I just love it!"

"This is a must-have book for anyone interested in using herbs for health and well-being! I started studying herbalism almost two years ago. It opened up a whole new world and I've embraced the beauty and power of herbs as an integral part of my daily life. I searched high and wide for a good plant identification book. Finally, I found it in this book. All of the other books I considered had drawings (which are so hard to use in a practical sense) instead of actual photos (like this one does). And the harvesting and usage notes are so helpful. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this wonderful resource! I've already shared it with others. What a bargain, at just $37, for both a digital and print copy."

[...] If you are a prepper, survivalist, or off grider, this book is for you!!! It full of the old way (ALL NATURAL) home remedies. My wife and I have had need to try some, and although I was a little skeptical at first. I will say they work. Most of the ingredients can be found in the yard or on the roadside, and just need a little prep time. Also look at the Book, "The lost Ways" Both are worth having in you library."

Dr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a mother, a survival skills instructor, and a biologist.
She graduated with a degree in Biology from McGill University in Canada and has her Master's degree in Ecology from the University of Oregon.
She earned her Doctorate through Prescott College while working as an anthropologist and ethnobotanist in Botswana.
An unexpected diagnosis of MS in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills towards her own personal wellness.
She focused on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices.
Through changes in her lifestyle, and using her own remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving.
And in 2015 she was among the first women to be selected for the History Channel's TV show Alone.
She then went on to survive for 57 days straight alone in the wild with little more than the plants that she found there.
She believes that there are many more people who need to find their own remedy.
This became her life's mission and the main reason for writing this book.
In it she poured over 28 years of plant knowledge and her first-hand experiences of making her own poultices, tinctures, decoctions, salves, syrups, infused oils, and other herbal remedies.
