REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: Herbal Nurturing, a family healing and learning guide
Ever since I became a mama I have wanted to have a basic knowledge of herbal treatments and preparations. When all around me the talk was of "vaccines, drugs, infectious disease, fevers, ibuprofin, infant drug overdose" I heard "fear, fear, fear."
I was fed up with a dependency on doctors who were in the back pocket of the pharmaceutical companies. The advice I was getting on caring for my baby’s health just did not seem logical, nor in line with God’s creation.
So here I am four years later, still learning the basics of which plants have which properties and how to prepare a simple balm or tincture. When I heard of Michele‘s new ebook, Herbal Nurturing: A Family Healing and Learning Guide, I knew I needed to read it and share it with you all.
I really wish I had this book four years ago, just look at this list of herbal remedies:
This book is a compilation of Michele’s own research. Written from one mama to the next, her emphasis is on treating the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. When she discussed preventative care like eating a nourishing real food diet I knew I was in the right place.
About the Recipes
Sample recipes include:
- People’s Paste – an herbal alternative to antibiotic ointments.
- Calendula Salve – soothing for burns or baby’s bottoms.
- Mama’s Bath Salts – relaxing and rejuvenating for the weary mother.
This book is simple, straightforward, and takes the fear out of home herbal preparations. The ingredients for her recipes can easily be found in your own garden or Mountain Rose Herbs. And each recipe comes with cautions, suggestions for use, and urgent care options.
So if you are like me, and want to bring your child’s health care back to the home, I highly recommend Herbal Nurturing as a resource I am sure I will be using again and again. Michele has also kindly offered to give away a copy of the ebook to two of you!

Hey. I think this is a great opportunity! I am a garden teacher at the YWCA here in the city. I work with inner-city kids that are a little intimidated about natural ways of life and I am the opposite! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your blog and it’s assisted quite a few of my sisters in our natural ways. I hope to win to be able to share, as a herbalist the amazing ways that God intended for us to live!! Blessings.
I am struggling as I try to make more changes in my home toward natural – real foods, home remedies, etc. I often feel like throwing up my hands as it is so time consuming. I need things explained well with complete directions for use. Maybe this would be a good resourse for me. Thanks for the chance to win.
This books looks great!! I love Mountain Rose Herbs too – so I already know where to get everything I need. Just need the recipes!! 🙂
