Forgotten Home Apothecary : 250 Powerful Remedies at Your Fingertips

Bought this for my husband as a present and he was really pleased, it contains loads of herbal remedies with really easy to follow instructions on how to make. A very interesting and informative book.

Forgotten Home Apothecary: 250 Powerful Remedies at Your Fingertips” is an absolute gem for anyone interested in natural healing, herbalism, or building a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The book is well-organized, clearly written, and packed with practical, easy-to-follow remedies using ingredients that are often already in your kitchen or garden. What sets this book apart is its combination of ancestral wisdom and modern practicality. Each remedy includes straightforward instructions, usage suggestions, and often background on the herb or ingredient’s traditional use. The layout is clean and inviting, and the content doesn’t feel overwhelming even though it covers 250 remedies—it’s approachable whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of remedies for everyday issues like headaches, colds, digestive troubles, and skin conditions, as well as guidance on making tinctures, teas, poultices, and more. The tone of the book is empowering—it encourages taking more responsibility for your own health in a gentle, informed way. This is the kind of book you’ll keep within arm’s reach—not just read once and shelve. Highly recommended for natural remedy enthusiasts, homesteaders, or anyone curious about reviving lost healing traditions.

What a book 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to read pictures are great love the bottle's on the shelves with discription of what potions are inside.feels old school...

Just received and it arrived earlier than expected. I couldn't wait to browse and it is choc full of mainly easy to make potions. Each recipe is laid out clearly with pictures, a clear set of ingredients and instructions on how to make and dosage needed. There is an index in the front that is divided by category of ailment such as 'Respiratory System' and under each category is the various remedies. They are displayed as though you are looking at bottles on a shelf which in itself is fine but one little gripe is that it would have been nice to have all the cough syrups together etc. but not really that much of an issue. Then you get tips and info on 'how to' do various procedures and what you need such as equipment to help you prepare. Then you are into the recipes grouped by the index categories. there is a little more useful info in the back. Very happy with this book and mine is marked as the European edition which gives grams etc in recipes so very nice and eager to start making.

Good

This is a very useful book and a very good read. I do recommend it just be aware that you will find it hard sourcing some of the ingredients as they are not every day supermarket stuff.

Was a gift for my partner, who absolutely loved it, was very insightful of all home made remedies that we are both eager to try

Lots of remedies. I haven't made any yet. Will need to do a big shop for the ingredients

I just received this book and I'm very impressed. I was a bit skeptical because there are a few bad reviews regarding the organization of the index and the lack of a total list of herbs and what page they can be found on. It does however, have a list of the main herbs used at the beginning of each section. It has excellent information on dosing, as well as calculations for figuring that out. I love the index at the front with the photos arranged to look like a real apothecary shelf. Easy, step by step recipes with great instructions on how to make everything. I love this book!!
