5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for natural health/home remedies, September 17, 2004

By	M. Ganotis (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this book. It is very comprehensive and easy to read. Every health or home-care issue I've thought of that I'd like a natural remedy to seems to be addressed in this book. The remedies are all simple to do/create. The layout also is very user-friendly and colorful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value and info, May 27, 2009

By	Robyn Hull (Ellensburg, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first borrowed a copy of "1001 Natural Remedies" from a friend, then realized it would be a good reference to have on hand. I'm getting good value for the price, as the recipes are concise and well-categorized.

Eventually, you realize that the same 7 ingredients seem to make up the majority of these recipes. For the most part, one trip to the natural foods store will have you ready to concoct lip balm, stress-relieving bath salts and itchy scalp.

It would be nice to have some specific product recommendations, as opposed to "use an unscented, natural shampoo". On the other hand, the author helpfully alerts you to recipes that will be messy.

The photos are very nice, and made me check out things I might have ignored otherwise.
