Herbal home remedies,
By Cooper 'n me (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Herbal Wines, Vinegars & Syrups: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-228 (Paperback)
The bulletin covers the basic equipment needed (most, if not all of it, is already in your kitchen), base ingredients, which herbs to use, homespun alchemy, making medicinal wines, medicinal vinegars, bittersweets, syrups, and sugar-free syrups. Recipes included.
What I like best about these Country Wisdom bulletins is that they provide concise information on a single subject. No wasted space.

This review is from: Healing Herbal Wines, Vinegars & Syrups: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-228 (Paperback)
I have purchased several of these booklets from the Story Country Wisdom series. They by-and-large are ALL good and I have not been dissatisifed with even one of them. They are simplistic in that they are easy to read and understand, yet are very useful. Sadly much of the old art of medicines/home remedy styles, food preprations such as drying foods, and much other preparedness and survival knowledge have been lost with time. Story has preserved alot of it and is passing it on to us...and if I may add...at what I believe is a fair price. I say buy up with confidence.
