"… her words ring with a voice of experience and common sense. She does not simply toss us a book full of symptomatic remedies and leave it at that. [She] takes a holistic approach to health and offers enough sensible reminders to make this book readable."
The Herb Companion

"This gentle, interesting book is a treasure chest of information on 'how to' heal, cleanse, rejuvenate, plant, gather, and prevent. I, for one, am happy to have this herbal in my pantry."
Sweet Fern

From the Publisher

Would you like to save the world while you make your life better and put money in your pocket? Does this sound too good to be true? It's not. And the proof can be found in Jude's Herbal Home Remedies by Jude C. Williams.

So how can this book make your life better? Among the more than 800 remedies in this book are ways to quickly and easy perform tasks that used to take a long time. Need to clean some chrome? Don't go to the store for a cleaner when a lemon will do the job. Out of laundry bleach? Use vinegar instead. Did you forget the bug spray for your picnic? Just put some fresh basil on the table.

Can this really save you money? Absolutely. Think of all the cosmetics you use. Inexpensive, common products can replace them all, from lipstick to dandruff shampoo. And forget buying all of those expensive, over-the-counter medicines when the herbs and treatments listed in this book cost only pennies per dose.

How can the ideas in Jude's Herbal Home Remedies save the world? By using natural plants instead of dangerous pesticides and cleaners you will be preventing the pollution that is choking the planet.

Jude's Herbal Home Remedies shows you how to value tradition and use the best possible remedy for any reason. Often, that may be a plant in your back yard. You'll feel better, you'll have more money, and the planet will be safer when you get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my most favorite books!, May 23, 2000

By	"beccalynns" (Auburn, Missouri) - See all my reviews

I bought this book about 5 years ago, and was looking at Amazon to see if Jude had written any more books like this one. I absolutely love this book. It is filled with natural, easy remedies for just about everything that you can imagine. Every time one of my family members is sick, I pull this book and see what I can find. I have used it so many times that the cover is very worn out. Well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable!!, July 9, 2002

By	"tarabky3" (Somerset, KY United States) - See all my reviews

I am an herbology student, and my herbal and nutritional references are many, however, this is the one book that I turn to more often than any others. It gives complete herbal instructions in an easy to use, fun format. I am purchasing copies for my teenage daughters who seem to find something new in it everyday. It is a book you should not be without. If you are looking for a book with complete, effective herbal remedies for not only your family, but for your household and pets- LOOK NO FURTHER!!
Jude, God bless you!
