I found "Nature's Children" to be a wealth of knowledge on herbal remedies. But I believe the main thrust of the book is how to raise children in as natural an environment as possible. She discusses everything from nursing and weaning to fever and fasting, the benefits of sunlight and moonlight. It was very easy reading and quite a page-turner full of interesting stories and examples of healing. The author obviously has extensive experience and the book is filled with references to usages with her own children and people in many parts of the world including her chosen people the gypsies. She proves the benefits of a mostly raw-foods organic diet for children offering practical tips for their consumption and enjoyment. The book includes sketches of many herbs as you would find them in nature. Also included are recipes, some of which I am eager to try, but all are interesting and varied. I highly recommend this book for anyone eager to learn more about the many benefits of herbs in a story-book format that includes an index or for the reader interested in the organic vegetarian lifestyle. This book will certainly compel one to yearn for more nature-based living.

Gave the book to a friend for helpful ideas on keeping the children healthy. She loves the book.
