About the Author

Cat Ellis is a practicing herbalist and avid prepper. Her love of herbs began with “pretty things”, like sachets and scents. After using herbs to recover from a severe bout with influenza in 1999, however, her focus became fixed upon the medicinal properties of plants. Cat's interest in prepping began in 2008 when her household faced a loss of income due to the failing economy. Both interests melded together earning her the nickname, “The Herbal Prepper”. Cat Ellis is a homeschooling mom who teaches herbalism, aromatherapy, and food storage techniques in New England. Cat regularly blogs and podcasts on her website, HerbalPrepper.com. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Miracle Cure for ME so far!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this book. Bought it two months ago and for a small book, it is well worth the money. I have made the Flu syrup for my neighbor and its tasty and in 24 hours, the 6 year old is better and the mom is on her way to recovery.
But, the ABSOLUTE BEST RECIPE IS THE NUTRITIONAL SYRUP.
I have been ill for 6 years with a stomach issue that WILL NOT GO AWAY. Have had biopsies, colonoscopy and an endoscopy. They removed my gall bladder with the illness getting worse. I have considered any treatment I found.
During the last year, I have ballooned to 196 and multiple times daily, I have been vomiting.
I bought this book out of anxiety and I was considering it an emergency purchase.
I kid you not, people.
I havent thrown up in 8 days.
I was able to brush my teeth without gagging.
I walked the dogs without sweating buckets.
Went to the store ALONE and brought in all the groceries by myself.
I cannot tell you how much this recipe has changed my life.
I am not swollen as much as before and Ive had a regular bowel movement which is a blessed MIRACLE.
My body has to get better ... But Im already 100% improved.
And Ive lost 23 lbs. Mostly water weight and my skin is not so tight and itchy anymore.
Shocked. But feeling loads better!!!

Some apparent errors. I suggest reading her clarifications in her comment below. Lots of good information in the book

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2017

There's a lot of useful information in the book for someone interested in making & using herbal medicine but there's also some errors as well. For example: She says on page 77 that "elder is not effective on rhinovirus" & then "elderberry is not an effective remedy for the common cold, & both those statements are just plain WRONG. Regardless of how Elder works, it is still VERY effective on Rhinovirus (common cold).
I've been using Elderberry syrup for several years & have successfully treated DOZENS of upper respiratory tract infections (common colds) that I've had, as have my Pastor & Choir Director & others I've shared it with, oft times we've felt relief in MINUTES.
Another example is on page 169, where she bashes whole grains, & claims that "there really isn't much difference between a slice of white bread--and a slice of whole wheat bread".
REALLY? No room here to go into detail, but if you don't know how much better whole grains are for you than processed white grains, I suggest that you go to the Mayo Clinic web site and/or Harvard Health Publications, put out by Harvard Medical School & ask if whole grains are healthier than white processed grains.
There are also multitudes of other information sources that report similar findings, but these are a couple of (i.m.o.) the more notable ones.

Not for the novice

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

The vast majority of herbs, oils, and mixtures written about inside of this book would require an insane amount of time to obtain, log, and organize. This is not a basic guide for people preparing for major events such as earthquakes, etc. I would say even the advanced chemist or botanist would find it extremely difficult to obtain so many different items. If you're looking for easy to obtain items that will enable you to make holistic mixtures to help treat a wide variety of medical issues in times of emergency, this is not the book for you. I'm highly disappointed!

No experience in this subject but this book is comprehensive & very prepper-oriented. Well worth it.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Honestly, this is the first book I've gotten on this subject. I wouldn't know if there's anything amiss or incorrect. Bearing that in mind, I'm looking at this from a prepper's perspective. I found it to be a well-laid-out, very inclusive, and pertinent to a no-doctor-available scenario.

Practical info for infections, burns, broken bones, etc. A very nice list of herbs/ingredients with comprehensive info on what part of the plant to use, what effects it's for, uses, how to prepare it, dosing, and contraindications. All very very useful and easy to understand.

Mind you, there are a lot of medical-ish words that are used that you aren't going to be able to avoid in a book on this subject, but all the definitions are in a glossary you can just flip to and check if needed. Extremely thoughtful and sensible. There's also an appendix at the back that's a chart of herbs/plants appropriate by symptom or use. So you can look it up that way. Also very thoughtful.

The book is not huge, but imo is an excellent size, and is light, so would definitely be worth the space to pack if you needed to. All in all, very impressed with this book.

Don't let the SHTF without this book!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2015

This book is the next best thing to having Cat Ellis sitting in your living room or better yet, helping you make some of the tinctures, extracts or salves with you in person. From start to finish this is written for a time you might not have access to conventional medicine but need it. That said, you will realize as you begin reading you will be gathering materials soon after reading. The only thing that would be better would be having every one of these salves, tinctures or extracts already made up in a corner cupboard ready to use.
This book is written as though Cat Ellis is talking to you. She has done her research and not only has she covered ingredients, how-to instructions, when various things might be appropriate to use, she obviously knows human physiology and anatomy, the herbs she speaks about and their effects on the body. She has backed up her work with resources and studies, and is very specific about how to prepare nature's medicines for use safely.
What I appreciate is the way Cat Ellis talks to you throughout the book. She draws from real life experience and hours of research and hard work. She also brings home the fact that this is not always a substitute for conventional medicine. Some things cannot be helped by herbal preparations and require immediate hospital care- if it's available. If not, this is a book I will be happy to have with me and hopefully I will be able to gather enough ingredients to start making my own 'Nature's First Aid Kit' right away. I won't be sorry.
If I had to want anything more, I'd want a plastic cover for this book because it's going to get handled quite a bit.

Disappointing

Such a shame. For starters there are no images to see the plants etc the book was referring to. No proper index or real substance to what was written. Disappointing purchase. Not what I was hoping for.
