"Back to Basics: Lost in the Herbal Wilderness" is an informative resource for people like me who prefer to use herbal remedies. I find this book particularly interesting because of the range of natural products it presents, explaining in detail, offering up to 10 individual benefits, their uses in promoting good health.

I was particularly impacted by range of herbs that I have in the home, but not knowing their uses... until now. I have had rosemary in my garden for years and all I used it for was for its wonderful aroma. I will never look at rosemary, or indeed parsley, oregano, mint, thyme, vanilla, tumeric or peppers, in the same way from now on. I feel empowered by this book!

The book is written in an accessible style that makes it easy for beginners to understand and follow. I am particularly pleased to have found this book and added it to my arsenal. It is my go-to resource in my pursuit of optimum health.

This is not the first book of this author's that I have listened to and I continue to enjoy the information being shared. I have been looking for ways to improve my family's health with a more natural approach. We seem to easily fall ill and each of us has our ailments that we battle I would love to help teach my kids a more natural way to help ourselves outside of doctors. The book is laid out in a way that each herb is listed out per chapter and then the author explains the various ways the herb can help us. Like learning how ginger helps our digestion so adding some ginger into your tea or your meal can significantly reduce the amount of digestion issues you have. Also, cayenne pepper has many benefits such as boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. My husband suffers from severe back pain and arthritis so we have already started adding cayenne pepper in with some meals and he has noticed a difference in how he feels.

The author gives you various ways of how to incorporate these herbs into your daily lives which took away a lot of the stress for me as I am a terrible cook so something as simple as a dash hear and there to a meal sounds super easy and will have huge payoffs.

This book is a thorough introduction to the world of herbs and spices and how they can enhance your health and well-being, along with the flavor of your cooking with recipes provided. Nature is filled with plants that can be used as tea, or flavor-enhancing ingredients to help you achieve a healthy balance in your daily diet. Learn about the benefits of turmeric which I have used regularly for many years. Learn also about essential oils and compresses, and how to make and use them properly. The delightful aroma of rosemary, mint, or thyme can help in the health of our bodies, as well as make our foods more delicious. There is so much depth in this book and the author's research that I am certain that you can derive benefit from it. There are also wonderful recipes included. I highly recommend this book!

Over the past 15 years or so, my husband and I have gotten in to using food to support our wellness goals. We're pretty knowledgeable in a lot of areas already, but wanted to expand our understanding of herbs and spices we may not use yet. We travel extensively and have the ability to pick up herbs, spices, teas, etc. from all over the world. We didn't want to miss an opportunity, so this audible will be referenced time and again for us to build up our holistic wellness toolbox. Definitely recommend!

I've had rosemary in my garden for years and never knew how useful it could be beyond just smelling nice.

It's definitely become my go-to guide for natural remedies. Highly recommend!
