Product Description
Professional herbalist, Shonda Parker, teaches mothers what can be safely treated at home, how to treat with nutritional and botanical medicine, and when to seek professional help. Traditional medicine has given us shots, pills, and expensive treatments. Shonda provides moms with homegrown remedies that are easily available, inexpensive, and that work wonders! PAs a revival of interest in natural health care occurs, this book is designed to provide a continuing education class for mothers as family health practioners. Mothers observe, evaluate, and even medicate their children on a daily basis. By nature, mothers become family health practioners, but seek other opinions when appropriate. This book will equip any mother to address her family's day-to-day health needs with confidence and is critical for every mother who is focused on raising healthy kids.

4 out of 5 stars I love this as a reference book.   November 11, 2008
I enjoy this book. I have not read the entire thing cover to cover, but instead keep it on my bedside bookshelf as a reference. Whenever my child has an illness, injury, or anything else, I pull the book, find the situation I am going through, and read the available options for home remedies, treatments, and general knowledge on the subject at hand. I find the book to be easy to use, and overall very helpful. I think I will use it more as my children are older and I can apply many of the things inside to our entire family. It is really just good advice and knowledge, and reminds me of things that my great grandma might have told me, was she able to be here with me today. There are recommendations for herbal remedies- and directions for making your own herbal tinctures, teas, and medicines. These can be applied whether you intend to gather and dry your own herbs (which I do not) or purchase them (which I do on occasion) but it is also just good advice for using home items to treat illness. I look forward to getting more use from this in future years.


5 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Book   July 24, 2008
My friend recommended this book when I found out I had thyroid issues and wanted to look into alternatives. I like that it is a gentle appraoch to herbs and natural remedies for the whole family.


2 out of 5 stars not so useful   May 27, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

there are lots of recipes for herbs, but as a beginner, I found the book unhelpful. Not what I had in mind at all.


5 out of 5 stars more than chicken soup   August 21, 2007
Even though my daughter has never been sick I have used the information in this book to help keep her well when all of the children around her did get sick. And it's not just for children I have used this book for my husband when he was ill. This book was recemmended to me by a mom of four and I have recommended it to many of my friends.


5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!   July 28, 2007
I have referenced this book on several occasions while dealing with my children's illnesses. This book has kept me from making some serious mistakes with my children, and it has also kept me from putting my children on an endless round of antibiotics for minor things. I have used her wisdom to treat my children on various occasions, and would recommend this book as a household reference for anyone desiring the best for your family.
