A Complete Review of 'The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies'

The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies by Dr. Nicole Apelian and Claude Davis recently popped up in my feed. Its subtitle, 'The Healing Power of Plant Medicine,' caught my eye, but at almost $40, The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies isn't exactly cheap.

So, I decided to give it a shot to see if it's really worth it, and to my surprise, here's what I found out...

The First Peek into 'The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies'

My first impression upon receiving The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies was how well it was put together; it felt heavier than other books its size. This is going to look great on my shelf!

I was blown away as soon as I started flipping through the pages. I couldn't believe it! This was exactly what I'd been searching for.

I'm somewhat new to the world of herbalism, but after a recent health issue, I thought I'd try a more natural approach to healing. And now, I'm convinced that our ancestors had it right all along. Through their plant wisdom, they were able to manage the common ailments we all struggle with.

Right away, I realized how much detail went into every plant featured in The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies. And there are over 181 plants, mushrooms, and lichens, all native to North America, to choose from. Each one has 2 to 4 high-quality color pictures and clear identification instructions. It even tells you when and how to harvest the plant.

What's Inside This Book?

The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies is not just about how to identify the medicinal plants growing around you but also how to turn them into powerful remedies.

The super helpful index in the back of the book lets you search by plant name or the condition you want to attend to. Each plant features recipes you can easily make at home, even if you're a beginner like me. Everything from infusions to extracts, salves, and teas is right here in this book. There are actually over 550 remedies, all handpicked by Dr. Apelian herself.

One of my favorites is on page 144. It's a potent pain tincture made of a weed called Wild Lettuce. The funny thing is I found this plant growing near my driveway. It was there the whole time, and I had never known it.

Another one I found to be very effective is on page 273. It's a double extraction made from a lichen with powerful natural anti-bacterial properties.

For those with autoimmune issues, check out page 43. There, you'll discover the exact herbal protocol Dr. Apelian uses to manage her MS symptoms.
