Extremely educational 

This book is fantastic. I had no idea all the benefits in different herbs. I love how the author broke down medicinal benefits, how to use the herb & how to cook with the herb. Also going through each individual type was extremely educational. I will be buying the paperback version so that I can reference it.

Excellent Listen!

Author Peter Last, a health coach and publisher, did an excellent job demystifying the enchanting world of natural herbs and spices in his audiobook, "Back To Basics: Lost in the Herbal Wilderness". This book is a great beginner's guide to traditional healing and medicinal cooking. I had no idea about the health benefits and medicinal qualities of so many items that you can find right in your pantry!

What caught my attention right away about this book is that the narrator, Shania Lynn, is a registered nurse! This adds a sense of validation to the facts being read. My favorite chapter was the one about cinnamon. Did you know cinnamon aids in regulating blood sugar control, is an excellent antioxidant as well as an anti-inflammatory? This book taught me that you can easily sprinkle some cinnamon on oatmeal or smoothies, brew a cinnamon stick in hot water, or add some to a yummy curry.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to embark on a holistic journey!

And if you're new to the natural healing scene, this guide is laid-back and easy to follow - perfect for anyone starting out and looking to incorporate more natural elements into their daily life.
