Self-sufficient steps to take your family’s health into your own hands, naturally!

Want to grow herbs and give your family an enormous health head-start, but you don’t know how to begin? Looking for a cost-effective way to proactively promote health and wellness naturally, without relying on the pharmacy? Then learn to grow your own medicine in five easy steps. Your health and wellness journey begins here-with you and your garden.

Our health should not depend on trips to the pharmacy and expensive drugs with crippling side effects. Science now tells us we don’t have to. How many times have you or a family member become sick and you haven’t had a solution at hand? Are you prepared to treat your family’s first aid situations? Do you wonder how you can proactively treat illnesses–all at a fraction of the cost (and side effects) from the pharmacy?

In this easy-to-follow audiobook, you will learn simple steps to grow and harvest 65 herbs, and easy-to-create herbal remedies for everything from first aid needs to common illness solutions. Here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • Sixty-five herbs, spices, flowers, and seeds that can boost your health, reduce the symptoms of chronic conditions and prevent many other diseases.
  • Tips on how to treat common family illnesses & first aid treatments.
  • Five simple steps to create your herb garden in any size space with easy-to-follow guides on everything from healthy soil to harvesting your herbs.
  • Eleven ways to turn your herbs into healing remedies with zero experience and zero spending.
  • Ten recipes for cooking, tinctures, syrups and infusions to jump-start your herbal creativity and add to your homegrown pharmacy.

And much more.

You don’t need to be an avid gardener to grow a herb garden. If you have no idea what a tincture or salve is, you can still learn how to grow herbs and turn them into proven remedies.

Comprehensive Guide

I recently finished reading a book about herbs and found it to be comprehensive and enjoyable. The table of contents proved to be particularly useful as it helped me identify which herbs to use for specific conditions. I was impressed with the author's vast knowledge and ability to explain things clearly. The book was an excellent resource for treating health problems by symptom and even provided guidance on how to make herbal remedies like salves and tinctures. I am grateful for having discovered this useful source of information.

Very Informative

The author is competent and the book is beautifully written. With a table of contents highlighting the best herbs for each ailment, it's a thorough and enjoyable read. To fill this book with authoritative material, the author has studied herbs and plants. Anyone who is a natural scientist and looking for an alternative to the pharmaceutical industry should think about it.
