With this book, you'll have a 250-remedy apothecary at your fingertips. These powerful, time-tested formulas were once the cornerstone of traditional apothecaries. It's sad that many of the remedies that could have helped millions of people have vanished along with them. Unlike others, this book is very easy to use! You just go to the beginning of the book, search for the shelf you're looking for, and check the recipe on that shelf. Let's say you have a sore throat that you want to manage. You go to the Respiratory Shelf... and look for some recipes that will help with that. The Amish Cough-Busting Syrup sounds like a good idea! As you can see, the entire process is very simple and practical. Unlike most remedy books that show general information, this one goes straight to the point.
