Beginner Herbalism, Made Easy
F.A.Q.
What Makes Beginner Herbalism Made Easy Unique?
Unlike many herbal books that simply list plants and remedies, this guide focuses on practical, everyday use of herbs you already know. You’ll learn how to transform common ingredients like honey, garlic, lemon, or rosemary into powerful natural medicines—all explained in clear, beginner-friendly language.
Do I Need Special Equipment?
Not at all! Most remedies in the book can be prepared with basic kitchen tools—a pot, spoon, jar, or strainer. The goal is to keep everything simple and accessible, so you can start right away without extra costs.
How Soon Will I Notice Results?
Herbs are not a replacement for pharmaceuticals. Herbalism is a different mentality entirely and is not about simply finding a band-aid for symptoms but, instead, engaging you in your health in a whole new way. Your health is made up of ALL of the areas of your life including your relationships, movement, food, work, joy, and beyond. Working with herbs is a practice that helps you engage with many areas of your health, and helps you listen to your body, connect with the earth, treat yourself with kindness, and activate creativity. You may find that your health improves from these simple changes alone. The healing properties of the herbs is an additional bonus.
Every single person and body is different. There is absolutely no way I can guarantee an outcome or healing for you by making a blanket statement on a sales page. What I can say is that if you are feeling called to explore herbs as a way of improving your health, then you're in the right place. Trust that calling. There are many avenues in which herbalism can support you in thriving in your health. That's one reason why I love herbalism so much.
Is This Book Good for Beginners?
Yes! The book is written with step-by-step guidance and easy-to-follow instructions, making it perfect for complete beginners as well as those with more herbal experience. You’ll quickly gain confidence in preparing your own remedies at home.
Does the Book Cover Common Health Concerns?
Absolutely. You’ll find natural remedies for allergies, anxiety, beauty, circulation, cold and immune system, cough and sore throat, digestion, energy and vitality, hair and scalp, nausea, pain, postpartum, respiratory and sinus, skin, sleep, sore muscles, and women's health — all based on everyday herbs that you can find at your local grocery store.
Can I Use These Remedies Alongside Regular Medicine?
In many cases, yes. Herbal remedies can complement conventional treatments. However, it’s always best to check with your healthcare provider before combining them with prescription medication or ongoing therapies.
