Plants , Essential Oils and Aromatherapy as Natural Remedies "Trust your intuition, go with your instincts, and listen to your heart. By following these three simple guidelines, you'll be able to craft healing, and more importantly, meaningful and inspired ideas to enrich your life." ―Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook The Herbal Healing Handbook is a spiritual guidebook for using plants, essential oils, aromatherapy, and other natural elements to treat ailments and help prevent illness. Heal the natural way. In her latest work, bestselling author Cerridwen Greenleaf shares the healing power of plants, roots, herbs, essential oils, aromatherapy, and all things natural remedies. If you are tired of automatically turning to chemical treatments, or just want to have more plant-based care options, The Herbal Healing Handbook is the book for you. Draw upon ancient knowledge. While health care debates rage all around us, one way to take good care of yourself and your loved ones is with the "kitchen cabinet cures" in this book. When our great grandmothers needed to attend to the cuts, bruises, colds, flu's fevers and other illnesses their family suffered, they didn't have a corner drugstore. Instead, these wise women relied on simple wisdom, common sense, and pantries well stocked with herbal remedies. These preparations were made from plants that grew in the kitchen garden or wild weeds gathered outside. The Herbal Healing Handbook combines the wisdom of our elders with a modern kitchen herbalist's sensibility.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
While this book serves as an inviting entry point for beginners eager to explore aromatherapy and herbalism, it may disappoint those seeking rigorous scientific data or complex alchemical theory. The text prioritizes spiritual connection and accessible remedies over clinical precision, which might feel too simplistic for experienced medical professionals or hardline skeptics. However, for readers comfortable with esoteric frameworks, it provides a warm, practical guide to using essential oils and plants for holistic health. It is not suitable for those demanding peer-reviewed efficacy studies or those who view natural medicine through a strictly secular, biochemical lens without spiritual component.
