Natural Remedies Encyclopedia

I can't say enough about this new book I got. After joining two other girlfriends of mine on a trip to our state home school convention, I came home with this Natural Remedies Encyclopedia. What an incredible book!!

My advice to you─GET ONE! You'll love it. Here are two of my own personal stories on using this book (and I've only had it for four days!):

Before I bought this book, I used a remedy that's already in it without knowing it. My husband and I went to Bible study on the Wednesday night before the convention. After dinner, and halfway through the study, my daughter came up with tears in her eyes. She was holding her ear and shaking from pain. We didn't want to have to leave the study early, but she seemed in terrible discomfort. We tried using a wet paper towel to help with the pain, but it wasn't working, so my husband took her home. After talking with a friend, I called a lady in our church body who was said to have a "home remedy" for ear aches and infections. I asked her if I could come by and borrow it. She said, "No, no. You can make it yourself!" Wow. Okay. I took down the recipe over the phone, went home, made it up, and it worked! The next morning, she was as good as new. I left for the convention that morning telling my husband, "If you need to give it to her again, here's how you make it." He didn't need to. She was fine! No need for antibiotics and long Dr. visits.

Last night, this same daughter of ours was coughing incessantly after she went to bed. My husband and I were watching Chariots of Fire and could hear her over the loud music. (I'm deaf, and I could hear her!) She seems to have either some kind of cold bug or spring allergies. After listening for a few minutes, we finally decided to get up and see about her cough. My husband rummaged through the cupboard for the "normal" medicines and came out with some Vick's. Nah, let's try something different this time, I thought. He laughed as I pulled out the book. "I knew you were gonna do that", he said. I looked in the book and found the cough section. A whole list of options! I picked the one that seemed the easiest given the things we had in our house at the time─a warm wrap with cayenne pepper in it. Buy the book and check it out. It works. After replacing the wrap several times (which of course takes more time than just rubbing the Vick's on and going back to our movie) she stopped coughing. It had almost instant results. No meds involved. We also used our humidifier to do a Eucalyptus vapor. She slept through the whole thing and woke up looking so rested this morning. What a difference!

These are just two of the stories I could tell!

Like my friend, I'm not trying to sell you something. I'm trying to share something with you that may change the way you take care of your self and your family. I've used it about 10 times already and found it to be very thorough and indescribably effective. It's worth the money. Think of it as a down-payment on your insurance copay for visiting the Dr.─except you won't go as often anymore. If you do get this book, or you already own one, share your story in the comments. I'd love to know how it's helped you!! And it may help someone else, too.


I'll leave you with my friend's Amazon customer review, which can also be read on their website here:

I am so glad I bought this. It is a very complete, 900 page one-volume encyclopedia of 11,000 natural drugless remedies. It covers 730 diseases-helping your family for a lifetime for the cost of one doctor visit! A whole section talking about nutritional principles, the 8 laws of health,- vitamins, minerals, enzymes, special foods and other nutrients-126 most important herbs-poultices-essential oils-complete water therapy manual-special women's section-great indexes! I do not like my children being on medicine and I came home from the homeschool convention where I bought this to my daughter being sick. We treated her for the ear infection and fever naturally-the next morning her ear ache was gone and fever broke. Now we're flushing her system according to the common cold section! I've always wanted to do this, but didn't know how! After every sickness cause and remedy there is a great biblical encouragement section to encourage those that don't have that-God is our provider and our strength and gives us all we need to keep our bodies healthy! My two girlfriends also bought one and I'm recommending it to all I know for a great all in one resource!  ~K. C.~
