This book is a must-read for any herbalist enthusiast, or anyone who has a slight interest in alternative medicine. I was astonished at the vast amount of invaluable information I found in the pages of COMMONS HERBS FOR NATURAL HEALTH (Herbals of Our Foremothers) by Juliette de Bairacli Levy. Juliette de Bairacli utilizes her Gypsy wisdom and decades of studying herbs and healing to create a book filled with natural remedies and recipes. Her intelligent and tender approach has become a vital inspiration for the present-day herbal renaissance. To this day, I still use herbs in the treatment of many minor health problems from colds, sore throats, insect bites, minor infections, headaches and symptoms of menopause.I don't remember any of it, except now maybe I will because I have a garden and I'm growing some of the herbs. When her Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable was published in 1951, it was the first veterinary herbal ever to be published as before this time, the art of farriers, gypsies and peasants had been passed on only by the spoken word. Start by incorporating herbal teas into your routine, experiment with herbal-infused recipes, or create a small herb garden.

Juliette was raised in a household with three sisters and two brothers, a nanny, chauffeur, maid and gardener. Juliette de Bairacli Levy is one of the modern mothers of herbal lore, and this book is about 40 years old, but the time-tested wisdom holds true. The container has a sufficiently large capacity so one filling can perfume the house for quite a long time. This powerful practicality drawn from her ethnic origins serves as a beacon for those seeking a holistic approach to natural health.Anyway I come back to it again and again for reasons that are more literary or spiritual than herbal. When many Afghan hound puppies were dying of distemper, Juliette raised a litter of puppies on her natural rearing methods and these puppies won Best of Show at Crufts Dog Show. So she left university after two years and went to study with the Gypsies and peasants of the world. In the 1940's, while travelling in America, Spain, France, North Africa and Turkey, Juliette gathered herbal remedies from the nomadic and peasant peoples of these lands.
