The 47 Simple Herbal Remedies Ebook

What a wonderful day! It's early summer and not a single cloud in the sky. You climb over a log that has fallen across the trail and wait for your 10 year old son to catch up.

A quick, upward glance at the sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees signals that it's about time to head back to camp. The crisp, pungent smell of the forest floor reminds you how much you needed this family vacation.

You can almost smell the trout that you and Billy caught early this morning frying in the pan over the open fire. Just as your stomach begins to rumble in anticipation, you hear a scream.

Your head snaps around and you can see Billy just a few yards down the trail, his arms flapping wildly around his head. Back over the log you jump, and running reach him in just seconds.

Billy has upset one very angry wasp. Whipping off your cap, you swat it away and while it's stunned lying on the ground you send the nasty critter off to meet his insect brothers in the great beyond.

Quick examination shows that Billy has been bitten repeatedly by the wasp and is in some serious pain. No medicine cabinet and no drugstore for miles. Your emergency medical kit is back at camp.

Eyes darting around the ground near the trail, you spot just what you need. Grabbing a handful of leaves from what looks like a weed, you toss a few in your mouth and chew them quickly. You apply the poultice to the red welts appearing on Billy's arms and face.

Almost as quickly as his screams began, Billy stops crying. Wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, he manages a crooked grin and a sheepish, "thanks Dad."

Disaster averted.

As you and Billy begin the hike back to camp, you remember that book you purchased online about herbal remedies and acknowledge it was money well spent!

If you enjoy the outdoors and all the fun and memories that go along with spending time with Mother Nature, chances are you may have had a similar situation once or twice.

There are thousands of plants that can treat just as many ailments. In this particular case, Billy won't even require and medical attention and by the time the family vacation comes to an end, so will the memory of this incident.

What is so amazing about herbal remedies is their close association to our modern medicines. Most of our current "wonder drugs" have a botanical connection.

Sadly, many of those medicines contain much more than simple botanicals. Stuffed with chemicals, allergens and who knows what else, we are fast becoming a medicated society.

We've got pills to make us sleep, pills to wake us up, pills to make us eat and pills to curb the appetite. It's absolutely crazy. Whatever ails you there's a pill to take care of it.

Do you know what Dad used to stop the pain for Billy? Are you aware it's a simple plant that you probably know very well? In fact, you probably dig them out of the cracks in your driveway every couple of weeks during the growing season. It's called "Plantain."

INTRODUCTION

In recent years the issue of Alternative Healing has skyrocketed to the forefront of the medical field. A 2004 government survey concluded that more than one third of adults use alternative medicine and healing.
One facet of this burgeoning interest is Herbal Medicine. While it may seem "trendy" to some, Herbal Medicine has been around for thousands of years. In fact, many of the familiar pharmaceutical medications we use today were originally created from "natural" ingredients. Drugs like opium
(from poppies), aspirin (from willow bark), digitalis (from foxglove) and quinine (from the cinchona tree.) Interestingly, the synthetic version of "aspirin" is credited with the beginning of the pharmaceutical industry.
A chemist working for the Friedrich Bayer Company in Germany created the synthetic. The company registered the term "aspirin" as a trademark but Bayer lost the patent rights when the Allies seized and resold its foreign assets after World War I.
The right to use the term "aspirin" in the United States was purchased by Sterling Drug in 1918. But even before the patent expired in 1917, Bayer had been unable to prevent their formula from being copied. Hence, the term "aspirin" has been a generic term in the U.S. ever since.
It would be impossible to cover this topic adequately in one volume.
What we will endeavor to do with this ebook is provide you with an overview of herbal remedies and subsequently give you an in-depth look at 47 simple herbal remedies to common, everyday ailments.
