Forgotten Home Apothecary: 250 Powerful Remedies at Your Fingertips Paperback

Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $19.99.

Forgotten Home Apothecary is the only complete herbal medicine book that covers the most important remedies that used to be made by our grandparents back when apothecaries hadn’t been replaced by pharmacies.

It lays the strongest foundation for someone who wants to recover all that forgotten knowledge. Unlike others, this book is very easy to use!

The first thing you’ll see when you open the book is your new Apothecary. Here you’ll find all the 250 remedies, organized on shelves by specific ailments.

Each page of the appendix displays the remedies found inside the book, and the page you’re going to find it. There, you will find step-by-step instructions, color pictures, measurements and dosages.

Forgotten Home Apothecary is edited by Dr. Nicole Apelian, a wilderness expert and herbalist who survived for 57 days on the History Channel’s TV show Alone on the remote Vancouver Island despite her autoimmune disease (MS).

Nicole Apelian, Ph.D. is an herbalist, author, wilderness skills instructor, TV & Film survival consultant, on-screen TV personality, anthropologist, and biologist. She spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills toward her own personal wellness. She focuses on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Through changes in her lifestyle, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her own herbal remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving. She has helped thousands of people treat themselves naturally by following her holistic wellness protocol, including the use of medicinal mushrooms. In 2015 she was among the first women ever selected for the History Channel’s hit TV show “Alone”. Despite having Multiple Sclerosis, she went on to survive solo for 57 days straight in a remote area of Vancouver Island with little more than her hunting knife and the wild foods and medicines she found there. You can learn more about Nicole Apelian on her website, including what she does daily for MS, and about her online herbal apothecary.

It’s a solid, no-nonsense guide. Nothing fancy, just practical ideas you can actually use. I think it’s a book I’ll keep around for a long time.

I’ve been using this book for about a month, and it’s already helped me with a couple of small things. The sore throat remedies worked great, and I like that it gives you more than one option.

The remedies are simple and don’t call for hard-to-find items, which I really appreciate. It makes the whole idea of home remedies feel more doable and less intimidating.

This isn’t a book you read cover to cover, but more of a reference guide. I’ve marked several pages already. It feels like something my grandmother would have had in her kitchen.

So far, I’ve found it useful. I keep it near my recipe books, and when something comes up—like a headache or a bit of indigestion—I flip through it. I like having a natural option to try before grabbing medicine.

It’s written in a very approachable style. I’ve picked up a few other herbals before, but they felt too technical. This one feels like it’s meant for regular people who just want some simple, safe home remedies.

I appreciate how the book covers everyday problems, not just rare or complicated ones. I’ve used the suggestions for colds and minor stomach issues, and they were easy to follow with ingredients I already had at home.

This has been a nice addition to my shelf. I like natural remedies, but I’m not an expert. The book breaks things down in a way that makes sense and gives you confidence to try things without feeling lost.

What I liked most is how straightforward the explanations are. It doesn’t feel overwhelming, even though there are so many remedies listed. It’s more like a handy guide you keep in the kitchen than a textbook.

This book feels very practical. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the layout makes it easy to find remedies quickly. I’ve already tried a couple of the herbal teas for sleep, and they worked better than I expected.
