Home Remedies Express: Know How to Cure the Most Common Health Issues Using Natural Home Remedies

In “Home Remedies Express: Know How to Cure the Most Common Health Issues Using Natural Home Remedies” author Katherine Kelley presents illness and ailment as a part of life, and home remedies as a cure. Kelley later goes on to explain that, sometimes, not only is some sort of mediation needed by healthcare professionals but also that the sooner home remedies are applied, the better they tend to work; a wise disclaimer. Explanation of what constitutes a home remedy is provided, and this explanation leads to an idea of something similar to, but a little different from natural or homeopathic cures. Practical information that will get readers on their way to identifying ailments, and how to obtain the resources for the home remedies that will cure these ailments, are provided in the opening chapters, and Kelley also gets into best practices. Best practices that include common sense tips like making sure to wash any produce you may purchase to aid in curing something like diarrhea, as well as practical advice on things like preparing yourself to use home remedies by knowing the cures for illnesses you might suffer from often so you’re ready for their return. Further along, the author provides information on, and opens up the idea of, things like integrating home remedies with modern medicine and ways to tackle ailments related to the outdoors when you’re stuck outdoors; on a camping trip for instance. This book is not only informative, but engaging in the way that it is easy to relate to; bringing up occurrences likely to be familiar to readers, such as being told that your grandmother used to do a particular thing to cure a particular illness. Kelley even calls upon popular culture references in the form of mentioning commercials from now as well as decades ago in the 80s that we’ve likely all seen, many times. Not just telling, but teaching readers about how to use home remedies in their everyday life is certainly a goal here, and with exercises provided to help readers to commit to memory the cures they’ll likely need to know, this is far from a passive read. There are no real negatives to speak of. I did catch a typo, in the form of a letters missing from a word that resulted in “showering” becoming “showing”, but that could happen to anyone and things like that do happen all the time. Every now and then, something slips through the cracks in editing. I would highly recommend this book to someone interested in the subject matter; no matter if they’ve read similar content before or are just beginning to show an interest in naturalistic approaches to health. With lists of common ailments, symptoms, and causes that can be addressed with home remedies as well as a useful shopping list and links to further reading in the Kindle edition, this could become a manual that you as a reader consult time and time again.
