1001 easy recipes using natural ingredients for health, beauty, your home and your pets. Click to Tweet

When I was growing up my Grandparents had a book on their shelf filled with home remedies and I used to spend a lot of time browsing through it. Most of the remedies included in their book were remedies they had used throughout their lives; remedies which had been passed down from generation to generation. When I had the opportunity to select books from DK Canada to review for the New Year I was pleased to find 1001 Natural Remedies.

Power Up 2017

1001 Natural Remedies

Obviously this book does not replace traditional medicine, or professional medical care but it does offer us options for helping us find some relief for less serious ailments without the addition of harmful chemicals. You will find natural recipes for cough medicine and herbal tea recipes to help with headaches. There are many practical recipes included to help us manage discomfort, or pain we might experience on a daily basis.

The book is broken down into sections:

  • Natural Health Remedies
  • Natural Beauty
  • Natural House & Garden
  • Natural Pet Care

Natural Health Remedies

The Natural Health Remedies section begins by outlining the types of Natural Medicines and specifically indicates when you should still see a Medical Doctor for assessment and treatment AND indicates that pregnant or nursing mothers or women trying to get pregnant should not take any herbal medicines without speaking with their Medical Doctor first. It also explains how you determine dosages for children and when to take herbal remedies. Herbal remedies come in three forms: teas (infusions), capsules and extracts (tinctures).

In the Natural Health Remedies section the have remedies for many different conditions.

Here are some of the remedies you will find:

Remedies for each room in the house are included – from clearing drains and removing sediment from teakettles, to cleaning grout.

Cleaning Surfaces - 1001 Natural Remedies DK Canada Book Review

I also love the natural garden remedies – especially the non toxic pest control and the recipe for natural insect repellent!!

Natural Pet Care Section

This sections has separate options for both dogs and cats, as well as, how to treat bites and stings, skin burns, abscesses, fleas, ticks, ear mites, digestive upset, urinary tract infections, arthritis and kennel cough.

As a resource, 1001 Natural Remedies includes a lot of helpful information to make recipes at home with natural ingredients. Even if you are under a Doctor’s care for medical conditions (as I am) there are still many fantastic remedies you can safely use from this book. I personally want to try a number of the recipes for Natural Beauty and
Natural House & Garden. The natural cough medicine is another one I am going to try on my family (shhh!).

  1. WOW…This is like one-stop shopping! It has everything. While I always look for natural-based recipes to cure the outside and inside cleaning, I’ve never tried any natural remedies for personal use….just never think about it. This book would be an asset to have.

  2. Great information in this book! I personally like being able to try other ideas for healing.

  3. What a great Book!! Love the natural remedies for so many issues! Thank you for reviewing this book…definitely gotta have! 🙂

  4. I grew up with both my other and Grandmother making our own home remedies and beauty products. This book will make a wonderful gift for my daughter in addition to the hand written recipes that were written by my mom and grandma.
