Professional help and support is needed on occasions, but with knowledge and confidence many difficulties can be overcome and this book will help the reader gain confidence about children’s health.

Every home needs a garden and a first aid cabinet, the two go hand in hand. However, sensible foraging can help too, which is how our ancestors survived and thrived along with sharing information and seeking out those that knew.

Rosemary may be in America, but her ways are ours, and here she shares easy to make and follow safe recipes and remedies that help us avoid harsh synthetic chemicals.

Babies and children need our care and expertise to show love and understanding of their needs. In the dedication at the front cover, it says “Life is not forever, Love is.”

The home can exude that by simply having nature’s first aid cabinet to hand. As children have different tastes to adults, suggestions are made throughout, as to how to encourage and make remedies more acceptable.

Rosemary includes recipes and remedies to inspire the reader into a world where health matters as does prevention and supporting immunity. How to make flower essences, poultices, syrups, ointments, herbal baths, powders etc and treating common ailments along with suitable herbs to choose and why are all included.

This is a handbook for the home, to take away the fear of the unknown by becoming a home herbalist that is in tune with nature.
