Discover the practical wisdom of generations.

For centuries, Amish families have relied on simple, time-tested practices and the gifts of nature to care for their homes and families. The Amish Medicine Cabinet brings together traditional home remedies, practical preparations, and easy-to-follow guidance in one accessible reference.

Inside you'll discover 182 remedies organized by common health concerns, 20 essential recipes with step-by-step instructions, a quick-look index to help you find what you need, warning signs that indicate when professional care may be appropriate, guidance on what not to use, and information about plants traditionally used in Amish communities.

Topics include colds, coughs and flu; digestive problems; skin and wounds; pain and inflammation; sleep, stress and fatigue; mouth, ears and teeth; women's health; children and the elderly; plants and herbs; and more.

Rooted in simplicity, practicality, and traditional wisdom, this book is designed to be a useful addition to the family bookshelf.

Nature provides what is necessary. Wisdom teaches us to use it with prudence. Faith gives strength for each day.
