Guest Post Written by Michele of Frugal Granola
Have you been inspired by this “Month of Natural Home Remedies & Illness Prevention” on Keeper of the Home? I love the wealth of wisdom all the writers have contributed, to assist us in blessing our families!
If you are wondering where to start, and how to incorporate natural remedies into your homemaking routines, I would love to invite you into my kitchen with a glimpse into my new book, “Herbal Nurturing: A Family Healing & Learning Guide:”
“Slippery Elm. Tea Tree. Lavender. Rose Hips. Peppermint. Chamomile.
These comforting smells (and more!) surround our family on a daily basis, as we nurture wellness in everyday life. Many of our favorite herbal remedies come fresh from our garden or the surrounding wilderness of our rural home.
I would love to invite you into my kitchen, to stand at the stove with me, with children underfoot, as we sip herbal tea and mix up the latest “brew” for our families and friends. It is my hope that this book will serve as a “friend along the journey” toward wellness, and assist you in equipping your family for life-long learning.
As we prepare and administer natural remedies, our family savors the opportunity to participate in the miracle of God’s healing. God designed plants to miraculously use nutrients in soil, sun, and water to produce healing properties for our bodies. What a blessing!
We strive to honor our Creator in our stewardship of this incredible blessing, as we seasonally plant, harvest, store, and partake. Herbal remedies can be a natural and affordable option in the midst of a society filled with expensive, chemical-filled “medicalized” treatments.
In your pursuit of wellness, I urge you to always seek the root of any issue; don’t merely try to treat symptoms without ascertaining the cause. Strive for holistic wellness, with a strong foundation of nourishing real foods (make sure to rule out food allergies/sensitivities!), rest, fresh air, exercise, prayer/worship, chiropractic maintenance, and supplements (such as cod liver oil and probiotics).”
As our family has pursued simple living over the years, we have enjoyed blessing our family and friends with the gift of natural remedies. We love sharing the joy of discovering God’s creation, as well as serving others alongside our children.
Whether you are feeling intimidated by preparing herbs for the first time, or just looking for some additional resources to use your existing herbal pantry, the goal of “Herbal Nurturing” is to serve as a resource for equipping you in the basics. You can focus on sharing life with your family, and have a “natural first aid kit” at your fingertips when the need arises.
It is my hope that this book will be a blessing to you as well, in helping your budget, health, and homeschooling!
We are excited to offer three copies of Herbal Nurturing in a giveaway to Keeper of the Home readers!

I would so appreciate this recourse as we look to welcome pumpkin #4 into our family this winter! Striving toward health and balance in the home! Thanks for considering me.
I’d love to win, because I have such good intentions – yet they seem to fall by the wayside. I want to learn these things, but unless it is all contained in one spot, I’m afraid I never will learn it. I know my family would greatly benefit, yet I just don’t seem to have the time to do the research. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Wow! I would love to win this book! Home remedies are more frugal and often more effective than run-of-the-mill medicine. And I would much rather take a natural substance like garlic or chamomile than some packaged drug. It would be great to have this book because I like increasing my knowledge in this area, and want to be prepared for all situations.
Thanks for posting about this new eBook on Herbal Nurturing. I enjoy reading Frugal Granola, and now I plan to read your blog as well.
I subscribe to both Keeper of the Home and Frugal Granola via RSS.
I shared about this giveaway through Facebook and through my blog.
I would very much love to add this book to my shelves. I believe it would help me tremendously in my growing interest in all things herbal. My family is trying to convert to a natural lifestyle and herbs are very interesting to me (although, I must say, that I know next to nothing about them). Thank you for the chance to expand my knowledge!
BTW, your blog has been a great help to me; I love it!
I would love to use more herbs and other natural health aids in our home, but need a bit more guidance. This would be perfect!
I would love to learn more about healthy + herbal alternatives for the home! It is my next “baby step” to do so.

I’d love to add this to my repetoire of resources. Thanks for the opportunity.
what a generous offer! what a great opportunity to wrap my head around such a vast subject!
thank you!
I would love to win this book to help my family be healthier. I’ve always been interested in learning about herbs.
I’ve really just started trying to use more natural methods to heal. It is a dream of mine to handle illness without turning to conventional medicine, and nurture the body in the process. I would absolutely love to win this book and start putting it to use.
I am subscribed to both Keeper of the Home and Frugal Granola!
I am so excited about this book!
I would love to have this book for many reasons, the most prominent one being the ability to care naturally for my family’s health. I was on and off antibiotics from the time I was 18 months until I was 8. As you can imagine, it completely through off my system. I believe I have leaky gut syndrom, I know I have major yeast overgrowth and multitudes of food allergies. My desire is to give my children’s bodies a better chance at being healthy and whole than I had and I think this book would really help to accomplish that goal!
I already subscribe to Keeper of the Home and I just subscribed to Frugal Granola!
I would love a guide as to how to get started on more natural cures for my family. This book sounds wonderful.
I already subscribe to Keeper of the Home and subscribed to Frugal Granola as well.
I’d love to win this book because I’ve been wanting to start the journey to natural remedies/herbal healing and I think this could serve as a nice guide.

I would love to win a copy – I haven’t really dabbled in this area before but would love a more natural way to take care of my family’s ailments and I have no idea where to start!
As a busy Mom of 8 boys, we try to eat healthy and treat health needs with diet and home rememdies. Any more info on the subject is always a joy to our family! Thanks for a great site!

I would love to win a copy. I love her godly view of healing, and have been so inspired by your series to start learning more about natural healing. I’ve never been big on using medication because it never seems to work for me, and I hate that it only treats the symptom, not the cause.
I would love to win this book b/c I’m not a fan of medicines and such. But sometimes I feel like I don’t know where to start with herbal remedies. I do some basics that I’ve always known, but would like to have all the resources in one location (like a book) that could be trusted source of information.
I would love to win this! I’ve been reading lots of posts on herbal teas and wellness as I plan my herb garden for next year, but it is very overwhelming! I’d love a book to read and refer to. 🙂
I would love to have a book that looked at herbal remedies as honoring our Creator. I have used some tinctures and teas in the past, but with five young children, it seems like one of those things I usually don’t get around to and then regret it. It sounds like this book would be just what I need.
Thanks
I also subscribe to keeper of the home via rss. Thanks for the wonderful blog posts!
I subscribe to Keeper of the home and now, Frugal Granola.
I’d love to include this book in my personal library. I’ve been studying natural remedies for several years but am just now getting the courage to use it. Too bad our healthy eating means we rarely get sick! 😉
I’ve been reading/subscibed to this blog for months now, and have loved every post. I’m looking forward to the Frugal Granola posts as well (I just signed up!) This book looks like a fantastic read – I fell in love with herbal tea this summer, and have been trying to learn as much as I can about them since. This book with be an excellent help!
Since we are currently battling a cold which has felled 10 out of 12 of our family… I think I really NEED this book. 😉 Do I get extra entries for pity?
I have been using “natural remedies” for the past year, but haven’t delved into herbal research yet. It is a little intimidating! I’d love to have this book for guidance! God bless you for all you share!

I would love to win a copy of herbal nurturing….I always prefer home remedies because they are without side effects if used properly and it would be wonderful to have a book which could guide me in what ingredients to have at hand and how to use them …
This would be a great resource for my new approach to health. I have always been fascinated with herbals and such, but never really tried many remedies. The past year and a half I have suffered from thyroid issues and my doctor has tried every prescription under the sun. Unfortunately I have had bad reactions to most such as gaining more weight, nausea, rashes and the list goes on. I have gone back to a wholesome diet and now am incorporating herbal remedies, but need a little guidance. I am having better reactions to natural remedies. I just recently found Keeper of the home and your site and truly feel blessed with all the information. Thanks so much, Jaime.
Oh forgot to mention, my four girls have had suppressed immunesystems due to overload of antibiotics. I need alternatives to help build them up to get to a state of balance.
Would love to use more herbal remedies day to day! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to win this book. I have been thoroughly enjoying her blog for the last few weeks and would love to have her work teach me more about simplicity and using natural materials to heal and benefit my family.

Count me in-I’d love to learn more.

I would love to have this book to help me and my family learn a more homeopathic way of healing. Thank you for this blog post.
Oo, I would love to win this! I bought several “natural medicine cabinet” supplies last month, but somehow haven’t worked up the courage to actually start making remedies. This book would be just what I need!

I would love to win this book because both my toddler and baby have struggled with severe Eczema and allergies from birth. I have spent 3 years searching for natural remedies that will help them live healthier lives. I have recently been reading about herbs and am excited to learn more!
I subscribe to Keeper of the Home through Google Reader.
I am a new mom and my 4 month old daughter caught a really bad cold 5 days ago. I don’t know what to do: I feel helpless! We went to the doctor, which I’d rather not do if I can find homeopathic ways to help my family instead. I know there are times for medicine, but I would really appreciate this book because I think it would help me learn how to help my family and all my friends with babies and children. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
I believe that God has made available everything man could ever need to keep healthy. I also believe in preventing illnesses as opposed to treating them – though we all know no matter how much you try to prevent it can still happen! And when it does happen, I use herbs. I’ve borrowed every book I could find in the library on this subject, as well as read through every website. I would love to have this book as my own, to keep. It is not in our budget, right now, to buy any books, and I’m tired of renewing library books!
Recently found your blog and LOVE it. Subscribed instantly!! Would love to read/win you ebook.
It would be wonderful to learn about the natural remedies that are available to us from nature. 🙂
I also follow Frugal Granola both on FB and by RSS. And I like Keeper of the Home on FB.

I would be absolutely delighted to win a copy of this book. Our family is new to natural living and we are trying to implement any herbal treatments for our health. I need a good guide to start to help with many of the health problems I have and currently take prescription medications.

I would love a chance to win this book because I am highly interested in home herbal remedies and solutions instead of chemicals and antibiotics.

Thanks!
I would love a copy as we move to a real foods diet including our medicines. Our oldest is 5 and has had heart surgery, it will always be exceedingly important for her to eat a heart healthy diet, and we don’t think that means better living through science! Our youngest has had her share of health issues too, including being in the hospital at 7 weeks old with viral meningitis! All this to say we are learning to take what we eat very seriously as part of our healthier life.

I would love to win this book. As I get older, I am drawn to more natural remedies versus modern medicinal remedies. I prefer to use natural herbs that God has given us to heal our bodies. Our society is becoming more and more toxic as we pad the pockets of pharmaceutical giants. We should first look to what God has given us naturally. I would love to have this resource as I learn to live more naturally. Thanks and Blessings to you!

Am just getting started with this area of a more natural lifestyle… herbal remedies for personal care and well being. I’d love to have this little primer to help me along my way!
I can’t remember anymore how I stumbled onto this blog, but I’m very glad I did.

I would love to win this book because I am new to the world of herbal/natural remedies.

I would love to get this book! I am very interested in making our own natural remedies. I have 7 children–6 who have asthma and all who have seasonal allergies and some with extreme food allergies. I have been using more whole foods in my cooking the last few years, making an herbal tonic or two, making homemade cleaners and using essential oils for headaches and such, but I know there is so much more we could be doing. Thanks for the opportunity!

I am learning more and more about herbs and this would be a great additional resource to my library. I still rely on my herbalist too much and would like to be able to do things on my own and I know this would help.
Thank you for all you do! The reason I would like to win a copy of this book is because our oldest daughter is going to school to become a master herbalist and I would love to be able to gift her with it! Have a wonderful day!

I grow a number of herbs, and try to grow more every year, but I don’t use them nearly as much as I could. I’m sure this book could give me some good ideas to make the most of my herb garden!

I started my herb garden this year and hope to expand and use them both for cooking and healing. As a mother of 5 and grandmother of 7 (and counting) I would love to pass this knowledge on to my family. My 3 year old grandson is sensitive/allergic to so many things that if I can help him deal with them besides using antibiotics it would be a real blessing. I recently subscribed via email to learn more about natural living, which I am…thanks!
I subscribe to both your blog and Frugal Granola.. both wonderful reads!!
I have always loved herbal remedies and using alternatives to western medicine.. I could use a great resource such as Herbal Nurturing to continue this desire to be more holistic!
I’m very interested in home remedies. I like to avoid medication as much as possible as well as staying healthy.
I can always use more information to help in our family’s quest to live a natural, healthy lifestyle. Thanks for the opportunity to gain more knowledge, and thanks for your terrific blog!!
I would love to own this book for myself and our three little ones!

This seems perfect for us. We’re gradually moving towards herbal remedies and am exploring it looking for a way to treat my husband’s TMJ condition. Its been a year now and nothing, not even surgery has worked. I keep telling him that going back to Nature is what will show results, so If I don’t win, being overseas and all, I think I’ll buy it:-)
I would love to have this book, we have some eczema and asthma that I would love to be able to help naturally!

I would love to have this book… and I’m not sure my husband would want to spend the money on it right now. So winning it would be awesome!!

What an excellent book! I had my first baby a year ago and my hubby and I have really been having a lot of conversations about what we want for our home and family (I may be driving force behind these discussions since I’m the one forcing cloth diapers. homemade wipes, baby food, recycling, gardening, glass tupperware and fabric baggies!) BUT as part of those discussions and decisions I’ve been researching more and more into herbal options and alternatives and this looks like a wealth of information!
I love learning about natural helps for my family. I would love to win a free copy of the book.
I am very interesting in learning ways to live a more natural lifestyle. Sometimes when it comes to herbal remedies I just have no idea where to begin! This ebook would be such a wonderful opportunity!

I think that I can learn ALOT from this book.
I am in the process of switching our “medicine” cabinet over to natural remedies and this is one of the last areas of our personal care that isn’t free of chemicals. (still need to figure out which brand of make-up to buy!). Anyway, this would be a great resource for me to make that transition. I already subscribe to Frugal Granola and really like Michelle’s blog. I would love to win!
