Synopsis: The trusted guide that transforms herbal knowledge into real medicine--250 safe and effective remedies you can make at home. The essential guide to making herbal medicine that works--because method matters. You've tried the teas. Tinkered with tinctures. Flipped through gorgeous herb books that left you wondering: Why don't my remedies work? Here's the truth: How you make plant medicine is just as important as what you use. The Modern Herbal Dispensatory reveals what clinical herbalists know--the techniques and preparations that unlock each herb's full healing power. With 250 proven remedies and clear step-by-step instructions, it turns your kitchen into a real herbal pharmacy. Inside You'll Learn:
- 250 Proven Remedies for Real Results: Fire Cider that clears sinuses fast, Elderberry Syrup for immune support, Garlic-Mullein Oil for earaches, and more

- Every Form, Every Function Covers the full spectrum--from teas and tinctures to oils, lozenges, extracts, and advanced preparations
- Designed for Real Use: Includes full-color photo guides, sourcing tips, multiple appendices, and a complete index for quick reference What Makes This Book Different: Most herb books tell you what plants do.
