Ancient Remedies: Secrets to Healing with Herbs, Essential Oils, CBD, and the Most Powerful Natural Medicine in History

Awesome information about getting and staying healthy, without Big Pharma steering in the wrong direction!

This is an excellent book. I'm interested in all of the things that Dr. Axe discusses in this book. This book has a wealth of information on subjects that relate to health. After reading the book, I decided to visit an acupuncturist for the first time in my life. I had developed a cough that wouldn't go away. I coughed all through the day and most of the nights. I didn't want to take an antibiotic or any pharmaceutical drug because of the side effects. So after coughing for three months, and after reading this book, I got an appointment with a Chinese acupuncture place. I am feeling so much better now. I had six sessions with acupuncture and cupping. I'm also learning about essential oils, and I bought a diffuser, which helps. I have Lavender drops in it now. Dr. Axe recommended for lung problems like I have to take some Eucalyptus essential oil and mix it with a carrier oil, like coconut oil, and rub it on my chest and the back of my neck. This really helps. I'm trying some of the herbs that Dr. Axe recommends in his book, and they are helping, too. I prefer to keep away from pharmaceutical drugs if possible, and I plan on getting some CBD oil when I can find a good store. I had cancer and a bilateral masectomy last fall. I've always been healthy, or so I thought. None of my doctors talked to me about strengthening my immune system, or how to go about doing it. There is so much helpful information in this book about how to strengthen my immune system, and also, information that helps me to understand more about cancer. I really appreciate Dr. Axe taking the time to write this book and make all this information available to the average person. I highly recommend this book.

I just got this book yesterday and started reading it right away. It’s SO GOOD! I began highlighting and underlining because there’s so much essential information in this book. Every page is chalk-full of insight, research, natural remedies for healing all kinds of ailments and diseases, and provides a new way of thinking about health and healing. Such a great resource!

This is such a fascinating book about ancient remedies that have been around for thousands of years. Heavily backed up with research, this book points out so many aspects of our health (not just physical) that I hadn’t considered. For instance, Dr. Axe cites that high levels of optimism increase longevity by 11-15%, then provides daily practices to aid in optimistic thoughts and perspectives. Though this book is non-fiction and about health, it is certainly not dry or boring and I can’t put it down. I’ve opened it up after my morning prayer and Bible time each morning! I so appreciate Dr. Axe for writing this, and though I purchased this book only a month ago, I’ve begun practicing many of his suggestions for various health ailments and already can feel a change in my health. God has surely sent Josh Axe as an amazing healer and I am grateful for him!

I love the information on this book and how it's presented. I've bought multiple hardcovers for gifts after my mother first gifted this book to me. I like to keep books I love in Kindle too, in case I give away my copy I still have one until another arrives. I noticed this evening as I was searching for something on the Kindle version that chapter 12 on is missing. Which I would say is the most important practical part of the book. If you're getting a physical copy no need to worry about this.

The book came yesterday and I've already spent hours flipping through it and reading about many different topics. This is the second book of Dr Axe's that I have bought and it did not disappoint! I love how he discusses how different herbs and foods work. It's not just a "use this item because I said so". He discusses the science behind it in a way that everybody can understand. And he gives the references to different studies. I really really debated about buying this book. But I'm so glad I did. I think it's a great resource to have on hand. It's not advertised on the cover, but he has recipes in the back for different topics too!

I wanted to leave an honest review of Dr. Axe’s book Ancient Remedies. I am a board certified nurse practitioner and when I am treating my patients I like to give them non-pharmacological options for treating their conditions to limit exposure to pharmaceuticals when possible. I found this book to be a convenient and helpful guide to giving complementary and alternative treatments in a very simple easy to reference format. One of my favorites ancient prescriptions is for acid reflux which such a common condition with rampant overuse of PPIs. I love to give my patients options like ginger, fennel, probiotics, and apple cider vinegar which has helped some of my patients wean off their Omeprazole. As you can see all the little tabs here are where I have marked my favorite recipes and ancient prescriptions. I recommend this book to my fellow practitioners all the time and it’s definitely a great book to have in your house and couldn’t recommend it more.

Love this book, great information. Educate yourself before you medicate .

Love this book! It’s very informative with easy to follow remedies and great illustrations

Excellent. I go back to this book over and over again. Dr Axe is able to explain medical things in layman’s terms and gives you the tools to make wise decisions about your health. I like that you can look up your condition (ex: GERD, PCOS etc) and find a “prescription” of foods to avoid, foods to eat, life style habits, supplements, oils that help heal. It also has some great healthy, whole food recipes in the back.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!!! I am only half way through and what I’ve read so far is just so enlightening and truly amazing. I am a great believer in using food as medicine (I am in remission from bowel cancer). It’s well laid out, easy to read and just full of so much knowledge. It teaches you that you don’t need to reach for a pill every time you have an ailment, or go to the doctor. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the basis upon which this book is written. I would recommend everyone to read this book, and I have recommended it already to several friends. You will come away with so much knowledge.

Well worth the money

Awesome book to have at your finger tips
