I don’t remember who/how I found out about this author and her book, but it truly is a must have. I’ve been practicing herbalism for years and if you are looking for BETTER natural alternatives than over the counter /prescription for ailments this truly is your book. FIRST, the title is on point. A common sense guide to herbal remedies! This book touches on the natural order of our bodies. The natural healing process as GOD created us. For example: a fever - is the natural process for our bodies to take when fighting off a virus. Yes it must be monitored however, is should not be stopped or interfered with, not only is the body ridding its self of impurities but it’s building a stronger immunity system. Look at the bees they do the EXACT same thing when their hives come under attack. They increase the temp to kill off bacteria. If a bee can do it why not us and our children. I’m very passionate about this lol.Google: the dangers of antibiotics you’ll understand why.Buy this book you won’t regret it.

I was looking for a book on treating children holistically . My daughter is due soon.
I chose this one even though it was written several yrs ago because my daughter had read her 1st book on pregnancy and loved it.
I also like that it’s common sense written by an MD.

A friend with 3 kids recommended this book to me while I was pregnant. I have read and reread this book through the end of my pregnancy and now that my daughter is 5 months old. I have leant it to several friends. The remedies are clearly described and well organized. Also, I found the descriptions of different illnesses super helpful. I have used this for ideas on how to treat myself as well. Aviva Romm shares a wealth of knowledge on herbs in a simple and generous way here. I would recommend this to anyone interested in healing a range of conditions with the help of herbs.

This is a gift for a friend, and will be sent to Italy, with many of the basic ingredients for the most common remedies in the book. Our copy of this book is dog eared and so SO well loved. This isn't just a book of remedies to use on babies and kids. It is useful for the entire family. I have gifted this book to more friends and family members, and recommended it to every midwifery client, childbirth education client, doula client, apprentice... well, basically anybody with whom I come in contact. Aviva Romm is a midwife, a Master Herbalist, and now also a DO. She is brilliant, and anything in this book is safe to use on your family. Of course, always remember that sometimes there is ABSOLUTELY call for western medicine and intervention with prescriptions medicines or surgical attention. However most of the time, if we eat well, and address things early enough, we can avoid western medicine. Our doctors know that if we are in their office, we have tried ALL of the natural remedies, and it is time for intervention. And that is a rare visit. This book is highly recommended. Probably the most highly recommended book in my extensive library. Buy it.

I purchased this book for a friend and had a chance to browse through it before passing it along. I am totally all for natural healing and this book seems to have ample amounts of information when it comes to a natural alternative to medicine. From teething to coughing and all of those little things that make you wonder if there is something other than Tylenol to give the little ones, this book has suggestions.

I’ve been practicing herbalism for a little over a decade, but when it comes to newborns I am clueless. As a soon to be first time father at 39 I was looking for a resource with some newborn recipes. But what I got was so much more! Out of all of the books I have purchased to prepare myself for my daughters arrival this is hands down my best purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 'Healthy Baby Bible'
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2010
Verified Purchase
I love this book! When I was pregnant I bought it, knowing I wanted to raise my daughter the 'natural' way. I reference this book OFTEN. It is the first place I go to whenever wanting to find out information about an illness or symptom. I have tried many of its remedies successfully, including those for acid reflux, chronic constipation, colds, indigestion, bruises, teething, colic and some more, both on the baby and myself. This book is truly a gem.
You can learn all about herbal remedies, how to make them yourself, and how they work. The author describes different herbs, their properties and uses.
Whether you are a new mom, or an experienced one, this book has valuable and practical information to aid you in keeping your little ones and whole family naturally healthy. I consider this book a 'must-have.'

Straight-forward, no-nonsense, sort of book. Good reference book for medical herbalists. It covers the basics, which for children's health, can be wholly different to other groups of the population. For parents, the author has written this book in such a way as to give confidence in being able to care, naturally, for the sick child (within the confines of what is covered in this book, i.e. the general childhood complaints).
