Tap every one that has troubled you this year. Each one has its own chapter in the book.
Your grandmother didn't just put up with it. She had something for almost everything: a warm cloth, a cup of tea, a spoon of honey. It was in the kitchen, and she knew exactly when to use it.
Most of that knowledge was never written down. This book writes it down, with the medicine warnings she never had.
Every one of these has its own chapter, with remedies you can make from your kitchen tonight.
Your calf locks into a knot so tight it wakes you. You grab the bedpost and wait for it to let go.
The second trip to the bathroom tonight, in the dark, half asleep, hand on the wall.
Your knees are stiff before your feet touch the floor, and the stairs feel longer than they did last year.
The house is quiet, you are tired, and you are still wide awake, counting the hours until morning.
Your socks catch on the rough, split skin of your heels, and some days the cracks sting when you walk.
The cold is long gone, but the dry cough stayed behind, and it is worst when you lie down.
Herbs are real medicine. That is why they help, and it is why they can mix badly with the pills you already take. Here are a few of the warnings inside:
Food and tea amounts are fine for most people. Large amounts or pills can add to the thinning.
It can raise blood pressure. The book tells you the safer form to use.
It lowers blood pressure too, so it can add to your pills. Check your readings.
They can make warfarin stronger. Ask your doctor before eating them often.
It can raise the level of some statins in your blood. Ask your pharmacist.
They can stop your pills from being absorbed. Take them two hours apart.
Every chapter has a "Before You Try This" box like these, and a "See a Doctor If" list.
A classic home remedy for a dry cough and a sore, dry throat. Any firm pear will do.
“I honestly didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. A lot of the remedies reminded me of things my mother used to make when I was growing up. I’ve already marked a few pages to come back to.”
“I’m 72 and I don’t like complicated recipes with ingredients I’ve never heard of. That’s what I liked about this book. Most of the ingredients are things I already keep in the kitchen, and the instructions are simple enough to follow.”
“My grandmother always had some little kitchen remedy for whatever was bothering us. Reading this brought back a lot of those memories. I’ve tried a couple of the recipes so far and enjoyed having these old traditions written down in one place.”
Shelf prices vary by store. These are typical ranges.
The book can pay for itself the first time it tells you not to buy a bottle: the ginkgo that didn't help memory in careful studies, or the "fat burner" that can strain the heart.

An old herbalist from the rural side of China, who learned about plants from his elders, as they learned from theirs. He tells you a short story, then tells you exactly what to do.
He is also the first to tell you what herbs cannot do. "I am not a doctor," he says. "When something is serious, go to the doctor. My grandfather taught me that, too."
