The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable

We raise our animals naturlaly/organically. We had been searching for a book that would help us with our animals in such a way medically, if needed. A friend of ours, who has been doing what we're doing for decades, highly recommended this book, telling us it would become our farm "bible". After reading just a few pages of this, we quickly realized what she meant, and we have been reading from it and using it ever since. It is very clearly written, easy to understand, and a joy to use. The author gives a wonderful history of herbal medicines in a farm/livestock setting. She clearly explains how to prepare the herbs (in tinctures, poultices, etc.) for the animals. She breaks it down for the different animals as well. This book is a joy to own-- we're very pleased with our purchase.

I am soaking up all the wonderful information in this book. I'm excited to have this book in my collection. I have a lot of reference books because I don't like to depend on the internet for information. Who knows if we might not have access to the internet one day! I have books on herbal medicine and books about all the animals on our homestead. The herbal books don't go into dosage and usage on animals and the animal books for the most part don't talk about herbal remedies mostly modern remedies. I love that this book combines both my love for herbal remedies and animals in one book. my only con would be that I wish there were pictures because I'm a visual person and pictures help to hold my attention. lol

Having so many animals for pleasure or food does lead one to adopt an attitude of vigilance towards animals health and needs. As many animals could quite easily survive in a natural environment as oppose to our mankind created environments for them, even for those of us with the best of intentions, having this book can help one place some emphasis on the animals natural/original health and needs rather than what we may think they need. We have to adapt our mankind environments more towards a natural/original environment that can sustain and benefit the animals natural instinct. So many times we try too force animals to live in our mankind environments and treat them our way when at heart, it does more damage and cruelty than good. I enjoy this book and have followed, with great success many of the treatments with our animals both great and small.

a little hard to understand but read it thrugh and it makes sense ..i saved my dogs life from distemper 30 years ago by following her other book complete herbal handbook for dogs there is supposedly no cure for this disease and she lived to be a healthy beautiful dog the vet said when he saw her after ..she had it but its gone and when i tried to explain about the book he just said it was a miricle so yes her books are abit confusing but her remedies do work i fully recommend her books

This book is great for anyone who is a homesteader/farmer that tries to stay away from conventional healing modalities. Some of the remedies would be difficult to find in my area but still a lot of information that is useful.

A book everyone should have at home to consult at every-time. A book that talk about natural treatments for animals.

This is the very best book I've ever come across to teach how to use herbs and natural remedies for specific animal situations! I love this book and will never be without it. I have already started using some information from the section on sheep/stock dogs, with immediate and visible improvements. It is the most in depth book I've ever found, as well as the most knowledgeable author I've read for this subject.

This book is not quite what I expected. There is very little information about dosage and most every herb is generalized by “a couple handfuls” of herbs for whatever treatment and there are not specific guidelines for brewing herb potions. Still there is helpful information, but I feel the author does not have an accurate understanding of the lives of animals, but rather associates the butchering of them with inhuman torture and recounts a story of horrified cattle driven to madness by fear in escaping a near encounter with the butcher, and bases her whole perspective from this incident. This is not true of ethical butchering methods. For this reason and other ideas expressed in the book I cannot read it with full confidence in the authors accuracy of all treatments, discerning a lack of education and common sense about certain topics.

This book is easy to read and has a wealth of knowledge about herbs and treatments for animals.

Its wonderful that I could still find this great book. Amazon service a little glitchy but sellers customer service outstanding!

I rate this book as a means to treating your animals naturally, especially if you live in the countryside and can access many of the plants referred to.
