A large-format herbal reference by Nicole Apelian, Ph. D. covering 45 common health complaints — each one given its own numbered protocol chapter. Every chapter ranks what matters most, names the herbs traditionally used with their Latin names and customary doses, flags the medication interactions, and sets out a week-by-week routine. Educational only — always speak to a qualified professional first.
45 ILLUSTRATED PROTOCOLS
Chamomile for restless nights. Ginger for a queasy stomach. Turmeric for aching joints. Most of us have heard the remedies — but the moment you actually need one, the knowledge is scattered across a dozen browser tabs, and none of them agree on the dose or warn you about your prescription.
This guide takes 45 common complaints and gives each one a full protocol chapter: a ranked pyramid of what actually matters, the herbs traditionally used — Latin names, customary doses and known medication interactions included — plus the diet, lifestyle and nutrient changes that sit alongside them, and a week-by-week table you can follow. One shelf-ready reference instead of a dozen tabs.
LOOK INSIDE
Three real elements from the book — the opening of a protocol chapter, the ranked pyramid that heads every one of them, and the caution column that runs beside every herb entry.
Each protocol opens the same way: what the complaint actually is, how common it is, and what the research says — with numbered citations you can follow up. Then the remedies, one at a time. Boswellia serrata, Curcuma longa, Tanacetum parthenium, Salix alba: for each, what it is traditionally used for, the suggested dose, and the medications it should not be combined with.
| Herb | Caution printed in the book | Traditionally used for |
|---|---|---|
| White Willow Salix alba | Blood thinners; not in pregnancy, nursing or for children | Fever, aches, inflammation |
| St. John’s Wort Hypericum perforatum | Alters how many drugs are metabolised — ask your doctor | Nerve discomfort, low mood |
| Turmeric Curcuma longa | Pair with black pepper; check with blood thinners | Joint comfort, inflammation |
| Boswellia Boswellia serrata | Not to be taken internally during pregnancy | Joint and back discomfort |

WHAT'S INSIDE
45 health protocols, each a numbered chapter of its own
A ranked protocol pyramid for every complaint — what matters most, in order

Diet, lifestyle, vitamins & minerals covered alongside the remedies

HOW TO USE IT
Read a chapter through once before you act on it, then keep the book where you would actually reach for it.
Forty-five complaints, each its own numbered protocol. Read the whole chapter — cautions and interactions included — before you brew or buy anything.
Every protocol ranks its options for you. Begin with the natural remedies and the diet notes at the wide end, and give them a few days before changing anything.
Each protocol ends in a morning-to-evening schedule laid out across the week, so you know what to take when instead of guessing.

WHAT READERS SAY
“I went to the sleep chapter first and actually followed the weekly table instead of guessing at it. Three weeks on, the tea tin lives on the counter and the book stays open beside it.”
Hannah R.
“Half my herb bed turned out to be in here, Latin names and all. I take it out to the garden and check the entry before I cut anything — the interactions column alone was worth it.”
Daniel O.
“Read it over two evenings with a cup of tea. It’s the first herbal book that tells you plainly when to stop and see a doctor, and it cites where its claims come from.”
Marisol V.
