KOREAN HERBAL APOTHECARY

The media could not be loaded.  In my personal exploration of Korean natural health and beauty traditions, I discovered this extraordinary book that not only immerses readers in the intricate tapestry of Korean herbalism but also serves as a pragmatic guide for seamlessly integrating these age-old remedies into contemporary living. Author Grace Yoon brings a unique perspective shaped by her Korean American background, drawing upon a wealth of herbal knowledge inherited from her family, rooted in a lineage of farmers and Eastern medicine practitioners. This authentic blend of personal experience and familial wisdom enriches the narrative, making the exploration of Korean herbal practices in The Korean Herbal Apothecary a captivating and enlightening journey for readers eager to embrace holistic wellness. The vibrant illustrations of herbs, coupled with insightful medicinal and culinary ways to use them, create a holistic approach that resonated with me. The recipes and remedies are not only effective but also easy to follow. It's more than a book; it's a journey into the heart of Korean herbal traditions.

This is SUCH AN INFORMATIVE BOOK! So glad something like this came out in English and Grace Yoon does an excellent job of describing all the herbs and recipes! Highly recommended to expand your knowledge on herbs and plants that are commonly used in Korea and Asia for healing purposes!

When I picked up this book, I expected to learn about how herbs are used in Korean medicine. But, of course, the author's book is as holistic as her approach to healing. So not only do you learn about herbs used in Korean medicine, but also you learn the underlying philosophies, some personal history, you read poems, you view art, and you even get recipes! I can't wait to make the Chesnut Gingko Porridge this winter. I'm so glad I purchased this book. It is one I will keep going back to!

This book is an excellent resource for Korean medicine. The author did a wonderful job cataloging the traditional herbs which included each herb’s history, scientific information, photos and illustrations and even recipes! I look forward to trying out some of the recipes.

I am so beyond grateful for The Korean Herbal Apothecary. This book is so thoughtful and personal and I appreciate the author's devotion.There is so much in nature and remedies that belong to this rich history. Do yourself a favor and start reading ASAP.
