Mrs. Green, who is founder of Little Green Blog, says that she is commited to a greener way of life and just starting out on the path of eco awareness. In her blog  she writes about ethical living and self sufficiency, environmental issues, gardening, organic foods, natural healing and other interesting things that many families care and passionate about. Inspirational motto, “It’s a beautiful world. Let’s keep it that way!” the blog starts with, tells you clearly about her own passions.

Any green ideas? Of course, Mrs. Green works with great enthusiasm on the projects how to keep clean our planet, efficiently dispose waste and use safe,  friendly green products. “So many medications arrive in blister packs and plastic packaging,” she says. “Even herbal teas have cellophane wrap around the cardboard box! In your book, full of wisdom, you talk about the same, and about natural living and healing that I am only too eager for others to hear about and utilise the knowledge in their lives.” Here is Mrs. Green’s detailed review.

“Svetlana Konnikova’s “Mama’s Home Remedies” should be on everyone’s bookshelf. The lovely Lana, as she calls herself, sent me a review copy of this book and I’ve been hooked since receiving it! Empowerment is one of my passions and this book delivers empowerment and more.

I was expecting 100 pages of ideas, but this book is over 300 pages long containing around 800 simple, safe and natural remedies so that you can take responsibility for yours and your family’s health.

 It is beautifully written and , as well as being a reference book, you get a glorious insight into  Lana’s life. She owes her knowledge and reverence of the natural world to her Grandmother and  Mother and talks with animation about her memories, experiences and conversations as a child.

In this book you will find recommendations for treating common ailments such as colds, cough, fevers and headaches, plus selection of ’superfoods’ and how to use them.

One of my personal beliefs is Hippocrates ‘Let food be thy medicine.’ You’ll learn how to use this saying in your own life when you read this book.

Learn which vegetable will treat anaemia, which one to apply to the forehead to ease a headache and which herb to drink to aid relaxation and promote sleep. Find the answer to fatigue in the juice of one delicious fruit!

As you would expect from someone who grew up with the wisdom of the ages imparted to her, this book is littered with interesting interesting folklore, stories and ancient legends. This brings the world of body-mind-spirit healing alive!

As you read, you’ll find yourself transported to a room full of wise women where you start to feel your own cells stirring with memories of forgotten truths. Use this book to discover the secrets of nature, restore your faith in your body’s ability to heal and allow your intuitiuon to guide you towards health and wholeness.
