IN PRAISE OF

Mama's Home Remedies

“The suggestions in this volume bring fruitful advice and invaluable worth. Most people have forgotten that the simple things are at the center of soulful nurturing and this health publication is an exemplary model of such authentic knowledge. This book offers us an outline of happiness and health. Everyone will benefit from these jewels of understanding and I am sure that you will be as rewarded as I was after embracing many of these natural prescriptions."

—Anna Maria Clement, PhD, NMD, codirector and chief health administrator of Hippocrates Health Institute

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading “Dialogue with the Trees of Strength and Everlasting Life” in Mama’s Home Remedies. Svetlana Konnikova fills this delightful essay on the importance of trees in our lives with fascinating legends, appealing real-life personal and family stories, poetry, home remedies, interesting nature facts, and motivating aphorisms. She even includes a chart of the Trees of Life; mine is the walnut, the tree of passion and power. Her descriptions of scenery paint colorful pictures that make me want to go to the places she portrays. I am proud that she quotes from my grandfather Joyce Kilmer’s poem,

“Trees.” I hope that her work will help to instill a deeper reverence for the environment in readers everywhere.”

—Miriam A. Kilmer, artist and granddaughter of poet Joyce Kilmer, author of “Trees”
