Natural Home Remedies From India: Herbs, Flowers, Roots

From a Small Town in Tamil Nadu to Your Kitchen Shelf 🌿

Kavitha Balakrishnan grew up in Trichy, where food was medicine and the garden was a pharmacy. In this deeply personal guide, she gathers the herbal wisdom she learned from her mother, aunts, and village elders—knowledge that has been passed down for generations but is now at risk of fading away.

More Than 24 Herbs, One Mission

Each chapter focuses on a single plant—from Avarampoo and Hibiscus to Tulsi, Neem, and Turmeric—and explains its traditional uses for health and beauty. You’ll find botanical names alongside Tamil names, making it easy to identify each herb. The book is practical: you’ll learn how to prepare teas, face packs, hair washes, and simple remedies using ingredients you can find or grow.

What Makes This Book Different?

It doesn’t claim to be a medical textbook. Instead, it’s a firsthand account of a lifestyle. Kavitha shares her own journey of reconnecting with these practices after moving away from home, and the small changes that made a big difference. The tone is warm, honest, and rooted in real experience—not laboratory jargon.

Inside You’ll Discover:

• Clear instructions for making topical pastes, scrubs, and hair packs
• Traditional recipes for herbal teas and decoctions
• The cultural and spiritual context behind Siddha and Ayurvedic practices
• Practical tips for incorporating herbs into daily routines
• Guidance on sustainable, chemical-free living
