In a time when healthcare is getting harder to access and more expensive by the month, many Americans are looking back to the simple remedies our grandparents trusted. The Forgotten Home Apothecary by Dr. Nicole Apelian is more than just another herbal book, it’s a practical, beautifully illustrated guide to taking control of your health with natural, affordable remedies you can make at home.
Dr. Apelian is not a hobbyist. She’s a trained biologist, an experienced herbalist, and a survival skills instructor. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, she built her own herbal protocol and hasn’t relied on MS medication for over twenty years. Her field experience goes far beyond a classroom, in 2015 she survived 57 days alone on the TV show Alone, depending on the natural world around her. That life experience shows on every page of this book.

Practical, Organized, and Ready When You Need It
What sets this book apart is its apothecary-style layout. Remedies are organized by body systems, so when something happens, a cut, a sore throat, inflamed joints, or trouble sleeping, you can flip straight to the right section and find clear instructions, correct dosages, preparation steps, and full-color photos. There’s no guesswork and no vague “just use lavender” advice.
The recipes are practical for real households: ingredients are either growing wild, in your garden, or cheap to buy, and preparation is simple enough for beginners.
Some examples you’ll find inside:
- Wild Lettuce Painkiller — a calming, legal alternative to harsh pain pills.
- Dr. Nicole’s Mushroom Drops — part of the protocol she still uses to manage MS.
- Homemade Lung Shield — kitchen ingredients turned into a protective remedy for breathing issues.
- Natural Sleep Capsules — passionflower, valerian, and lavender blended into a safe bedtime aid.
- Backyard Probiotic — fermented cabbage juice for gut health at pennies a dose.



More Than Just Remedies — True Self-Reliance Skills
The book comes with three excellent companion guides that expand its usefulness beyond herbal medicine:
- The Lost Skills of the Great Depression — how past generations thrived with little, including forgotten gardening methods and cheap, nourishing foods.
- Healing Yourself With Household Items — quick, effective fixes with things you already own (honey, vinegar, duct tape, oatmeal, and more).
- DIY Projects for a World Without Electricity — build low-tech systems for water, refrigeration, and comfort when the grid fails.
For visual learners, there’s also an Herbal Medicine Video Collection where Dr. Nicole walks you through making some of her most popular remedies step by step.




Trusted by Thousands — and Risk-Free to Try
This isn’t a niche e-book. The Forgotten Home Apothecary has been a Top 20 bestseller on Amazon for weeks and holds an impressive average rating. Social media is full of real people showing tinctures, salves, and tonics they’ve made using these recipes.
And the purchase is completely risk-free: you get a 60-day money-back guarantee and can keep the physical book even if you ask for a refund. That’s rare and shows confidence in the product.
At the moment, the publisher is running a 78% discount; the $173 package (book + bonuses + videos) is available for $37 plus shipping. Copies of the full-color edition often sell out, so if the limited-stock notice is showing, it’s wise not to wait.
Who This Book Is Perfect For
If you’re a prepper, homesteader, or simply someone who wants to be ready for medical shortages, price hikes, and emergencies, this is one of the most useful health resources you can own. It’s also great for anyone who wants to save money on everyday care and prefers clear, no-nonsense guidance instead of vague herbal folklore.
This isn’t about miracle cures or gimmicks, it’s about taking back practical control of your family’s well-being with knowledge you can trust.
Final Thoughts
I’ve read many natural remedy guides, but this one stands out for its clarity, field-tested credibility, and real-world usefulness. It’s the kind of book you’ll keep on the shelf for years and hand down to your kids.
If you want a self-reliant health plan that works whether the system is running smoothly or not, The Forgotten Home Apothecary deserves a spot in your home.
