A printed book of 106 natural remedies that comes alive on your phone. Point your camera at a remedy's card, watch it being made, then turn to its page and make it in your own kitchen.
“I'm 67. I scanned the code on page 3, pointed my phone at the sleep syrup card and there it was, a little video playing right on top of the page. No app, no password. My granddaughter was more impressed than I was.”
★★★★★
“Slept through to 6 a.m.”
“The Lavender-Tart Cherry Sleep Syrup on page 31. One tablespoon before bed. By the second week I was sleeping through to 6 a.m. for the first time since spring. There's a jar in my fridge at all times now.”
★★★★★
“Four herbal books. One remedy made.”
“That was me before this. I own four herbal books and I'd made exactly one remedy from them. I've made eleven from this one in a month, because I can see what it's supposed to look like before I start.”

The lost link
Why Grandma's remedies worked, and why yours didn't
Your grandmother never opened a book to make her cough syrup.
She learned it standing next to her own mother. Watching the onions being sliced. Seeing how thick the honey should look. Smelling when it was ready.
That's how herbal knowledge survived for centuries. Not on paper. Hand to hand, kitchen to kitchen, by watching.
Then the chain broke. One generation stopped showing, and the next one stopped learning. So when you went looking, here's what you found:
Remedy videos and pins that contradict each other, with no amounts
No dose, and nothing about who shouldn't take it
Thick herbal books that are a wall of text, with no picture of what it should look like
So you made something once, weren't sure you'd done it right, and gave up
The herbs didn't fail you. The way you were taught to make them did.
That's why we made Scan. Heal. Repeat.: an herbal remedy book that shows you every remedy being made, the way it was always passed down. Then the page gives you the exact amounts, the dose, and who should avoid it.
The picture guide (pages 4–21). Every card plays its video.
The Scan. Watch. Make. method
Scan it. Watch it. Make it. Repeat.
One phone, no app, and every remedy in the book.
Scan the code on page 3, once
A web page opens on your phone. No app to download, no account.
Point your camera at a remedy's card
The picture guide on pages 4 to 21 has a card for every remedy. Its video plays right over the card.
Watch it being made
What to chop, how much to pour, how long to steep, and what it should look like when it's done.
Turn to its page
The card shows the page number. There you get the ingredients in US and metric, numbered steps, how much it makes and the dose.
Make it. Then repeat
After the first few times you won't need the video at all.
A recipe without the videois guesswork. You never know if it looks right.
A video without the pagehas no amounts, no dose and no "avoid if".
This book gives you bothfor all 106 remedies, in one place.
A real Sunday night
Here's what it looks like when you actually need it
You've just finished a big Sunday dinner, and you feel heavy and uncomfortable.
You open the picture guide to Digestive Health and point your phone at the Dill-Vinegar Tonic card.
The video plays over the card: the dill being chopped, the vinegar, honey and warm water mixed, the 10-minute steep.
You turn to page 38. A handful of fresh dill, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp raw honey, 1 cup warm water. It makes one cup.
The page tells you how to take it: 1 cup before meals, 2–3 times a day. And who should skip it: anyone prone to ulcers.
No guessing. No wondering "did I do this right?" And next Sunday, you make it before dinner.
Page 38, exactly as it appears in the book.
Inside the book
106 remedies, organized by what you're feeling
Here are 20 of the most common reasons people reach for the book. Every remedy has its own video, and its page has the amounts, the dose and who should avoid it.
01Sleep
"I'm exhausted, but the moment my head hits the pillow, my mind switches on."
You lie there going over tomorrow's to-do list. You wake at 3 a.m. and stare at the ceiling. You get up more tired than when you went to bed, and coffee is the only thing that gets you through the afternoon.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickSleep aids can leave you groggy, and "just relax" isn't advice. Your body needs a wind-down routine it recognizes.
“One tablespoon of the cherry syrup before bed. By the second week I was sleeping through to 6 a.m. for the first time since spring.”Linda R., 58, Texas
Tart cherries, lavender and honey for better sleep. 1 tbsp before bed. Avoid with blood thinners.
Lavender-Chamomile Herbal Balmp. 28
A soothing balm for your wrists at bedtime. Keep away from eyes and broken skin.
Cucumber-Chamomile Compressp. 105
Ten minutes away from screens, on closed eyelids. Never in the eye.
Featured · scan to watch
Simmered for 15 minutes, mashed, strained and mixed with honey. It makes about 3/4 cup and keeps a week in the fridge.
Good to knowSleep trouble that lasts for weeks needs a doctor. Snoring with gasps or pauses in breathing should be checked.
02Cortisol
"Wired at midnight, wiped out by noon."
You lie awake replaying the day. You need two coffees to start and something sweet to keep going. Your doctor calls it stress. You call it every single day.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickNothing on a shelf resets your stress hormones. What helps is a routine your body can count on, morning and night.
“The nightcap and a phone-free half hour before bed changed my evenings. I stopped lying awake replaying meetings, and the mornings stopped feeling like a fight.”Michelle T., 46, Ohio
A warm cup 30 minutes before bed. Never with alcohol or sedatives, not in pregnancy, not before driving.
Peppermint-Honey Fermented Tonicp. 27
A fizzy afternoon drink in place of the fourth coffee. Fermented: not with MAOI antidepressants.
Ginger-Arnica Balmp. 101
For shoulders after a week at the laptop. Unbroken skin only.
Featured · scan to watch
Valerian root and passionflower simmered for 10 minutes, strained, with a teaspoon of honey. Sip it warm 30 minutes before bed.
Good to knowStress that affects your sleep, work or relationships needs a doctor. Chest pain, or a racing heart with breathlessness or fainting, is an emergency: call 911. If you ever feel hopeless, call or text 988.
03Digestion
"Every big meal ends the same way: heavy, bloated and uncomfortable."
You undo your top button after dinner. Sunday lunch means an afternoon on the couch. You've started skipping foods you love just to avoid that feeling.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickAntacids quiet it for an hour. Generations before us had something for before the meal, not after.
“Sunday dinners at my mother-in-law's used to end with me on the couch. Now I drink a cup of the dill tonic before we sit down, and I'm the one doing the dishes.”Denise K., 61, Georgia
For indigestion. 1 cup before meals. Avoid if ulcer-prone.
Fennel-Caraway Chew Ballsp. 37
For bloating and gas. 1 ball after meals. Avoid if allergic to seeds.
Slippery Elm-Ginger Gruelp. 39
A warm gruel before big meals. Avoid if allergic to elm.

Homemade ferment for your gut. 1/2 cup a day with meals. Salty. Not with MAOI antidepressants.
Featured · scan to watch
Fennel, caraway and honey rolled into little chew balls you can keep in your bag for after dinner out.
Good to knowBloating that lasts 3 weeks or more, or comes with weight loss, bleeding or a change in your habits, needs a doctor.
04Diabetes
"Every remedy I find is half honey."
You count every carb, check your numbers before breakfast and read every label twice. Most "natural remedies" are syrups and sweet teas you can't touch. And your hands and feet are drier than ever.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickYou need remedies that fit your plan, not ones that fight it.
“Every remedy book I owned was full of honey and syrups. This one has savory things I can actually have. The artichoke broth after dinner is my ritual now.”Gloria M., 63, Texas
A savory cup after meals, with no sugar at all. Not with gallstones, liver problems or a daisy allergy.
Sauerkraut-Dill Fermentp. 41
Half a cup with a meal. Salty, so count it. Not with MAOI antidepressants.
Coconut-Calendula Balmp. 76
For dry, cracked hands. Never between the toes or on sores. Avoid eyes.
Featured · scan to watch
Artichoke leaves simmered for 10 minutes, peppermint steeped 5 more, and a pinch of salt. Four ingredients and no sweetener.
Good to knowNever instead of your medicine, meal plan or blood sugar checks. Bring any new food or drink to your care team first. Check your feet every day, and see a doctor about any sore that won't heal.
05Alzheimer's and dementia
"Mom asks the same question six times an hour, and I haven't slept properly in a year."
You're the daughter, the nurse and the cook now. You plan every outing around bathrooms and bad afternoons. And at night, when the house is finally quiet, your own body reminds you it's been running on empty.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickNothing in this book is for memory. It's for the two of you: calm rituals you can share, and comfort for the one doing the caring.
“Dad can't cook any more, but he loves sitting in the kitchen while I make the bone broth. It's our hour together. The cherry syrup is for me, after he's in bed.”Laura B., 55, Tennessee
Comfort food you make together. It keeps 3 days in the fridge. Salty.
Epsom Salt-Rosemary Bathp. 94
For hands and backs that ache. You run it: warm, never hot.
Lavender-Tart Cherry Sleep Syrupp. 31
The carer's spoonful at the end of the day. Avoid with blood thinners.
Featured · scan to watch
Chicken bones, fresh thyme, water and a pinch of salt, simmered low and slow. Watch it go on in the morning and become tomorrow's lunch.
Good to knowThe person with dementia never handles heat or knives, and anything they eat or drink is checked with their doctor or pharmacist first. Memory problems that get worse need a doctor, and many causes are treatable. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or weakness on one side is an emergency: call 911.

You check the weather and the pollen count before you leave the house. You carry the inhaler everywhere. And half the "natural" ideas online are steam, oils and diffusers you can't go near.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickThis chapter keeps to remedies that never go into the air.
“I'd given up on home remedies because so many are steam or oils. This book has plenty that never go near the air. The turmeric paste in my morning tea is a habit now.”Jenna R., 41, Colorado
A morning spoonful, or stirred into warm water. Avoid with blood thinners.
Fennel-Caraway Chew Ballsp. 37
For after meals. Open a window while you toast the seeds. Avoid if allergic to seeds.
Cucumber-Chamomile Compressp. 105
Ten quiet minutes on closed eyelids. Chamomile is in the daisy family.
Featured · scan to watch
Fresh turmeric and ginger grated into honey with a pinch of black pepper. One jar keeps a week in the fridge.
Good to knowYour inhaler and asthma plan always come first. Nothing here goes into the air: no steam, diffusers or smoke, and open a window when cooking smells are strong. Trouble breathing that your inhaler doesn't fix is an emergency: call 911.
07Muscles and joints
"Getting out of bed shouldn't hurt this much."
Stiff knees on the stairs. Hands that ache when you open a jar. Calves that cramp at 2 a.m. And you're tired of that bottle of pills on the kitchen counter.
“After a day in the garden my shoulders used to scream. Now it's the ginger-arnica balm and a rosemary Epsom bath on Sunday night, and I'm back out on Monday.”Rob T., 64, Arizona
For sore muscles after exercise. 1 tsp, once or twice a day. Avoid open skin. Never swallowed.
Epsom Salt-Rosemary Bathp. 94
The book's arthritis page: 20 warm minutes, once or twice a week. Warm, not hot.
Dill-Magnesium Tonicp. 100
The book's leg-cramp tonic. One cup a day at most. Avoid excess magnesium and kidney problems.
Featured · scan to watch
Watch the ginger and arnica balm being made and poured, ready for after a long day on your feet.
Good to knowArnica is never swallowed and only goes on unbroken skin. Joint pain with swelling, redness or fever needs a doctor.
08Back pain
"By 5 p.m. my back feels twice my age."
Hours at a desk or behind the wheel. A twinge every time you tie your shoes. A heating pad that's become a permanent part of the couch.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickRest alone doesn't stick. A warm balm, a warm soak and a small routine at the end of each day do.
“The ginger-turmeric balm after a day at the desk, then twenty minutes in a warm bath. My back isn't screaming at 5 p.m. any more.”Mark S., 52, Florida
The book's back pain page. 1 tsp, once or twice a day. Unbroken skin only. Turmeric stains.
Bone Broth-Parsley Soupp. 95
The book's joint support soup, 1 cup a day. Salty.
Turmeric-Ginger Honey Pastep. 62
A morning spoonful. Avoid with blood thinners.
Featured · scan to watch
Ginger and turmeric infused in coconut oil for 2 hours, then set with beeswax. Watch it made, then rub it in after work.
Good to knowNumbness around the groin or bottom, bladder or bowel changes, or weakness in both legs is an emergency: call 911. Back pain after a fall, or with a fever, needs a doctor.
09Headaches
"By 3 p.m. there's a band around my head."
Screens all day, shoulders up by your ears, and a pressure that builds behind your eyes until the evening is gone.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickReaching for painkillers every day can bring on more headaches. A slower ritual helps you catch the tension early.
“A warm ginger-lavender compress and ten minutes in a dark room is my end-of-day ritual now. Those tension days don't steal my evenings like they used to.”Rachel P., 44, New Jersey
The book's headache page: a warm cloth on the forehead for 15 minutes, up to twice a day. Lavender is a strong scent and can be a trigger.
Lavender-Chamomile Herbal Balmp. 28
On the wrists or temples. Never near the eyes.
Epsom Salt-Rosemary Bathp. 94
Twenty warm minutes with the lights low. Warm, not hot.
Featured · scan to watch
Fresh ginger and lavender steeped for 10 minutes, then a cloth soaked and wrung out. Three steps.
Good to knowPainkillers on more than 10–15 days a month can cause more headaches: talk to your doctor. A sudden, severe headache, or one with weakness, confusion, or a fever and stiff neck, is an emergency: call 911.
10Menopause
"Hot flashes at my desk, and wide awake at 3 a.m."
You fan yourself through meetings, change your pajamas in the night and lose the word you were looking for mid-sentence. Nobody warned you it could last years.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickYour doctor and HRT come first. The book adds small rituals around them.
“The sage tonic is my afternoon ritual now, with my doctor's OK. It's the first thing in two years that feels like I'm doing something for myself.”Debbie L., 53, Arizona
The book's menopause page, 1 cup a day. Avoid with liver problems or in pregnancy. On HRT or any medicine, or with a history of breast or womb cancer? Ask your doctor first.
Rosemary-Walnut Spreadp. 26
A savory spread for your morning toast. Avoid with nut allergies or epilepsy.
Valerian-Passionflower Nightcapp. 30
A warm cup before bed. Never with alcohol or sedatives.
Featured · scan to watch

A calming paste of basil, chamomile and coconut oil. Keep away from eyes and broken skin.
Rosemary-Beet Foot Soakp. 51
Warm feet on a cozy evening, once or twice a week. Warm, not hot.
Featured · scan to watch
Watch the balm being made from lavender, chamomile and coconut oil, then poured into a jar to set.
Good to knowStress that affects your sleep, work or relationships needs a doctor. If you ever feel hopeless, call or text 988.
12Cold season
"If someone sneezes at work, I'm sick by Friday."
Every cold that goes around finds you. And when it does, it hangs on. Winter means a box of tissues and a calendar full of cancelled plans.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickYou only reach for something once you're already sick. The old way was to have it in the fridge before the season started.
“I make a batch of the elderberry-garlic syrup in October. My husband and I take our spoonful every morning, and this was our first winter without a single sick day.”Margaret H., 72, Pennsylvania
What to make every cold season. 1 tbsp a day. Never use raw elderberries.
Citrus-Nettle Tonicp. 67
A bright morning tonic, 1 cup a day.
Bone Broth-Thyme Soupp. 71
Comfort in a bowl, 1 cup a day. Salty.
Featured · scan to watch
Watch the elderberries and garlic simmered down into a syrup, and see what it should look like in the jar.
Good to knowNever instead of a flu shot. Honey is never for babies under one. A baby under 3 months with a fever needs urgent help.
13Throat and coughs
"Every winter, the scratchy throat comes back."
The dry tickle at night. The rough voice in the morning. A chesty cough that keeps the whole house up.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickStore-bought syrups are full of ingredients you can't pronounce. Generations before us used thyme, onion and honey.
“The honey-thyme syrup is the first thing I make when my husband starts clearing his throat. He's stopped asking for the store-bought stuff.”Joan F., 69, Virginia
The book's energy boost page. 4 oz in the morning. Avoid if prone to kidney stones. Fermented: not with MAOI antidepressants.
Flaxseed-Walnut Granolap. 49
A breakfast instead of a skipped morning. Avoid with nut allergies.
Carrot-Blueberry Smoothiep. 102
A breakfast that isn't coffee.
Featured · scan to watch
Five ingredients and a few days on the counter. Watch how the kvass is set up and what it looks like when it's ready.
Good to knowTiredness that lasts weeks without a clear reason needs a doctor and a blood test. Never drive drowsy.
15Snoring
"One of us snores, and both of us are exhausted."
A nudge, a roll, a pillow over your head. Some nights one of you ends up on the couch. By morning nobody's rested and everybody's short-tempered.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickEarplugs only fix half of it.
“He takes his spoonful of the sage paste before bed, I take mine of the cherry syrup. I'm back in our bed after two years in the spare room.”Pam J., 62, Missouri
The book's remedy for snoring. 1 tsp before bed, adults only. Avoid sage with epilepsy.
Onion-Honey Syrupp. 57
For hay fever season, when a blocked nose makes it worse. 1 tsp a day. Never for babies under one.
Lavender-Tart Cherry Sleep Syrupp. 31
The partner's spoonful, for the one lying awake. Avoid with blood thinners.
Featured · scan to watch
Fresh sage chopped into honey with a squeeze of lemon. Three ingredients, and it keeps a week in the fridge.
Good to knowSnoring with gasping, choking, pauses in breathing or daytime sleepiness needs a doctor, so bring your partner to describe it. Never drive drowsy.

Bloated by lunch, uncomfortable by dinner, and a bathroom routine that runs your mornings. You've tried the powders, and you hate depending on them.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickFood, water and routine come first. Prunes are one of the few foods with trial evidence behind them.
“A serving of the prune pudding and more water every day. Things finally run on a schedule again, and I've stopped buying the powder.”Helen G., 68, Kansas
The book's constipation page: prunes, chia and a little honey. 1 serving a day. Honey is never for babies under one.
Sauerkraut-Dill Fermentp. 41
Start small: half a cup with a meal. Salty. Not with MAOI antidepressants.
Featured · scan to watch
Prunes soaked for an hour, blended, then thickened with chia for 4 hours. It keeps 2 days in the fridge.
Good to knowAdd fiber slowly and drink water with it. Blood, weight loss, constant tiredness or a sudden change in your habits needs a doctor.
17Skin
"My hands crack every winter, and nothing from the store helps."
Rough knuckles that sting in the shower. Too much sun on the first warm weekend. A bathroom shelf full of products that didn't work.
“My knuckles used to split open every January. Two weeks of the calendula balm and my hands are soft again. I made a second jar for my mom.”Becky J., 44, Minnesota
For dry, cracked hands. 1 tsp, once or twice a day. Avoid eyes.
Aloe-Yogurt Maskp. 79
Cooling relief after too much sun.
Carrot-Pumpkin Seed Scrubp. 88
A gentle face scrub, once a week.
Featured · scan to watch
Fresh coconut and calendula, melted, strained and set into a balm. Watch it come together in five steps.
Good to knowSevere sunburn, blistering or skin that won't heal needs a doctor. Calendula is in the daisy family.
18Hair
"My part looks wider every time I check."
More hair in the brush, more scalp in the photos, and a bathroom cabinet of serums that promised everything.
Why the usual fix doesn't stickYou've seen the rosemary trend everywhere. Nobody showed you how to actually make it.
“I'd been trying the rosemary thing from TikTok with no idea what I was doing. Now I can see exactly how to make the paste, and my scalp feels better than it has in years.”Nicole A., 38, Washington
The book's hair growth page: on the scalp for 30 minutes, once a week. The research so far is one small trial, of rosemary oil. Patch test first.
Apple Cider Vinegar-Nettle Rinsep. 93
For an itchy scalp, after shampoo, 2–3 times a week. Keep it out of your eyes.
Spinach-Molasses Tonicp. 34
Built on iron-rich foods. Low iron can cause shedding, and a blood test tells you. Avoid excess with blood thinners.
Featured · scan to watch
Fresh rosemary and dried nettle crushed into olive oil. On for 30 minutes, then rinse.
Good to knowSudden hair loss, patches or clumps need a doctor. Never instead of a treatment you've been prescribed.
19Period pain
"One week every month, my calendar isn't mine."
A hot water bottle, a cancelled plan and a drawer of painkillers. Every month, the same week.
“The ginger-raspberry tonic is what I sip that week now. It's become my little ritual, and I don't dread it the way I used to.”Sarah N., 38, California
What to sip that week. 1 cup a day during your period. Skip raspberry leaf if you might be pregnant.
Ginger-Lavender Compressp. 64
A warm cloth on the forehead for the tension of the week before. Lavender is a strong scent.
Featured · scan to watch
Ginger and raspberry leaf steeped into a warm tonic. Three steps, start to finish in the video.
Good to knowPain that stops you living or keeps getting worse, very heavy bleeding, or bleeding between periods needs a doctor. Never instead of the painkillers your doctor recommends.
20Everyday kit
"A bee sting at the picnic. Tired eyes after a screen day. A long car ride."
The little things that happen every week, when you'd rather reach into the kitchen than drive to the pharmacy.
“My grandson got stung at the lake. I remembered the plantain card, and he was back in the water in ten minutes.”Diane W., 66, Wisconsin
Tonics, syrups, ferments, pastes, spreads, balms, poultices, compresses, soaks, baths, smoothies, soups and chew balls. Plus a glossary, a storage guide and a reference list.
The Repeat ritual
Why "Repeat" is the most important word on the cover
Most people try a remedy once, feel a little better, then forget about it, and the problem comes back. Natural remedies work best the way brushing your teeth does: small, steady and daily.

If your phone has a camera and a web browser, yes. It runs on a web page, so there's nothing to install.
Is this a physical book?
Yes. A printed paperback, shipped with tracking in 2–7 days.
How many remedies are in it?
106, one per page (pages 26–131), in 19 body-system sections. Each one has its own video in the picture guide.
Why is it only $37?
We sell it direct from our own store, so there's no bookstore markup in the price. And we'd rather it ended up on more kitchen counters.
Do I need special equipment?
No. Jars, a saucepan, a blender and basic kitchen tools are enough.
Where do I get the ingredients?
Most come from a grocery or health food store: honey, ginger, lemon, garlic, turmeric, chamomile, thyme, apple cider vinegar. Many are already in your kitchen.
I'm new to natural remedies. Is it for me?
Yes. The videos take out the guesswork, and the book has a glossary of terms and a storage and shelf-life guide (pages 23–25).
Can I use these alongside my medication?
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. Some herbs can interact with medication, and most remedy pages say who should avoid them.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Several remedies say to avoid them during pregnancy. Check with your healthcare provider before using any herbal remedy.
How do I get my free gifts?
The gifts come with the 2- and 3-book bundles and arrive by email right after you order.
What if I don't like it?
You have 60 days to ask for a full refund, and you keep the book.
Two ways this can go
Close this page
Keep staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. Keep undoing your top button after dinner. Keep saving remedy videos you'll never make.
Get the book
Scan your first card tonight. By the weekend there's a jar of sleep syrup in the fridge and a cup of dill tonic before Sunday dinner. And if it isn't for you, you get your money back and keep the book.
60-day keep-the-book guaranteeFree shipping on 2+ books
P.S. Picture the first cold night of winter. Your throat starts to scratch, and instead of driving to the pharmacy you walk to the fridge, where the honey-thyme syrup you made last weekend is waiting. That's what this book is for.
P.P.S. Buying one for your mom, your sister or a friend? The 2-book bundle comes with free shipping and two bonus ebooks.
