The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies

Introduction – About the Authors

 We hope this book will become a favorite reference for you and serve as a starting place on your health

journey. This book is a general guide to herbal treatments as Dr. Nicole Apelian, and Claude Davis practice them.

We encourage everyone to seek medical help whenever needed and avoid self-diagnosis.

Nicole Apelian, Ph.D.

Dr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a mother, a survival skills instructor, an anthropologist, and a biologist. She graduated with a degree in Biology from McGill University in Canada and has her Master’s degree in

Ecology from the University of Oregon. She earned her Doctorate through Prescott College while working as an anthropologist and ethnobotanist in Botswana. She is also the author of “A Reference Guide to Surviving Nature: Outdoor Preparation and Remedies”.

She has spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. Developing strong relationships within the tribe helped Nicole learn many of the remedies and skills she practices and teaches today.

An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills towards her wellness. She focused on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving through changes in her lifestyle, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her remedies.

She believes that there are many more people suffering who need to find their remedy. This became her

life’s mission and the main reason for writing this book. In it, she poured over 28 years of plant knowledge and her first-hand experiences of making her poultices, tinctures, decoctions, salves, infused oils, and other herbal remedies.

She has helped thousands of people treat themselves naturally by following her holistic wellness advice and using herbal remedies.

In 2015 she was among the first women ever selected for history.

Channel’s hit TV show “Alone.” Despite having MS, she survived solo for 57 days straight in a remote area of Vancouver Island with little more than her hunting knife and the wild foods and medicines she found there.

Among the many herbs she used for food and remedies, Usnea and Yarrow helped her completely heal a nasty wound she got while gutting a fish.

Dr. Nicole Apelian’s knowledge was vital to this book. Many of the plants, lichens, and mushrooms you’ll find in it are ones that she’s used with excellent results. The remedies you’ll find in this book are not, by any means, exhaustive. But she has selected some of the best for people who want to treat themselves naturally with what they can grow and harvest where they live.

Claude Davis

Claude Davis is a Wild West history expert and the chief editor at askaprepper.com. His primary focus is to save the survival skills of our grandparents. He’s also the author of the bestselling book, “The Lost Ways – Saving Our Forefathers’ Skills.”

While most people tend to be obsessed with everything “new”—with technology, smartphones, social media, and cars that drive themselves—he has always been intrigued by what he believes was a happier, wiser, healthier America: a country of more independent people, who took responsibility for themselves, who were proud of being American, and who dreamed of building a better world.

He thinks that progress has brought us so many good things, but things used to be much better in many ways.

We are smarter—but we’re not wiser. We own more stuff—but the stuff we don’t need. And we live longer lives—but we’re not healthier.

Consumerism has reached epic proportions, and people feel aggrieved if they don’t own the latest gadget.

The truth is, we have never been more disconnected from life, from the world, from the soil, from the plants, and our souls.

Claude’s goal with The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies was to save the most potent remedies that we’ve lost to history and separate the actual cures from the bogus ones that do not affect them. 

Acknowledgments 

Nicole: I would first and foremost like to thank my mentors from around the globe. They have taught me well, opened my eyes to the healing powers all around us, and freely shared their knowledge and wisdom. I hope I have done them justice here on these pages as I pass on everything they have taught me, especially for future generations.

Huge thanks to my San community in the Kalahari and how they look at their land as a grocery store and

as a pharmacy. They gave me new eyes from which to see our landscape here in North America. Thank you to my sons, Colton and Quinn, mostly when I spent long hours writing, for understanding the deep need for this

book to come into the world. I am a huge thanks to my co-author Claude Davis and Anne-Marie, for their excellent formatting skills, oversight, and hard work.

A significant debt of gratitude for the modern researchers around the world who are doing the all-important work of finally bringing forth the scientific evidence that these herbal remedies do work. Just as important are the storytellers. Without them, these oral traditions and remedies would have been lost. I hope that this book will help keep these remedies alive and that more and more people will realize the power of nature connection, herbal medicine, and traditional wisdom.

Of course, my most immense gratitude is to the plants, lichens, and mushrooms that help us grow and heal. Without them, I wouldn’t be here walking amongst you today.
