Description
Early American Herb RecipesFor early American households, the herb garden was an all purpose medicine chest. Herbs were used to treat apoplexy (lily of the valley), asthma (burdock, horehound), boils (onion), tuberculosis (chickweed, coltsfoot), palpitations (saffron, valerian), jaundice (speedwell, nettles, toad flax), toothache (dittander), hemorrhage (yarrow), hypochondria (mustard, viper grass), wrinkles (cowslip juice), cancers (bean leaf juice), and various other
For early American households, the herb garden was an all-purpose medicine chest. Herbs were used to treat apoplexy (lily of the valley), asthma (burdock, horehound), boils (onion), tuberculosis (chickweed, coltsfoot), palpitations (saffron, valerian), jaundice (speedwell, nettles, toad flax), toothache (dittander), hemorrhage (yarrow), hypochondria (mustard, viper grass), wrinkles (cowslip juice), cancers (bean-leaf juice), and various other ailments. But herbs were used for a host of other purposes as well -- and in this fascinating book, readers will find a wealth of information on the uses of herbs by homemakers of the past, including more than 500 authentic recipes, given exactly as they appeared in their original sources.Selected from such early American cookbook classics as Miss Leslie's Directions for Cookery, Mary Randolph's The Virginia Housewife, Lydia Child's The American Frugal Housewife, and other rare publications, the recipes cover the use of herbs for medicinal, culinary, cosmetic, and other purposes. Readers will discover not only how herbs were used in making vegetable and meat dishes, gravies and sauces, cakes, pies, soups, and beverages, but also how our ancestors employed them in making dyes, furniture polish, insecticides, spot removers, perfumes, hair tonics, soaps, tooth powders, and numerous other products. While some formulas are completely fantastic, others (such as a sunburn ointment made from hog's lard and elder flowers) were based on long experience and produced excellent results.
More than 100 fine nineteenth-century engravings of herbs add to the charm of this enchanting volume -- an invaluable reference and guide for plant lovers and herb enthusiasts that will "delight and astound the twentieth-century reader." (Library Journal).

It’s so comfortable!! Perfect cooling, soft to the touch, perfect length (I’m 5’4) it’s fluffy and firm. There is a little weight to it but still very nice!!

Great for hot 🥵 sleepers!!
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this body pillow!!! It is a nice looking pillow, silky on the cooling side and comfy on the bamboo side. The size is perfect and it really is cooling for someone like me that is menopausal and sleeps very hot 🥵🥵🥵 It keeps me comfortable all night.. I like the amount of fill inside the pillow. As a side sleeper with back pain the thickness of the memory foam keeps my spine aligned perfectly and doesn't flatten out. Best purchase I've made for cooling comfort at a decent price point!!

Nice and adjustable by removing stuffing
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1), Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
I really like this pillow.
It fluffs up huge, and you can throw it in the dryer to fluff it up faster.
It’s soft, cozy, and cooling with the cool side of the cover.
What I really love about it though is you can remove stuffing easily to adjust the size and weight. It’s pretty big and heavy.
It was a bit too puffy and heavy for my taste so I removed a garbage bags worth of stuffing and now it’s perfect!!
Great body pillow I totally recommend.

Nice Firm
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
So I don’t love this body pillow but I do like it. This is a great pillow for anything the only downside is that it’s super heavy. It’s not something you would throw around the house that’s for sure but it does do its job when I’m sleeping and need something in between my legs my knees. It’s nice and firm not floppy, it’s perfect for a body. It’s perfect height, I’m 5’4 so it is perfect length wise. If you’re looking for something fluffy and lightweight I wouldn’t suggest this pillow but if you’re looking for something you can use for say menstrual cramps or a bad back and simply just to have between your legs than this is the pillow you want. I recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind a little weight while making your bed. I give it 8:10.

Love this pillow!
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
Love this pillow. I bought 2. No weird smell and the cover is half cooling and half bamboo. It is also removable so that it can be washed. The inner pillow insert has a thin permanent cover on it to keep the shredded memory foam enclosed, this is standard compared to other memory foam pillows I've bought in the past. I got them on a used like new discount, and they were still vaccum sealed and truly like new. I couldn't be happier with these pillows, I am so glad I got 2.
