My Thoughts

Immediately I felt the love and care that went into writing this book. As someone who creates content, I could tell a lot of timeEveryday roots and thought went into creating it.

There are loads of pictures and simple, clear instruction. Also, almost all the recommended ingredients come from just a few sources, which is convenient.

I'd been wanting to reduce plastic use and toxic fumes of cleaning products. So, my first project was creating the cleaner for our garbage disposal which sometimes off-gasses and smells pretty bad. To my surprise, it worked AMAZINGLY well.

Everyday rootsAnd, I didn't know making liquid laundry detergent is one of the easiest DIY projects ever! Just 4 ingredients. Best of all, the whites might actually be whiter…sans the bleach. No doubt because she instructs how much soap to use. Did you know using too much detergent actually makes your clothes dirtier? dingier? Using more detergent is not the answer to cleaner clothes.

Everyday rootsAnd the recipe for oatmeal baths… I'm certain I'll make more for Christmas gifts this year.

For me, the gold in Everyday Roots was the recipes for personal and cleaning products. I'm making the Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub and a dish soap next.

To sum up, Everyday Roots took me deeper into a more natural way of living, that I feel good about.

  1. Nice review of everyday roots. Your site has some expressive ideas and really gets the reader excited to know more about natural living. I never knew it was possible to make your own detergents or cleaning products or that using too much detergent makes your clothes dirtier. Very interesting ideas that could put people off using those everyday harmful chemicals or medications that are probably doing more harm than good.

  2. Very interesting article on everyday roots, so many cures are just waiting us in everyday roots. The way we are destroying the habitats this might not be possible one day, more people should take advantage while we can. Nothing is a better cure than a natural one.

    Interesting article and products you have shared today, great website.

  3. I like the idea of a book like this and I agree with you that a glossary is a very desirable part of any book, especially one like this. I like the fact that it isn’t limited to one type of DIY products. Is there a way to see a sample of a couple of recipes to see what kinds of ingredients she uses? I have found that there are so many different people out there writing books and they don’t always agree on what is healthy and what is not.

    • Great questions Sue! Depending on what condition is being addressed, thinks like herbal teas, green teas, plant roots like ginger, honey, baking soda, epsom salt, essential oils, natural oils, dried herbs, fresh herbs, her own chicken soup recipe, apple cider vinegar… Some remedies are applied topically and some are taken internally. Like for instance her cough syrup recipe includes 4 herbs + honey. I hope this helps.

  4. A friend of mine is really into essential oils, homeopathics and natural remedies. She actually recommended Everyday Roots to me. I wanted to look into it some more so of course I headed to google.

    You have provided a lot of information and it seems like a book that would probably be good for me as I don’t have much knowledge in this area. But now that I have 2 young children I want to do things in a more natural way.

    It’s unfortunate that the book is only available as a downloadable pdf. I would love a paper copy to keep on my bookshelf. We don’t have a printer right now so I would have to keep going down to my computer when I want to look something up.

  5. I suffered from daily headaches for years and I swear medication made it worse. In fact they only went once I’d stopped taking all medication and had my little boy.

    This sort of thing is so interesting and I love that she includes household recipes with health and beauty recipes too.

    Great review!

    • Hi Claire, I totally agree… sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. My biggest goal after age 40 was to avoid prescription drugs. Thanks for commenting.

  6. Hi. I am interested in natural detergent or cleaning products. And actually I have been making my own laundry detergent for years now. When I read your article, I am definitely interested in reading Everyday Roots. I want to prevent chemical products as much as I can and your website seems helping me for that! Thank you!

    • Thanks for commenting Naomi! You go girl! You’re way ahead of me. I’ve only just begun making my own soaps and I must say, it’s pretty satisfying. 🙂

  7. Great information on the book!!
    The book seems a “must have”. It is much needed in today’s life. It has all the essential tips and recipes from health benefits to beauty conditions to household.
    I wasn’t aware, that toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant can be made in home using the herbs and plants. This book is very interesting and amazing.

  8. Oh my goodness, what an excellent review of a fascinating book! The oatmeal bath looks absolutely luxurious, and I’m intrigued by the recipes for cleaning products as well. Who would think you could make all this at home? Thanks for letting us know about this excellent resource. And who ever heard of a lifetime membership to give access to future editions? Genius.

  9. I too feel the need to make home made cleaning supplies. However, I have never tried making home made laundry detergent. I will have to keep this in mind. There are so many harmful chemicals in what we all consider mainstream brands. I think people need to pay more attention to the ingredients in the products we choose to use everyday.

    • I agree…toxic chemicals poison our water and land. I’m making the shift to more natural cleaning products and it’s working so far! :)Thanks for commenting Scott!

    • Hi Mary! It’s a good one. I’m constantly referring to my copy and have made all sorts of things. Be sure to come back and tell me about if you decided to pick it up and how you like it? xo 🙂
