Description

Ouma's Kitchen Apothecary is a 113-page digital guide to 101 gentle home remedies: the teas, steams, balms, rubs and syrups South African grannies have trusted for generations.

Every recipe sits on one clear card with exact amounts, simple steps and a safety note, made from rooibos, ginger, honey and the herbs already in your cupboard.

Is this a physical book?

No. It's a digital PDF you download straight away. Read it on your phone, tablet or laptop, or print the pages you use most.

How do I get it after I pay?

Your download link is emailed to you as soon as your payment goes through, usually within about 2 minutes. You'll also see it on your order confirmation page. If it's not in your inbox, check your spam or promotions folder.

Where do I buy the herbs?

Most of what you need is probably already in your kitchen. Everything else is at Checkers, Clicks or your local health shop.

Can I print it?

Yes. Print the whole book or just the pages you use most and keep them on the fridge.

Best thing I bought last winter. When the cold hit, the honey and ginger steam really helped, and everything was already in my cupboard. I printed my favourite pages for the fridge.

My go-to when someone is sick

I look up what is wrong, tap, and the recipe is right there. The honey and lemon syrup was a hit with my kids and I did not need a pharmacy run at 9pm. Worth every cent.

Just like my ouma's cupboard

It reminds me of my gran's kitchen. The amounts are clear and the safety notes on every recipe make me feel good about using it for the whole family. Downloaded in minutes.

Easy to follow on my phone

I read it in bed on my phone and found the sleep teas in seconds. Everything I needed was at Checkers. The layout is so simple.

Shared it with my mom

I sent the PDF to my mom and she printed her favourite rooibos and ginger pages for her fridge. She keeps asking for more. Easy to follow, even for her.

The sleep teas are my favourite

I wasn't sure what to expect for the price but I use it every week now. Calming teas in the evening, a steam when the winter chest hits. Really practical.

Rooibos for everything

So many ideas using things I already have at home. The recipe cards are short and clear and the whole family has tried at least three. Highly recommend.
