The Best Herbal Medicine Recipes: Natural Healing with Herbs
Rise of Herbal Medicine
In this post, we’ll explore herbal medicine recipes that are simple to make and can be used for a variety of common ailments. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your immune system, relieve a sore throat, or treat skin issues, there’s a recipe here for you. Let’s dive into the world of herbal medicine and discover how you can use these powerful plants in your daily routine!
Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to heal and nourish the body. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in herbal medicine recipes as people seek alternatives to conventional medicine. Many are turning to herbs for everyday health support, from immune-boosting syrups to soothing teas and topical treatments.
Why Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine is a wonderful way to support overall health and well-being. It’s been practiced for thousands of years across different cultures. When used properly, medicinal herbs can help balance the body, support the immune system, and promote healing.
One of the biggest benefits of using herbal medicine recipes is their ability to strengthen the immune system. Many herbs, like elderberry and echinacea, are known for their immune-boosting properties. Others, like chamomile and peppermint, aid in digestive health and help relieve common stomach issues like bloating or indigestion.
In recent years, the popularity of using herbal medicine recipes, herbal supplements, herbal tinctures, and herbal infusions has skyrocketed. These natural alternatives to conventional medicine offer a gentle yet effective way to support the body. People are becoming more mindful of what they put in their bodies, turning to plants for their medicinal properties instead of relying solely on pharmaceuticals.
Herbal medicine is a key part of a holistic health routine. It works with your body, rather than masking symptoms, to help restore balance.
Popular Medicinal Herbs and Their Benefits
Herbal medicine offers a wide range of plants with unique medicinal properties. Let’s explore some of the most popular herbs and their benefits.

Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, elderberry helps fight infections and reduces the severity and duration of illness. It is often used in syrups and tinctures to support the immune system and promote faster recovery.

It is rich in vitamins and minerals, which help support overall health, making it a popular choice in herbal teas and tinctures. Nettle is also known to aid in detoxification and support a healthy immune system.

Elderberry Syrup: A Must-Have for Flu Season
Elderberry syrup is one of the best herbal remedies for boosting immunity and fighting off colds and flu. Known for its antiviral properties, elderberry can help reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms, making it a go-to during flu season.

Elderberry Syrup Recipe
This homemade elderberry syrup is a simple, effective way to boost your immune system, especially during cold and flu season. Packed with the immune-boosting properties of elderberries, echinacea, and rosehips, this syrup is easy to make and can be adjusted with different herbs based on your preferences. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
- 5 cups water
- 1 cup dried elderberries (organic preferred)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (or dried ginger as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup echinacea root
- 1/4 cup rosehips
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- 1 medium dried cayenne pepper (crush before adding)
- 1 cup raw honey (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
- Prepare the water: Pour 5 cups of water into a pot and set it on medium-low heat.
- Add the herbs: Add the dried elderberries, ginger, echinacea root, rosehips, cinnamon sticks, and cayenne pepper. Stir gently to combine.
- Simmer the mixture: Let the mixture come to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 1 to 2 hours, until the cinnamon sticks have softened, and the water level has reduced by at least 1 cup.
- Strain the syrup: Once the syrup has been reduced, strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove the herbs and berries. Let it cool to around 100°F (about body temperature).
- Add honey: While the mixture is cooling, add 1 cup of raw honey into a quart jar. Once the syrup has cooled, pour it into the jar and stir to combine.
- Store the syrup: Seal the jar with a leak-proof lid and allow the syrup to cool completely before storing it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Elderberry Syrup from Fresh Elderberries
This is a quick and simple elderberry syrup recipe for fresh elderberries. You can add in or omit herbs as necessary. Below is a video tutorial with short step-by-step instructions for my original recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups fresh and rinsed elderberries. Organic is always best when possible
- 1 sticks cinnamon
- 3-4 whole cloves
- 1-2 cups raw honey. Can add less or more to taste or use maple syrup as a substitute.
Instructions
1. Pour water into the pot while on medium to low heat
2. Add in all of the herbs and do a quick stir.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half.
4. Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or fine mesh strainer to remove any solids, leaving you with a smooth elderberry liquid. While allowing the mixture to cool to approximately 100 ℉, add your honey into the quart jar. Once the mixture is cooled, pour into the jar and stir.
5. Finally, pour the syrup into a glass jar or mason jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 months (sometimes even longer), or freeze it in ice cube trays for longer storage.

Equipment
- 1 double boiler or a pan with a towel at the bottom and a glass jar or measuring cup

Materials
Ingredients

- 1 cup cocoa butter mango butter, or shea butter (or a combination of these)
- 1 cup beeswax

- Melt the Ingredients: In a double boiler, combine the coconut oil, cocoa butter/shea butter/mango butter, and beeswax. If you don’t have a double boiler, place a towel at the bottom of a pan and set a glass jar or measuring cup on top. Fill the pan with water until it reaches halfway up the side of the jar or measuring cup. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are completely melted and combined.

- Pour into Container: Pour the mixture into a glass or tin jar for storage. Ensure the container is clean and dry before use.
- Cool and Solidify: Allow the mixture to cool and solidify completely. This can take several hours at room temperature or about an hour in the refrigerator.
- Store Properly: Store the lotion in a cool, dry place. For convenience, keep a small jar or tin container for easy access.
- Application: To use, take a small amount from the jar and rub onto the desired skin area. The warmth of your skin will melt a small amount of the lotion, providing a protective layer that repels insects.

- Seal the jar: Seal the jar with an airtight lid and place it in a warm spot, like a kitchen counter or pantry.
- Let the herbs infuse: Let the jar sit for no less than 3 weeks. Shake the jar at least once daily to help with the maceration process and to evenly infuse the vinegar with the herbal properties.
- Strain the herbs: After at least 3 weeks, strain the liquid using a mesh strainer. Compost the herbs and reserve the infused liquid.
- Heat the liquid: Pour the liquid into a medium-sized pot and warm it on low heat. Be sure not to overheat the mixture (keep it below 100°F) so the honey retains its medicinal properties.

Scientific Evidence and Herbal Medicine
Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health issues, and modern science is beginning to confirm their effectiveness. Research studies, including double-blind trials and clinical trials, have demonstrated the benefits of herbs like elderberry and echinacea for immune support, particularly in fighting colds and the flu. Elderberry, for example, has been shown in studies to reduce the duration and severity of flu symptoms, while echinacea is commonly used to boost the immune system and prevent infections.
However, while herbal medicine recipes show promise, it’s important to remember that herbal medicine is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Before starting any new herbal treatments—especially for people with existing health conditions or those taking prescription medications—consulting a healthcare provider is essential. Herbs can interact with medications or affect pre-existing health conditions, so it’s crucial to make sure any herbal remedy is safe and appropriate for your unique situation.

A home apothecary is a wonderful way to have essential herbal products on hand for everyday health support. Starting your own collection of tinctures, salves, syrups, and teas allows you to take a more active role in your wellness, and many simple herbal remedies are easy to prepare and store.
Start with basics like elderberry syrup, fire cider, and arnica salve—these are easy to make and incredibly effective for supporting the immune system and soothing sore muscles. Once you’re comfortable with these, you can expand to more advanced preparations like herbal tinctures.
To create a home apothecary, you’ll need a good source for dried herbs and fresh herbs. Look for trusted suppliers who offer organic, high-quality herbs. If you have the space, consider growing your own medicinal herbs at home for easy access to fresh ingredients. Building your home apothecary not only empowers you to take charge of your health but also allows you to enjoy the process of working with plants and creating your own natural remedies.
Safety Tips for Using Herbal Medicine Recipes
Herbs are a powerful tool in natural medicine, but it’s important to use them safely and responsibly. Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind:
- Start Small: When trying a new herb, begin with small amounts to see how your body responds. Herbs can have a strong effect, and it’s always better to start with a gentle approach.
- Proper Storage: Keep your dried herbs and herbal preparations in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Store tinctures and salves in glass jars with tight-fitting lids to preserve their potency.
- Monitor for Allergies: As with any new product, it’s important to monitor for allergic reactions when using a new herbal remedy. If you notice any irritation, itching, or discomfort, discontinue use and consult with your healthcare provider.
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal remedy, particularly if you are on prescription medications or have underlying health conditions. Some herbs may interact with medications, so it’s crucial to make sure the herbs you use are safe for you.
