What we have here, in simple terms, is a collection of short stories written by a Chinese-American author. We consistently see tales of emigration--families, children, students, hustlers, and others leaving China to restart their lives in the United States--and what that feels like for all involved. As I dug deeper into the book, I felt the weight of Chinese culture looming in the background, in ways I hadn't expected and ways I can't really articulate in a short review.

Ratings and Reviews
Younger characters are materialistic, lazy, opportunistic, and keen to emulate Western ways. Conventional treatment and popular over the counter drugs cost a lot of money. Home remedies for illness, on the other hand, can be made from ingredients found in every household. They are easy to prepare, and they offer instant relief without causing unnecessary side effects.
Second gen Chinese Americans go through bouts of mid life crisis, loneliness, weirdness while also doing Chinese-ish things like eating random pickled veggies and talking to their Chinese grandparents on the phone and paying respect to their parents hardships. I don’t typically like short stories cuz they feel like one night stands- weirdly intimate but always leaving me hanging. “Echo of the Moment” was my favorite of the collection, about a girl visiting Paris alone who finds herself in possession of a dead girl’s wardrobe.
The Doctors Book of Home Remedies – Penguin Random House
This was another story collection from the Tournament of Books longlist. “Fuerdai to the Max” – about second generation Chinese rich kids who are used to not being held accountable for their actions and what happens when that day of reckoning finally arrives. This was an interesting one and I loved the angle the author took in relaying the events as they unfolded. “For Our Children and For Ourselves” – about a rich, successful business woman arranging a marriage for her special needs daughter and the implications of that decision for all involved. This one was the most heartbreaking story for me, not necessarily because of how the story evolved, but the feelings evoked from what was not said – feelings that felt so familiar to me.
This makes them an ideal plant to grow in a container as a houseplant. Of course, this doesn't rule out the option of adding them to your garden too. An all-in-one health resource, packed with scientifically-backed alternative remedies for when help is unavailable.
The Modern Herbal Dispensatory
The writing was pretty good, but there wasn't much meat to sink my teeth in (or, should I say--there wasn't much soy curls to sink my teeth in, since I've stopped eating meat recently). This is a collection of stories about...what felt like the “modern” chinese, chinese american, chinese diaspora experience. THIS IS WELL WRITTEN- easy, poetic, emotional, interesting, moving. If you’re interested in learning more about herbal medicines and natural remedies—either to grow and harvest your own herbs or solely to further your knowledge—we’ve put together a curated list of our favorite books currently on the market. Some include recipes, others contain information about identifying herbs in their natural environment, but they all are comprehensive, straight-forward, and written by experts in the field.
I realize as I read all that back it sounds like I'm describing a travelogue, but Home Remedies isn't that at all. It's a swirl of characters built out of bundled observations, little bursts of thought and feeling, all perfectly rendered, somehow cohering into a series of tiny stories, but stories built on the backs of human-sized lives, if that makes sense. Xuan Juliana Wang experiments with form several times throughout the book, sometimes employing impressionistic lists but just as often keeping things straightforward on the structural front only to swerve into magical realism to keep us on our toes. Her characters are traced in electric prose but carved in relief, silhouettes painted on the page with just enough detail, just enough narrative to make them indelible and intoxicating, relatable but ultimately unknowable.
Its contents are not merely meant to help you in times of need, but to also guide you through a journey of healthy living. Dr. John Herzog, the author of this book, has summarized more than 20 years of orthopedic experience and scientific research into an easy-to-read 478-page guide. To maintain youth and vitality as people age, it is imperative to maintain appropriate eating habits. A healthy diet and exercise will keep people healthy and prevent dangerous diseases. One must have faith in a product that delivers positive outcomes.
This is one of those cases in which the author's being a "millennial" is incidental. “Algorithmic Problem Solving for Father-Daughter Relationships” – about a father who uses equations and algorithms to explain his relationship with his daughter, this was a fun one that depicts what happens when cultures clash within a family. “Vaulting the Sea” – a coming-of-age story about two synchronized divers on the verge of finding success at the Olympics. This was a beautifully rendered story that I felt was the most real in the way it dealt with the characters’ emotions and relationships. Big 7” x 9” hardbound book—made to last and share with future generations. Kinda disappointed, there aren’t many natural remedy’s in this.
Many reviewers also love the inclusion of essential oils and floral waters in the guide. Looking for chemical-free, safe ways to remedy common illnesses and problems? This is a great, illustrated resource packed full of information for anyone looking for safe home remedies to common problems like headaches, toothaches, nausea, burns, and allergies. This also includes helpful tips on most topics, like how to prevent certain problems and/or when further medical attention is needed.
This simple, step-by-step recipe guide will help readers prepare delicious soups, steaks, salads, smoothies, and many more dishes. That’s not all, the author goes a step further by including all the conditions that can be treated by a particular plant. The book goes into depth to explain what makes each plant tick. As a reader, you are not only presented with instructions but also given a tour of each plant and its healing properties. Dr. Herzog tries to eliminate any chance of misunderstandings by using subtopics to guide the reader.
