Mark your calendars because you’ll want this as a reliable resource!
This book has changed my life! I’ve had a decline in health this past year and it’s been taking awhile to figure out what’s going on. I’ve been adjusting my lifestyle and diet in order to help manage symptoms. This book Herbal Gut Health has been helping me manage things! It couldn’t have come at a better time and I sincerely thank Maria Noel Groves, NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the gifted ARC of this book.
Herbal Gut Health walks you through the science and anatomy of the body’s digestive system. The book explains why certain herbs and foods can help adjust and correct disregulated and sick digestive systems and organs, even specifying certain diseases and conditions.
The book categorizes herbs into their roles and properties such as bitters, carmetives, sours, astringent, antimicrobial, probiotic, and more! It also gives a ton of recipes for teas, tinctures, ointments, capsules, and more!
Honestly this book is a MUST-HAVE resource for your kitchen and improving your health. I will be reaching for this book constantly when I need support managing certain symptoms, improving overall gut health, and to know which herbs and plants to grow and grab in my garden!

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Book Review: *Herbal Gut Health* by Maria Noël Groves
Rating: 5 Stars
I rarely get this excited about a health book, but *Herbal Gut Health* by Maria Noël Groves truly deserves every bit of its five-star rating. Right from the moment I saw its gorgeous cover, I knew this was going to be something special. And it absolutely delivered.
Maria Noël Groves, a clinical herbalist with decades of hands-on experience, dives deep into the fascinating world of our digestive system. She doesn’t just offer quick fixes; instead, she carefully unpacks the science behind how our gut works and why maintaining a balanced microbiome is crucial—not only for digestion but for overall physical and mental wellness. What I appreciated most was how she connects an imbalanced gut to serious chronic issues like SIBO, leaky gut, IBS, and even GERD, all backed by emerging research on the gut’s role in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and cancer.
One of the standout features of this book is how it organizes herbs according to their healing roles—bitters, carminatives, sours, astringents, antimicrobials, probiotics—you name it. This makes it incredibly easy to understand which herbs serve what purpose and when to use them. Plus, the wealth of recipes for teas, tinctures, ointments, and capsules turns this guide into a practical toolkit for anyone wanting to incorporate herbal remedies into their daily routine.
I honestly can’t recommend *Herbal Gut Health* enough. It’s become my go-to resource whenever I want to manage digestive symptoms or simply boost my gut health. Whether you’re growing your own medicinal garden or just want to know which herbs to pick up at the store, this book has you covered. If you care about your health and love natural remedies as much as I do, this is a must-have addition to your kitchen bookshelf.

Thank you Hachette Book Group, Storey Publishing, LLC, and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. This very thorough and informative volume provides natural ways of alleviating digestive issues and improving digestion by incorporating balanced lifestyle practices and adopting healthier eating habits. It would be prudent to consult with a medical professional before adding any herbs or supplements to prevent unwanted interactions with medications and/or exacerbating any existing medical conditions. Otherwise, it could be a great starting point when talking to a doctor about adopting a healthier lifestyle and/or checking any symptoms.
