Helpful Goat Books… and other stuff!

I have been asked many times if I plan on writing a book, and I’ve always hesitated due to the fact that a book is generally outdated by the time it is published. SO many new discoveries are made every day! Instead, I created an educational membership website with many online classes about both herbs and essential oils, plus other modalities! This option allows me to add updates to our classes as I see it come out! I invite you to check it out: www.LOHLearning.com


Most of the links below are affiliate links through Amazon, so if you click in through the links I provide here on this page I get credit from Amazon, which helps me pay for my website and continue to provide you with lots of neat info!  It also allows people to use their Amazon Points (money off any Amazon purchase), and many times the books are offered with free shipping available through Amazon Prime (free 2-day shipping).

Books I like:

Levy book

The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable by Juliette Levy. With the growing interest in organic farming and increasing concern about the diet of farm animals.


Detloff book

Alternative Treatments for Ruminant Animals by Paul Dettloff, DVM.  This covers many health issues of ruminants and natural ways to treat them.  Including mastitis, toxemia, ketosis, and SO many more.  He also discusses Nosodes (homeopathic) as natural “vaccinations” for CDT, mastitis, staph Au., CL, Lepto, Sore mouth… too many to list!


Nutrient Requirements book

Fallon book

Romm book

Naturally Healthy Babies & Children: A Commonsense Guide to Herbal Remedies by Aviva J. Romm.   When I first started on the road to natural healing and herbal information, this was a wonderful resource.  Lots of information for raising your 2-legged kids (yes, the human ones) in a healthy way. 🙂


I have the following books available at my online store, Land of Havilah Herbals:

Herbal Home Health Care

Herbal Home Health Care by Dr. John Christopher – This is one of the textbooks in the SNH Family Herbalist course. It is wonderful, and has some formulas in it along with info about herbal application, etc.

The School of Natural Healing


School of Natural Healing (The Centennial Edition)
by Dr. John R. Christopher – This is an excellent herbal resource. Includes lots of recipes to make your own herbal formulas.

Dr. Mom's Healthy Living pic


Dr. Mom’s Healthy Living
by Sandra Ellis.  This may be one of my all time favorite books! Sandra is the mother of several children, and this book begins with a chapter on how she used herbs to overcome many health issues – from minor to serious – all while she was a student at The School of Natural Healing. It is faithbuilding!

I also have many other books available on my online store.
