Anyone recommend a good herbal remedy healing book?

Genuinely curious, can you give me a "for instance" on the Russian remedy's?
For example, at least in my family we have been using a tea to cure colds, flu, and everything in between for generations, and its a mix of rosehip, milkthistle, chemomile, rubus, yarrow and blackcurrant herbs. I know these are all readily available herbs and probably nothing new, but I could probably get a medium to talk to my great great great great grandmother and she will swear by the efficacy.

Most of those herbs are great on their own as well.

Another one is a cure for pnemonia which is popular from finland all the way down to ukraine, placing hot jars on to your back. I know, sounds freaking strange, but it works. Run this through google translate, because if you try to reverse search in english you will never find it: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Медицинская_банка

A few that are probably quite normal these days and are well known:

Swallow a clove of garlic when you have a cold or flu for its antibiotic properties.

Boiling fresh sunflower seeds into a tea that helps with heart and blood circulation

Lemonbalm tea for digestive and nerve health

Rubbing ground carrot root into your hair to prevent hair loss

Beets and beet juice for just about everything (common in our Borsch soup)
