I found this book first at the library and I loved it so much I wanted to have it. It goes through lots of herbs that can be used as teas and what kinds of useful properties they have. It's very easy to understand.
I am surrounded or know many people who need information and guidance to a healthy & better life. I came across this book in the Natural food store and was drawn to the title of this book. I was already into herbal teas, but was still hungry for more information. This small book has a lot of information. and more. I have been going to the Natural Health food stores and constantly searching for more information so I can help myself & others.
Thanks to Kevin Trudeau's book, I know for a fact that those drugs were absolutely no good and extremely dangerous.
A little more than 2 years before I purchased this book, I had stopped taking those (OTC) Over The Counter meds/ drugs.
In chapter 5 its an herbal guide to health.
I am more than satisfied with all that I have read.
I began reading it soon as I arrived home.
I didn't feel that those products were effective.
I felt like my symptoms were just temporarily suppressed, because the symptoms kept coming back.
In this A-Z guide you can look up your current health problems, and find the names of the herb like acid reflux, adrenal glands, air purifier, asthma, blood clots, blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation,herpes simplex.
In chapter 6 you will be informed about each herb listed; the history, benefits, and guidance so that you can become a smart consumer.
Souci is a French word for marigold. Based on the Zen principle that "how you do anything is how you do everything", I would say this book is primarily invented by the author. Souci du jardin simply means garden marigold. I started looking at her "translations" of the herb names and was floored by her bogus information. For instance, she says that Calendula in France was called "souci du jardin" or, according to Zak "sauce of the garden". She also says that souci du jardin can mean "sun follower"--completely made up. She has other howlers in the book, mixed in with accurate stuff--my concern is that if some of the writing seems sloppy and improvised, then for something like medicinal herbal information a reader would do better to go to one of the standard publications on herbal medicines and tonics.
I have been reading this book every night before retiring to bed and I am very intrigued by the information in the book. I am a bit disappointed that there is no mentioned on recommended manufacturer's of tea. Other wise; the book is a good read.
I gave this book as a gift, but noticed it had a lot about herbs as well as teas. Nice
