Healing Teas: A Practical Guide to the Medicinal Teas of the World -- from Chamomile to Garlic, from Essiac to Kombucha

"Healing Teas" is perfect for the beginner interested in the benefits and uses of herbal teas. For the most part the book is laid out in an easy to read formatt.My only complaint is that the book does not have an in-depth list of ailments and their herbal remedies. Instead the book offers a four page table with some common ailments worded quite generally and then lists up to ten different plants that can potentially help. This generalization bothers me because shaking due to neverous tension is quite different than having a nerve block. Likewise, both conditions should be diagnosed and treated differently. However, the book describes these problems simply as: Nervous related problems. So, beware that "Healing Teas" is not intended to serve as a manual for curing your specific illnesses rather the book offers more generall information.Despite this small discrepancy, "Healing Teas" offers excellent information, especially if you are a first time brewer of herbal teas. I have learned a significant ammount of herbal tea history through this book, as well as helpful information on interesting herbs that I now incorporate into my diet.Overall, you won't go wrong with buying "Healing Teas". This book will make a fine addition to your health library.

i like this book because it lists the medicinal properties of each herb she mentions. what i did not like was there were no recipes for blends of herbs, only simples.(teas from one plant). i use this book with "Medicinal Teas" by jennifer browne. browne's book contains many recipes but not the property of the herb. together they compliment each other. i use this book and will be buying more of each book for gifts.

If you love Tea or you new to Tea this is a great little book

The author of this simple yet effective book on herbal teas wins your respect because she picks out her favorite teas and does her homework on them. I only wish there were an updated version of this book as research information has changed somewhat and new information is available. Noteworthy and also respectable is the inclusion of important cautions about any herbal teas that might not be safe for persons with various medical conditions. This is not a scientific book as we think of it. It's written for the lay person and based on some research the author did, absent scientific writing standards. All in all, it's one of the few good books out there on teas.

Love it, thank you.

Informatable for anyone on a tea journey.
