Customer Reviews

Have tried some of the remedies.

I stumbled over this book while in community college. In May of 2000, I had a regular pap smear done and there was a diagnosis of cervical dysplasia. Though I could not afford to get my cervix scraped, I figured why wait to find out if it was genital warts. I took the 21 day chapparal cleanse. Later on, a pap smear was redone and there were no signs of abnormal cells. And also when I had a herpes break-out, chapparal gave me such relief. Chapparal, just as any other potent herb should be used with good instruction and I believe Lalitha knows what she is talking about.

My Right Hand Man

I have a large library of natural healing and nutritional books and this book is ALWAYS the one that works for me, our family and even our pets. Lalitha has written a masterpiece in this book and everything she features in it is easy to get and some of it probably grows in your yard or somewhere near by. I have personally seen terrible conditions healed quickly and thoroughly with remedies laid out in this book, and I have two copies in case I can not find one in an emergency.The book is well laid out, easy to look up, excellent index and each herb has a delightful profile page. It is like a course in herbs and you will learn a lot.

This is a wonderful book!

This is a great book for anyone that wants to take responsibility for maintaining good health with herbs. The directions and recipes are simple and I like the little success stories scattered throughout the book. All of the herbs addressed are easy to come by too, so everyone can participate as much as they like. The author does use chaparral and comfrey internally, but no one should take any herb every day, and some people are allergic to pharmaceuticals and drugs too, so use common sense! This book is very inspirational, and I use many of the remedies myself.

Excellent material, easy to follow and very informative.

i use this book constantly. the herbs are easy to access, the material gives easy to follow information on how to incorporate the herbs into your life. it is excellent. i read herbal books constantly, and have quite a library. when i need information, or i need a remedy....this is the book i run to.

I use this book everyday and love it.

I am a mother of five and this book is the first book I grab for everyday ailments in our household. 10 Essentials has a down-to-earth quality that is lacking in medicinal herb field. This is the only book I have come across that covers the whole family from Grandparents to Infants. I also like the stories and quirky little poems Lalitha has to demonstrate and entertain. I especially like how she includes children in her teaching. I have passed that along to my own children. She keeps it short and sweet, just ten herbs, and very little prep to use natures medicine. I highly recommend this book.
