Unique Ways to Stay Healthy

Not only is this book absolutely beautiful to LOOK at, it's a very interesting read too! Such unique recipes for well being and preventive care. I can't wait to try making the herbal latte, or Kudzu Elixir! This book is full of Teas, Juices, Broths and smoothies that look just delicious! Lucky for me I already have a lot of the ingredients in this book because I have my own natural beauty product business, but for those of you who can't find these items locally, I suggest visiting MountianRoseHerbs.com They'll have everything you need just about. And they're all Organic.

Innovative and comforting

For such a small book (120p) I learned a lot. I am big on herbals for pleasure and medicine, but I learned a few tricks and some nice new recipies. If you like herbals, you probably know that chamomile tea calms nerves and pepperment is good for the heart and digestion; this nice little book goes a step beyond the typical things most herbal-enthusiasts know. I loved the Boullion au Herbes and the text with it, and the live culture tonic was facinating to me. The pictures are beautiful and sublte and soothing. The recipies are helpful and uplifting. The author exudes a pleasant sense which translates well into caring knowledge. In short, a gentle, helpful book worth having in your collection that I think a person would often refer to when needing an herbal uplift.

I think it was wonderful.

I loveed the idea you could revitlaze & get yourself well with natural remadys.These alternative remady's are wonderful to used in addition to the convetional.This book talks about adjust your diet with both food & herbs to care for yourself..
