Interesting, but lacking in evidence and rather outdated.

Wonderfully informative book. Well researched and a great reference to have for my next ailment.

A quaint little reference to healing teas. I brought this one to college and it was a great source of knowledge for me. It's a tea encyclopedia, focusing mostly on the medicinal properties of herbal teas on humans. It's not too in-depth, and I'll usually cross reference when I use it, but it gets the information across.

Plus points for mentioning some herbs that are really useful but not that widely known.
Negative points for not always mentioning relevant and important information. You should always take slippery elm for instance far away ( best is 2 hours after and before) from taking supplements, medicine, food.
Drinking tea can be dangerous when you don't know the medicinal effects of the herbs in it.

This is a fine introduction to herbs for healing but I would have liked to have seen more detail about creating tea blends.

Meh, ok. Was looking for specific historical info but only got a lot of general stuff. No footnote for the claims about health benefits. I got the same info I glean off marketing packaging.

Reference page was small, in my opinion.

This was more like a ‘pep talk’ about drinking herbal tea over manufactured meds.

I don’t even know what 20,000 secrets were?!

A friend lent this to me - definitely inspiration to drink more tea! I may pick up a copy of my own.

Very informative but with a brief, helpful layout - both by symptoms and by herb.
