A Must-Have Herbal Reference.......2007-09-14

I have studied and used herbs since 1984. I own over 100 books,of all kinds, on herbs yet this is the main book I continue to go to when researching an herbal remedy. I personally use several of the herbal combinations or a modified version of them myself on a daily basis with great success.

Pleasantly surprised by the information.......2007-05-12

I was pleasantly surprised by the information presented in the book. I purchased it for a quick reference. I quickly found myself reading page after page learning quite a bit about herbal remedies. I would recommend it to any one who is interested in healthy alternatives in addition to medications.

BEST Herbal Medicine book!!!!.......2004-05-19

This book is FANTASTIC!!! Go look in the pages and check out how they have their index. Most books' indexes you go to look up a word like *asthma* and you get page numbers that you go to and hope it's what you were looking for. In this book you look up asthma in the index and it shows you which herbs and the page numbers! That was worth the price of the book to me! Same with herb listings... you look up the herb and it tells you which ailment it will help and the page number to find it on.

Within the book you will find DETAILED explanations on which herbs to use, how much and how to apply them (i.e. gargling, teas, capsules, etc.)

This book will be my main herbal medicine book for years to come! Out of all my herbal books this one *by far* is the BEST book on herbal medicine that I have in my library! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone seeking natural alternatives to health!!

Herbal Medicine.......2000-06-11

I've studied herbs for years, and have collected many books on the subject, but of them all, Mowreys' book The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine holds a pre-eminent place. Well written,intelligently and solidly researched, this book stands head over shoulders above the plethora of herbal books that derive their information mostly from folklore and anecdotal reports. Mowrey's book seperates the "wheat from the chaff". Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

beautiful.......2006-01-08

I give this book four stars because of the beautiful artwork and wonderful recipes. Very beautifully illustrated and simple to follow. However I have one complaint: most of the herbal recipes call for mugwort which I cannot find. I haven't yet tried any of the recipes in here because of that but in my opnion it is very original and definitely a keeper.

Making Herbal Dream Pillows.......2005-07-13

Wonderful book! Jim Long has done alot of research into the origins of the pillows. Very informative compact book.

Not bad, not great.......2004-05-22

The recipes for making herbal pillows are good. However, the book only gives you one instruction for sewing a pillow. I guess I was hoping for more than one style.

Making Herbal Dream Pillows.......2004-05-04

We had to read a "how to"book for a reading project.Make the item and present a "book report".I found the book very interesting and easy to follow.The blends were simple to make,tho I did have some trouble finding all the herbs I needed for my pillow.I will be presenting my project to my class at the end of this week.

Just what I ws looking for!.......2003-11-08

This book was exactly what I'd been looking for! It has lots and lots of recipes, segmented by 8 different types of blends:
Stress-reducing relaxng dream blends (5)
Pleasant dream blends (2)
Romantiv Dream blends (4)
Creative dream blend (1)
Traveling dream blends (2)
Great outdoors blend (1)
Holiday blend (1)
Prophecy blend (1)

In the beginniong there are instructions on how to make a blend (selecting flowers, preparing them etc) as well as a section on making the pillow - its very easy - make a small bag, put in the blend then sew up the other end. I'm going to lok for really pretty fabrics that match the type of blend I'm putting in. one thing I find interesting is that there are no essential oils used -the author doesn't recommend them saying that they're too unpredictable and can create unpleasant dreams if they turn.

The recipes all have info about the specific flowers being used, and info on if the belnd was an ancient formula or what the source was. Its pretty cool. The book itself is beautiful - lots of wonderful drwings/colors - quite dreamy in itself.

This book is amazing. It is full of knowledge, to help one take care of the body. This should be the operating manual for the human body.

Can't think of a title.......2007-04-26

I wanted to think of a clever title but it escapes me. This book has been with me through the following years of age
16- menstrual cramps
24- pregnancy and childbirth
35- obesity and weight loss
49- menopause and the ever present private summers
55- aging gracefully
There is not an ailment or malady known to man that the Creator does not have a cure for! This is a good herb book albiet a little dated as one person commmented

Awful nutrition advice.......2007-01-31

Ugh. I picked up this book in a thrift store because I'm an herbalist and all-around naturalist, so of course I'd heard of Jethro Kloss and wanted to check out this classic. Before I read anything, I came across the pictures of his grandchildren. Right off, I could tell that these were not the offspring of well-eating people; they have crooked, pinched noses and narrow faces. A great percentage of people have these facial defects, myself included. They (including crooked teeth) are the hallmarks of terrible nutrition by our forebearers. I figured that Mr. Kloss must have been heavily into veganism, or at least vegetarianism. It was no surprise that when I read the book I saw Mr. Kloss' hatred of meat and dairy products. He basically suggests that people just eat vegetables, fruit juice, and grains. He even tells pregnant women to basically avoid all animal products, fish included, and load up on juice, veggies, and grains. I wonder how many problem pregnancies Mr. Kloss contributed to because of this advice. There is NOTHING natural about juice. Even worse, Mr. Kloss was big into soy. Soy is a nutritional disaster. Along with juice, there is absolutely nothing natural about eating unfermented soy. Besides being horrendous in the nutrition department, I feel that his beliefs smack of racism and classism, as in, "Educated and upper-class whites should be smart enough to avoid animal products, but those savages and idiots are just doing themselves in." Nevermind that nowhere on earth has there been an indigenous group of peoples who were voluntarily vegetarian or vegan (even if they were just eating bugs and grubs.) For wonderful information on nutrition, read Weston A. Price's "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," and/or Sally Fallon's "Nourishing Traditions."

Down to earth truth.......2007-01-15

If you dont have it , get it.
Use your common sense, and regain good health
The other reviews writtten are right on target.

Some concepts are dated, but overall, a good health guide.......2006-02-28

In the book, Mr. Kloss said of all diseases, "God has invented the cure and is waiting for man to discover it." The longer I practice as a pharmacist, the more I realize he was right.

Some of his ideas - especially about cancer, diabetes, and infectious disease - are now known to be erroneous (herbal tea enemas ARE NOT cure-alls!) but it's an excellent guide to herbal medicine, and does mention herbs which should not be used by certain people. It also gives details about things like salt glows and hot fomentations, which probably won't cure anything but may at least make the person feel better.

Promise Kloss Moffett died in 2003, five days before her 100th birthday.

Great resource!!.......2004-11-24

This is a great book for learning how to make any kind of herbal remedy, including medicinal wines/vinegars, salves, syrups, skin-care, you name it. They tell you what herbs work best for different health problems, and how to make special blends for immunity (which has always been a problem; I have two young sons, and I always get sick from them, plus I live in Michigan). I could go on and on about all the great stuff in this book, but you'll just have to find out for yourself! I also like the fact that there aren't a lot of exotic ingredients in the recipes; most of the herbs or other ingredients can be found at a health food store or grown in your garden. This book is a great bargain; I found it for less than $5.00 at a local bookstore, but I sure got my moneys worth!

It's OK but it is not great.......2002-09-08

I bought both "The Herbal Body Book" and her book "The Herbal Home Spa". I have tried several recipes from both books. Some work ok, but others are not worth the effort. For example, a cleansing lotion as thin as water ( no exaggeration), or a shampoo that left my hair feeling worse than before I washed. Not all recipes are bad, and some are downright fun to make and use. I don't regret these as a starter, but rather than buy the rest of her series, I will switch to another author.

It dosen't worth [it]!!!.......2002-06-17

Very few recipes compared to the same kind of books.Plus there is nothing new in her recipes. All is "dèja Vu" recipes.
[In my opinion you should]save your money buy other better book...
Such as "Natural recipes for perfect skin"by Pierre Jean Cousin also 128 pages but full of recipes and informations, beautiful photos enclose.
Or "Herbal body book"by Jeanne Rose 400 pages real herbal body recipes VS this book only 128pages.

So many of the recipes in Ms. Tourles great book have become staples in my beauty regime. The Minty Astringent is great in the hot summer weather to cool and refresh your complexion. The pH Restorer Facial Steam is wonderful for bringing a healthy glow to tired worn out skin. One of the first few books that I collected on the subject of make it yourself beauty products, I still refer to it very often.

Full of ideas that make great gifts........1999-12-11

Not only is this book full of natural and easy to make beauty concoctions, it's recipes often make great gift items. The book suggests some creative packaging options, and the creative person will be able to think of many more on their own. Some of the ingredients are a challenge to come by, but between the resources referenced in the book, and searching the Internet, you should be able to track most of them down.

Nowadays Western spa treatments go far beyond skin deep. As Eastern spa owners have known for centuries, the best way to achieve health and beauty is to offer a spa experience that cares for the whole person, not just a person's skin, nails, or weight problem. As a result, meditation classes, herbal tonics, and aromatherapy are now commonplace spa offerings. In Well Being, Barbara Close (cousin of Glenn), the founder of Naturopathica, a full-service holistic spa in East Hampton, New York, teaches readers how to bring these remarkably healing and seemingly elusive spa remedies into their daily lives.

Close starts with an inviting chapter on beginning meditation and then moves into practical discussions on how to use fresh herbs for replenishing spirits and healing the skin. She arranges her advice around the four seasons, offering ideas for cold soothing teas in the winter and homemade sunburn salves in the summer. Although this is a practical, hands-on book with very specific advice, it's also exquisitely lovely to look at. Photographer Susie Cushner offers a wide range of sensual images, such as a woman washing her hair, a still life with a cup of herbal tea, and numerous seasonal landscapes. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

From starting a busy day with an energizing juice boost to squeezing in a yoga class after work, rejevenating personal rituals have slowly become part of our daily lives. Luxurious beauty treatments such as aromatherapy, herbalism, and massage are no longer limited to special occasions and the day spa. Well Being takes an intimate, sensual approach to self-care, with simple recipes and ideas that will make you feel as if you're pampering yourself from the inside out. Slide your toes into an aromatic rosemary foot bath, sip a restorative pear elixer, ease dry skin with a soothing herbal balm. Just a small pantry of herbs and essential oils are needed to prepare the health and beauty recipes in Well Being. Arranged seasonally, it offers recipes for all that ails: steaming teas and cold soothers ease the winter chills, refreshing baths and mists counter the climatic fluctuations of spring, cool tonics and compresses quench summer's dry skin and sunburn. Lavishingly photographed throughout, Well Being is an irresistible volume of refreshing daily comforts that will nurture the body as well as the soul.

What a beautiful book!.......2001-05-20

I bought this on a whim when it was recommended to me and couldn't be more thrilled with this purchase! What a beautifully presented book, packed with rejuvenating recipes for inner and outer health and beauty, and written with the beginner in mind. It is very informative, easy to follow, and the ingredients can easily be found by anyone near a health food store or internet access. It's apparent that Barbara Close knows what she's doing as an aromatherapist and I can only imagine that her holistic spa must be absolutely wonderful considering the attention, care and fine taste that went into this book. I plan to give copies of this as gifts and am sure anyone who receives it will be as enthralled with it and ready to try their own recipes as I am. Five stars!

Well Being.......2000-11-11

Great recipes and this book will be an inspiration for those long winter days and evenings. What a great way to take care of yourself!

Great recipes, makes a great gift.......2000-06-27

This is a wonderful book that teaches you how to use essential oils and herbs to cure common ailments. After reading this book and trying some of the recipes I truly believe that by sensibly using aromatherapy, herbalism, massage and healthy food you can live more naturally and improve your quality of life.

The book starts out with a brief history. Then you find first aid charts, one for herbs and another for essential oils. The charts include the name, properties, common uses and any hazards of each item. Instructions for preparing and using them in teas, infusions, decoctions, tinctures, ointments, inhalations and vaporization follow. There is also a great list of carrier and herbal infused oils.

Next, there are forty recipes arranged by seasons focusing of different aspects such as rejuvenation and sensuality. Spring includes recipes for a delicious pear elixir and calendula salve. Summer features a natural pleasant smelling insect repellant, a tea tree oil antiseptic and a citrus body splash. Autumn includes a wonderful grapefruit exfoliating paste and rosemary infused massage oil. Winter contains a tasty recipe for garlic soup, a chamomile face serum and a peppermint thyme inhalation.

The Art of Aromatherapy: The Healing and Beautifying Properties of the Essential Oils of Flowers and Herbs .......2005-11-08

This is a great book for both the beginner and practising Aromatherapist. His health of knowledge is clearly demonstrated in the discussion on essential oils - It's a must.

Tisserand is one of the foremost authorities on Aromatherapy and has published many books.

In our natural therapy college, we strongly recommend his books to all our medical aromatherapy students. It's on our Bookshelf and we use it regularly.
The lack of an in-depth index is a bit troublesome, however, after you've read the book you'll have less and less trouble finding what you want.

Too difficult to research.......2000-07-27

This book may contain great information, but unless you're committed to sitting down and reading it cover to cover, this won't be your most helpful resource. This book has no index in the back, so if you want to look up a specific topic, you've only got chapter and section headings, and then you have to scan through pages and pages to find what you're looking for. I've got 4 aromatherapy books, and I barely ever crack this one open because it's too much work to find what I'm looking for. There are much better books out there!

The Art of Aromatherapy.......2000-06-15

The Art of Aromatherapy, written by one of the foremost experts in Aromatherapy, Robert Tisserand, is a wonderfully packed book for beginners in the study of Aromatherapy. Filled with basic information on essential oils and how to use them, he goes on to add how essential oils are used by the body through inhallation. How these scents affect the digestive system, cardio-vascular system, lymph system etc. He discusses skin care, massage, gives some excellent aromatic recipes, covers 28 oils in depth, includes a glossary of medical terms, and a therapeutic index. I think this is a must for the beginner, who wants good, solid information on Aromatherapy.

Comprehensive , informative, and a pleasure to read........2000-06-01

As a serious aromatherapist, I highly recommend this book for a variety of reasons. The subject matter that Tisserand delves into is quite diverse, and extremely interesting. The basics of essential oils are explained in readily understandable terms, which ties in nicely with a descriptive narrative of their use in ancient times. Chinese principles of Yin/Yang, life force, and organics is also discussed. I particularly enjoyed the religiosity that Mr. Tisserand incorporates into this chapter! To broaden the subject matter further, reasons why aromas effect us is presented in detail, followed by uses of oils in the specific body systems, as well as those which are used for treating the mind. The book introduces baths, various massage techniques, and skin care utilizing oils. Also provided are many simple but useful recipes and clear instructions. The second half of this excellent book discusses 29 essential oils themselves in great detail. What is totally unique are the authors' tables. They compare odor intensity, evaporation rate, whether an oil is Yin or Yang, and which planet rules it! The glossary of medical terms is a must for any serious aromatherapy student, as is the therapeutic index. Recent safety precautions are listed, and should be reviewed. Finally, The Art Of Aromatherapy has a wonderful, CURRENT list of available sources for the purchase of quality oils. It is obvious to me why this book has become an international best-seller. I unequivocally recommend it to anyone interested in aromatherapy, which truly is an art.

Book Description

As doctors rush to prescribe the new wonder drug Viagra, few realize that nature already provides a number of safe, natural ways to boost sexual desire, pleasure, and fulfillment. Sex Herbs presents a comprehensive description of these alternative products, ranging from the common, such as the cooking herbs fennel and anise, to the obscure, like yohimbe and gingko biloba. For women, there are the enhancing powers of the rare herb epimedium and the popular Mexican elixir Damiana; for men, the Chinese herb wolfberry, which raises testosterone levels, and the South American substance quebracho with proven male potency powers. Sex Herbs also shows how lifestyle changes like dieting, exercising, and stress reduction can improve sexuality, and it looks at the impact of such health conditions as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Good for Women as Well as Men.......2000-04-19

I was hesitant to read this book, thinking it would be more about men and viagra alternatives, but it had lots of information for women, too. Each herb is explained fully -- what it can do for you sexually, any other health benefits, any side effects, etc. Recipes using the herbs are also included.

Excellent!.......1999-12-23

My husband and I were hesitant to use Viagra because of the numerous side effects we were aware of. This book gives excellent alternatives to it, and fully informs one of what to expect. I would highly reccomend "Sex Herbs" to anyone who has been struggling with this issue!
