 Interesting but some recipes contain meat!! April 13, 2007
Val Pavlik (Long Beach, CA, USA)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I would have given this book 3 stars for the tips the author gives, but everything else is just 2 stars or less. A book titled "Healing Tonics" gives you the impression that it's all about healing drinks containing herbs, fresh fruit & vegetables. Unfortunately some recipes contain meat (chicken, oysters) and some other products that I don't believe contribute to a healthful life in any way (butter, etc). Although those items were not in the author's recipes, they were in recipes from her contributors (other herbalists). If I had looked through the book in a bookstore first, I wouldn't have purchased it.
Delightful compilation August 16, 2006

I am really rather pleased with what was an impulse buy. It's a small book but has a number of fascinating tonic mixtures in tea, tincture and cordial form (with even one mix for topical application). The tonics are for all sorts of requirements: men's problems, womens' life phases, digestive problems, stress relief, vitality boosters, circulatory tonics, etc. The receipes from experienced herbalists appear to be extremely good and I am looking forward to some experimentation using them. The only reason I haven't given it a full 5 stars was that I think the small materia medica at the rear could have been even better if contraindications were more fully covered but it does show those that are inappropriate for pregnant people and give a few contraindications to consider. A interesting book for those interested in herbalism.
 Provide a natural boost to your immune system! October 13, 2000

Here is a wonderful book of recipes that are not only delicious but provide a natural boost to your immune system and overall good health. The book highlights such fantastic herbalists as Rosemary Gladstar, Christopher Hobbs and Amanda McQuade-Crawford to name but a few. Each herbalist is asked to describe his or her favorite recipes for healing and supporting a healthy body. With names like Amanda's Herbal Iron Elixir and Balsamic Blast, there is a multitude of choices available for every taste and need. Not only do the recipes cover the healing aspect of herbs in foods, they also include recipes for healing herbs in teas and tinctures. A precise and easy to follow chapter on how to make tincture, teas and cordials makes this a book that can be used by the beginner as well as someone familiar with using medicinal herbs. Another chapter is devoted solely to the herbs in the book, including their common and botanical Latin names, the parts used, the general taste and the herb's affinity for particular body systems. This chapter is especially important for you to familiarize yourself with an herb's properties before using. Finally, there is a wonderful resource section that includes contact information for herbs and natural products, bulk herbs, educational resources and much more. This is a good indication of a book's serious intent and solid background of subject material. There are three chicken soup recipes that include organic, free range chickens and one that includes oysters and two more that include butter and honey. Other than that, all of the recipes are vegan and there are 101 recipes in the book to choose from!
