Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Herbs are as old as the hills. Almost as old as thyme (sic) itself. Their traces have been found in the graves of Neanderthal man, in the tomb of Tutankhamun and in the burial chambers of ancient Chinese emperors. Many of the properties found in medicines today are derived from remedies that existed eons ago. Super Herbs guides you through the herb garden, explains their origins and lists their individualistic qualities. And herbs have an abundance of health benefits; they can alter moods, increase sex drive, boost stamina, cleanse the system and enhance energy levels. The author, Michael Van Straten, is the UK's leading authority on complementary medicine. He has practised as an osteopath, naturopath and acupuncturist and is currently the Alternative Health Editor for Woman magazine. In short, the man knows his oregano from his elbow. Not only does the book tell you what various herbs are and contain, but it suggests what to do with them. Super Herbs includes over 60 olde-worlde-sounding recipes, such as flowery rhubarb delight, wonderful weedy soup, nutty herb noodles and scented plums, all designed to encourage you to pillage Mother Nature's pantry. The book also contains advice on how to produce and cultivate your own herb harvest. Smartly laid-out, Super Herbs is as easy on the eye as stinging nettle stir-fry is on the stomach. Really. --Christopher Kelly Customer Reviews
