This book has detailed information on a great number of Indian spices and various herbal teas. I was familiar with some of the spices but I did learn about others as well. I use spices in my cooking but it is good to know about other benefits of herbs. I believe in aromatherapy and alternate medicine which is why this book interested me. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious to know about herbs and their benefits.
I was delighted to read this book. The information was written in a charming manner. This book had the feeling of a old world herbal primer and contained many facts I already knew, as a long term student of traditional herbs. I also learned many new facts/ideas from this book. I cannot attest to the accuracy of this all the information in this abook.
I have been reading this authors herbal remedy articles for years, and this book is the perfect culmination. English may not be her first language but that doesn't detract from her first-hand knowledge of Indian herbs and spices. If you're into alternatives to what the drug companys shove down your throat - you've come to the right place!
Highly recommended!

I couldn't have found this book at a better time. I found it useful for some 'natural remedy' research I was doing. I found it to be a very interesting illustrated guide into everything one needs to know about herbs, teas, and spices. I love how the information is so easy to read and is formatted as an A-Z guide. I'll definitely be keeping this book with me for reference.

I found this book an interesting read - especially for someone who is more interested in using plants and spices for dying fabric or wool rather than drinking them. I was pleasantly surprised that the author has included some herbs and spices which fitted this description and which I have never heard of before A very useful book which has been laid out in a way which makes it so very easy to read. It has been well researched and I know my sister who loves drinking herbal teas would really enjoy exploring some of the options featured in this book.
