An ancient Chinese legend: Once there was a man who knew 100,000 healing properties of herbs. He taught his son 80,000 secrets. On his deathbed, he told his son to visit his grave in five years, and there he would find the other 20,000 secrets. When the son went to his father's grave, he found, growing on the site, the tea shrub....

small book, lot of info

This small book has a lot of information. I am more than satisfied with all that I have read. I was already into herbal teas, but was still hungry for more information. I am surrounded or know many people who need information and guidance to a healthy & better life. A little more than 2 years before I purchased this book, I had stopped taking those (OTC) Over The Counter meds/ drugs. I didn't feel that those products were effective. I felt like my symptoms were just temporarily suppressed, because the symptoms kept coming back. Thanks to Kevin Trudeau's book, I know for a fact that those drugs were absolutely no good and extremely dangerous. I have been going to the Natural Health food stores and constantly searching for more information so I can help myself & others. I came across this book in the Natural food store and was drawn to the title of this book. I began reading it soon as I arrived home. In chapter 5 its an herbal guide to health. In this A-Z guide you can look up your current health problems, and find the names of the herb like acid reflux, adrenal glands, air purifier, asthma, blood clots, blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation,herpes simplex... and more. In chapter 6 you will be informed about each herb listed; the history, benefits, and guidance so that you can become a smart consumer.

Poor research, made-up translations

Based on the Zen principle that "how you do anything is how you do everything", I would say this book is primarily invented by the author. I started looking at her "translations" of the herb names and was floored by her bogus information. For instance, she says that Calendula in France was called "souci du jardin" or, according to Zak "sauce of the garden"! Souci is a French word for marigold! Souci du jardin simply means garden marigold. She also says that souci du jardin can mean "sun follower"--completely made up. She has other howlers in the book, mixed in with accurate stuff--my concern is that if some of the writing seems sloppy and improvised, then for something like medicinal herbal information a reader would do better to go to one of the standard publications on herbal medicines and tonics.

Tea business

I have been reading this book every night before retiring to bed and I am very intrigued by the information in the book. I am a bit disappointed that there is no mentioned on recommended manufacturer's of tea. Other wise; the book is a good read.

Great Little Book

This book is just full of probably most anything you ever wanted to know about different teas! It gives you information concerning health issues and which types of teas to drink! Well worth the money to have on hand! :)
