20,000 Secrets of Tea: The Most Effective Ways to Benefit from Nature's Healing Herbs

This little book is a wonderful way to learn about and use teas to improve your health and to give your taste buds a real treat when ever you try something new. The book is well organized and easy to use. After an interesting introduction to the benefits of teas, it has an excellent section that alphabetically lists common health problems/issues. Under each, there is a list of the herbs that may be beneficial in resolving the health concern. One can then flip to the section providing information about individual herbs, how to use them, precautions, history of the herb, and nutrients one gets from the herb. This section lists over 100 different herbs also in alphabetical order. I often give this book as a gift and have both the paperback and Kindle versions. Teas are a very gentle way to improve one’s health and quality of life. I recommend the paperback version as it is easier to flip back and forth to check out the information on different herbs recommended for specific things. As with everything else, please consult your doctor to make sure that the herb you want to try is safe for you.

This is a very good book and full of good information.

I can’t even express how much I love this book. It looks small and simple from the outside, but inside is packed with information on a huge variety of teas. The writer covers everything from great bits of history and folklore of each herb, to its uses, warnings, consumption guide and even great combinations, all written in a simple to learn manner. Weather you are new to the tea world or a veteran, or weather you are looking to learn for routine consumption or a guide for as needed use, this book is perfect for you. The only thing this book does not have is pictures, so you’re looking for a guide for identifying herbs, this is not for you. Although they include great written descriptions of each herb I don’t believe it would really be enough to confidently identify a species. Other than that this book is perfect and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Teas (infusions or tisanes) have more healing properties than we've been lead to believe. This book is an excellent beginner's guide to the use of herbal teas to improve health. It includes a brief history of the herb, it's indications, contraindications and beneficial constituents. This is not a substitute for medical advice, though. Also, I do not recommend taking any tea on a constant basis or mixing teas if you are not an experienced herbalist; teas are meant more for acutely adjusting your health concerns than long-term use. If you do decide to try herbal teas, you should also tell your doctor in case it interferes with your meds.

Herbalism 101 & 201 in the palm of your hand. I've completed studies in herbalism to better understand the medicinal benefits of plants and focus on more on natural remedies. All that we need comes from our great Mother Earth... this reference guide is an EXCELLENT resource for information about not only the nature, history, and benefit of each plant but also identifies which plants may best serve a particular ailment or condition.

Great reference and interesting read

This is the one book I carried with me in the years I moved from place to place frequently. I simply couldn’t do without it as a reference for staying in balance mentally, physically, and emotionally. It was my first and best primer on herbal medicine, introducing each herb thoroughly and instructing me on proper usage. Teas are a gentle but powerful way to get acquainted with each herb, and I appreciated the author’s advice to get to know each one separately before beginning to create combinations. I’m heading into cronedom now and feel empowered, energized, steady, and strong, thanks to this book and the supportive herbs it introduced me to.

This book is incredibly useful. But please don't think it's JUST about teas. It's not. This is a fantastic, succinct herbal reference. It'd be ideal to have a couple of copies -- one for the house, and one for a 'go bag' (if you have one.) I bought my first copy about ten years ago. I bought another copy several months ago for my sister, who has recently taken an interest in the healing power of herbs. This is one of my two favorite references for herbs as medicine, the other being Back To Eden . This particular book focuses on what herbs are good for various ailments, and although it does provide some recipes, the focus is on matching plant to ailment, rather than the multitude of ways that these herbs can be prepared and/or blended for maximum efficacy. If you wanted something portable, this would be it. Something like Back To Eden , which I have in the old hardcover version, is also very informative, but it is also huge. Highly recommended. Should be on the library of anyone who recognizes, or is even a little bit interested in the healing powers found in the plants that God gave us in Creation.

ハーブティーバイブルという本の原書です。翻訳本が約2500円でこっちが約800円なので英語が読める方や一度翻訳本を読んだ人におすすめの本です。 ただ、翻訳本にはあったハーブのスケッチが原書にはないので☆−１とさせて頂きます。

Best Topic

I am SOOOO HAPPY I bought this book! I use it every day! It’s become my tea bible and I refer to it on a daily basis (I drink a lot of tea) I’m trying to build a collection of tea for all that ails me, and this book has been vital for this experience. It’s really cool because it talks about the origins of each tea, what it’s benefits are (including vitamins and minerals that it contains), warnings for some teas (some teas shouldn’t be mixed with certain medications/conditions), and general taste of the tea (earthy, pungent, subtle..etc) But.....it also has a “quick reference” section in the middle that alphabetically lists any health conditions/ailments and which teas to use for them. Anything from sleep problems, hangovers, hair loss, arthritis, bladder problems, fatigue, heart problems, gum health, thyroid health, stress, pms, nicotine withdrawal and soooo much more! Don’t be fooled by the size of this book, it’s loaded with information. Again, I can’t boost up this book enough. If you love tea, know someone who does and/or love healing with natural ingredients, this book is a must have! Small enough to bring on trips too, but a bombshell of info! One hundred stars!
