Product Description
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
Product Description
The recent controversies surrounding BSE and GM foods have brought into focus the vital link between the food we eat and our health. While many people believe that culinary herbs are used to simply flavour foods, "Superherbs" shows that they also contribute to our well-being, helping to relieve illness and disease. Following on from "Superjuice" and "Organic Superfoods", "Superherbs", the new title from health expert Michael van Straten, addresses the nutritional and healing properties of herbs and explores the variety of ways in which they can be used in cooking. As well as a comprehensive Herbal Pharmacy that sets out the often surprising medicinal benefits of many well-knwon and some lesser-known herbs, there is a range of nutritionally orientated recipes arranged in highly focused chapters, including Power Herbs, Protective Herbs and Cleansing Herbs. Practical guidance on growing, storing and freezing herbs is also included.
