Product Description
Synopsis
In an age where our health and well-being are under threat from genetically modified foods and chemicals, preservatives and additives, spices boast enduring, all-natural therapeutic benefits for mind and body. Readily available, highly aromatic, and widely efficacious, they have been a well-kept beauty secret in the East for centuries. In this sumptuously illustrated book, learn how to improve your appearance, relax and promote your body's healing qualities through a little spice magic. Spices can be applied in rubs, baths, and scrubs to condition and repair skin; burnt in incense and aromatic mixtures to relax or enliven the mind, administered in cosmetics or ingested in teas and food to combat inflammation and boost the immune system. Turmeric and cayenne pepper, for example, are reputed to be two of seven essential ingredients needed for optimal health. Lemongrass contains a semi-drying property that is excellent for cleansing oily skin, and is used extensively in the manufacture of oils contained in scented soaps. Water-resistant sesame oil is said to absorb ultraviolet rays and makes the ideal suntan lotion.Spice Therapeutics is the first book to concentrate on the non-culinary uses of spices and aromatics, introducing you to the best-kept health and beauty secrets of various Eastern cultures.
