Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies That Heal Kindle Edition

This is such a beautiful book, from the front to the back all of the vibrant colors, amazing research and recipes make it sooo hard to put this book down. I literally highlighted almost all the pages in the introduction because of the wonderful information and tips.. and the recipes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Excited to keep learning and get healing through herbs 🌿 ✨️ 😊 I would upload more pictures but don't want to spoil the book for you. My first herbal book and I'm excited about it lol. A must buy I must say .

I was very excited to hear that Rosalee de la Foret was writing her first book. I have thoroughly enjoyed studying with Rosalee for the past couple of years, and immediately pre-ordered her book, knowing that I was in for a real treat. After a couple of months of waiting, I am extremely satisfied with this high-quality publication. Rosalee clearly poured her heart into this book and each section takes the reader on a magnificent journey to the world of herbal medicine. The beginning of the book starts you on your journey with the benefits of herbs and spices, then continues with the latest science proving the effectiveness of our herbal allies. She then guides you in matching the herbs to you, not just to an ailment, providing examples on energetics, helping you to discover your own constitution, and giving an overview of the different tastes and what they will do for you. Included are quizzes to help you determine your own energetic balance, an exercise to hone your new-found skill, and a chapter on how to get the most out of your book, all leading to in-depth information on the five tastes of herbs. Each herb starts with a beautiful photo of the herb, and an intriguing quote from another great herbalist , past or present --even a quote on the herb Ashwaganda from Charaka, one of the founders of Ayurvedic Medicine. I loved each of the quotes and the photographs. For each herb there is a listing of the botanical name, family, parts used, energetics, and taste as well as the properties, uses and preparations. Rosalee then gives delightful recipes as well as even more helpful information on the herb itself. To wrap up the book, Rosalee gives very helpful conversion charts with equivalent measurements and temperatures, as well as a glossary and a recommended resource page on where you can acquire these new herbal allies to begin your new healthy herbal life.

Wow! That was the first thing that came out of my mouth as I began reading this book. It is by far the best introductory book I have seen in my almost three decades of learning about herbal medicine and herbal support. I was hesitant to buy another introductory herb book as my knowledge is beyond the introductory level. But the recipes in this book are worth every penny.I wish I had this book to start with back then. I think it would have saved me money, time and energy as I explored what I thought was herbal medicine content. The content is not overwhelming and if this is the only herb book you learn from you will have a basic foundation if using herbs for nutritional support and basic home remedies. The foundational content includes an explanation about how herbs serve individuals unlike our current system of One Solution Syndrome for everyone (take a pill for this and then take a pill for that), a well-explained overview of the energetics of herbs and deep dive into the tastes of herbs - which is my favorite part.More than anything else, I love the simplicity of introducing herbs through food and cooking. Food should always be our first medicine - which is how I can easily justify a Cardamon Chocolate Mousse Cake each month since it so good for me! Another aspect I like about the recipes is that they are all very doable: no specialized equipment, no huge orders of exotic herbs and spices and no tricky culinary skills required. The author has done a remarkable job of making herbal support both legitimate to the doubtful and accessible to the open-minded.Most importantly, Rosalee uses her clinical skills throughout her writing and offers recent research to support medicinal applications. She also employs safety and caution and gives specific examples of what some herbs can do (because yes, they really work!) to some individuals.Overall, I think this is the best introductory book on incorporating herbs and their nutritional and medicinal properties to support our health.

El contenido es de 10, la encuadernación lamentable; se me ha abierto de par en par al poco de empezar a leerlo. Una verdadera pena

I’ve already made stuff using the books recipes. Love the knowledge contained in this book.

Lo que más amo de este libro es que puedes saber el uso medicinal de cada hierba o especie, su uso terapeutico, y hasta como aplicarlo para alguna receta. Lo cual se me hace increíble, porque al estar comprando este tipo de libro, significa que eres medio de una onda holistica o yogi, entonces un regalo hecho a base de hierbas para uso culinario estaría demasiado original.

Muito interessante, com um conteúdo didático e com ótimas receitas.Vale muito a pena ter este livro e principalmente, fazer as receitas oferecidas.

I love many aspects of Alchemy of Herbs. The content is rich with informative goodness, the layout is appealing and easy to use and the photography taste worthy. It is a book that is calling to be dog eared thru use. I have begun my herbal awareness education and am nutritionally working my way through the book. My enthusiasm has been contagious with friends purchasing Alchemy of Herbs based on my love of my verbal sharing of how wonderful it is.Of note... there is so much more information Rosalee shares beyond the book. There is a Facebook page that is alive with content. Additional opportunities are offered that makes Alchemy of Herbs a learning experience that supports you and keeps on giving. I am finding I have not just purchased a book but a learning experience that is making be a better me!
