He leído este libro con mucha calma, y ha sido genial encontrar tantos remedios y ocurrencias orgánicas para el bienestar propio. Me ha gustado mucho, ahora siempre que voy a preparar cualquier alimento vegetal o herbal me detengo a pensar en sus componentes y beneficios. Ha sido una ayuda muy bienvenida a mi rutina diaria, pondré en práctica muchas de las recetas y consejos. Para amantes de lo natural y lo ecológico.

A great resource for budding/beginner herbalists or those who just wish to add more information to their herbal materia medicas.
I especially loved that there were often folklore stories or historical references too and that it broke down the herbal actions into different subheadings (mind, body, beauty and spirit) which made it very easy to read and retain the knowledge.
If you’re looking for a more in depth herbal book about adaptogens or super herbs this would be good as a base to jump from but don’t make this your sole resource.

Al principio pensé que iba a ser un libro con datos superficiales sacados de internet; pero cuando encuentras detalles sobre cómo prepara, combinar y utilizar para obtener el máximo beneficio de estas súper hierbas con base a la experiencia de la autora, te das cuenta de que mucha información bien de la experiencia.
Buen libro, recomendable para enfocarte en las hierbas que puedes encontrar y consumir fácilmente.

Esta muy bueno tiene mucha informacion dados desde cuando se consume cada hierba y da recetas de como podes usarla. Incluso da información para saber como conseguirlas y cultivarlas, tal vez falte información de como recojerlas o fotos a color de las plantas pero por el precio del libro esta muy bien. Siempre se puede consultar a google. La autora incluso hay momentos que te cuenta sobre como conocio la hierba lo que hace más amena su lectura. Lo recomiendo.

El libro aborda una serie de hierbas adaptogenas e incluye alguna que otra receta. Si bien la información es muy detallada y buena, la autora se enfoca en especímenes usados en la medicina china, que no están disponibles en todos los países (no son nativos o difíciles de conseguir)
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Un libro muy interesante que nos hace conocer unas veinte hierbas y sus propiedades. Lo que más me ha gustado es que tiene también diez recetas de cada hierba que podemos hacer en casa.
