Grow Your Own Drugs: Easy Recipes for Natural Remedies and Beauty Fixes
It is a pleasant book, beautifully illustrated, which have lists of plants used as natural remedies for various complaints, and also some species of plants, organized, with a small description for each. On the surface, a resource of Nice. It’s a long history of books like this, “herbs” in the fifteenth century. The problem comes when you probe a little more about the reliability of this information, we expect to be better than it was 500 years ago soll.Es there is no doubt about the reality of ethnobotany Many modern medicines, including aspirin from willow bark, has come from traditional sources. On the other hand, there are many strange and absurd superstitions in folk medicine. Again, this is an area in which rational analysis is always the first. Proponents of alternative medicine, including the author, to make two errors of logic. The first is the argument that “if and has been used for thousands of years ..” Well, they used leeches for bloodletting for thousands of years – that you use in the foreseeable future? The second argument is false that “natural” is somehow the same thing as “good for you.” Arsensic is natural and has been used for centuries as a medical treatment. Or how about scopolamine, a natural ingredient in henbane apple thorny plants or weeds Jimson cons? In small doses, for students in the medicinal use against nausea or dilated. In large doses, hallucinations serious. A natural medicine, but also extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to home.Wie us know what remedies are safe and effective? Only objective studies can say. The good news is that this information is more available now. He is a recognized source called Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, which collects such results. I bought this book because I hoped that James Wong, who was a TV show in Britain to be a knowledgeable guide on the curative properties of plants, and has a degree in ethnobotany. I am a little disappointed. It’s more of a coffee table “book”, especially rare images and texts to the use of herbs to promote. I suppose we could count on Wong said that the only best and safest treatment review with some depth of explanation. Not really. For example, tells us that Goji berries support Wong and shiitake mushrooms, the immune system. This is very important – I wondering how it was implemented. Wong popular herbs echinacea or recommend such as solving a cold – but a major medical research effort is not serious and consistent evidence that it works. More troubling still, Wong notes that it is more likely, as he writes – for example, has some funds have a warning, they are not used during pregnancy. Why not right? Do not mean that there are reports of side effects? To his credit, gives some precautions Wong. In some cases, he admits that the data are uncertain and gives warnings, including a process of the skin before recommending the inclusion of a new preparation. It is clear also the need to positively identify plants and distinguish them from “double-toxic. But the warnings are in small type, as dictated by lawyers for the publishing house, while the effect of a book images is a great comfort and self-determination. There are few encouraging warning that black cohosh, ginkgo Baloba, Saw Palmetto, St. John’s Wort and other plants are known, with Many prescription drugs interfere with you, perhaps. Bottom line is that this is kinda complicated, but the book reveals a deceptive simplicity. I do not expect paper biochemical technique, but I was expecting in more depth from an author who is angry at a university Vorlesungen.Auch the book, as in the markets, James Wong, no doubt to promote the TV show. It appears in many dozens of pictures based on many – Wong Wong smile tea Wong to a door, Wong lie in the grass – the Martha Stewart of natural healing. Or perhaps Mr Wong has only one serious case developed by vanity . My grandmother told me, lemon tea is good for the grass. Rating: 3 / 5

This beautiful book is so easy to navigate, understand and use. There is good evidence for biological products to buy, to make recipes in the back of the book. The author is great. I wish they had another word in the title instead of using drugs! I bought this after hearing the author on the paper book or on TV or NPR, do not remember who. . . This is a good book for all to herbal teas. Rating: 5 / 5
I’m still skeptical, home remedies, but also want products that are locally grown, home, and not infused with unnatural chemicals are used. So I decided to give this book to try. This is not only beautiful – the photography is really phenomenal – not only the author of the beautiful (and British! Its the BBC show on Youtube and it has a great accent), but the recipes actually work, really! I have the recipe for a sore throat and immediately found reassuring. And for fun I tried the bath bombs which are much easier than I thought it would be useful and it has been imbued with the beauty! If, in a nod to all those who wish to recommend to worry about their own bodies. Rating: 5 / 5
