This is a difficult book to review because it contains so much useful information.
It's quite a revelation to read about how traditional remedies are now being consistently proven at least as effective as their costly and potentially dangerous pharmaceutical counterparts.
Of the fifty spices/foods covered here, turmeric seems to have the power to heal or prevent the greatest number of maladies. Truly a super-spice, according to current extensive research trials. CURRY UP! Your body and your tast...more

B I really liked this book - some great insights on how to use various spices for healing purposes. However, this is not an instructional book on how to use certain spices for healing - it gives you info but not prescriptive (i.e., so you'll learn that this spice is good for asthma, but now exactly how to use it) - that would have been more helpful. Some good recipes, great background info though.
When I first got this book, I just read it from front to back - albeit skipping over some of recaps of the medical studies. I found it to be immensely informative, for a person who loves to cook and who is interested in natural medicine. I have yet to actually try any of the recipes but I have quite a few bookmarked. Fantastic reference source!
History of , medicinal uses of , research concerning , and recipies containing 50 different spices, with an emphasis on those used in India. Very good.
Good book, full of helpful information. Wish that it sourced more of the research it mentioned. Other than that, useful guide to spices.
very good reference book for herbs and spices both for their medicinal use and general cooking
Some controversy about the author's research, but, the general information was good--in my opinion.
A keeper! Truly one of my top books in my collection. I'll never loan it out.
Beautiful book with a wealth of information on culinary and health use of spices.
Love the concept of health through delicious favors. I will forever be referring to this book and Adding to my spice collection.
Well done! Actually I won't ever been done reading this I will read sections over and over!
A helpful resource book about the many health benefits of 50 different spices, plus recipes for foods and drinks to use them in.
A very interesting and accessible ayurvedic medicine book complete with recipes and scientific data.
Great book on the power and uses of spices both for medicinal purposes and culinary.
Another great books towards a healthy eating lifestyle.
