Review of The Way of Ayurvedic Herbs: A Contemporary Introduction and Useful Manual for the World's Oldest Healing System (Paperback)

This is my first time reading anything about Ayurvedic Medicine and after going through the book, I had cross-referenced its contents with some of my friends who have been implementing these practices in their life, amazingly they all agree with the information provided in this book. For example the use of Garlic, onion, and Ginger is the primary ingredient of almost every Indian household for many many years along with other spices..handed down from Mother to Daughter but no one ever questioned why these spices were the primary base of all the foods.. with this book it breaks down and explains detailed benefits of each of these tri-primary base of Indian food. Pretty good.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to change their life and live a longer healthy life.

My healingenergy has increased by about 1000% and more. One day while meditating inmy minds eye I saw a vision of a Japanese man carrying me. He laid me downand touched my forehead. I physically felt his hand and received a healing.Working daily with the healing techniques in this book gave me the extratraining and focus I needed to set up my professional Reiki Practice.

Review of The Hayashi Reiki Manual: Traditional Japanese Healing Techniques from the Founder of the Western Reiki System (Paperback)

This book gives very specific Reiki treatments for different ailments used by one of the most prominent Reiki healers. I've been doing the Weight Loss (Diabetic) treatment on myself. So far it has had the curious effect of stabalizing my emotions when I work on the pancrease. This book will not work for you unless you have had the Reiki transmissions, but it is very easy to use if you have had some training.

Product Description
The manual consists of the story of Dr. Hayashi including unpublished photos and main exercises of the Hayashi Reiki system.

Review of Essiac: A Native Herbal Cancer Remedy (Paperback)

This book is a no frills, frank discussion of the use of essiac to build up the immune system so the body can fight cancer and many other immune related diseases.The history of the discovery of native use of essiac byRene Caisse and how she was able to use it successfully to help a largenumber of people is very encouraging to potential users of essiac today.Ihave purchased several copies of this book and given them away to cancersufferers who have immediately began using the tea with great trust andhope. The odds of being helped by essiac presented in this book are so muchbetter than most cancer patients could imagine that they are eager to tryit.Every cancer patient should read this book and then make up their mindabout how they wish to combat their disease!

Caisse received the formula for an herbal remedy through a patient who had been successfully treated for breast cancer by a Native American medicine man. With this remedy, which she called Essiac, Caisse would go on to treat thousands of patients at an incredible recovery rate of 80%!

With Essiac's key ingredients now available through health food stores, this book gives a complete account of the recipe, the doses and of Essiac's uses, and chronicles the experience of patients who have attained relief or regeneration from this remarkable herbal preparation.

Review of Rainforest Remedies: 100 Healing Herbs of Belize (Paperback)

Being a student of rainforest medicinal plants myself, I found this book one of the best, published or unpublished, to-date. The drawings are excellent, making field identification easy. The presentation of both thecommon and scientific names of plants is invaluable. I found it interestingthat the Carribean people of Belize and the Carribean people of Costa Rica(where I am) use the same names and uses for many of the medicinal plants.This book is a wealth ofinformation for such a small price, not tomention, motivation for further inquiry. Thank You!

Product Description
The work of Rosita Arvigo and Michael Balick to bring the knowledge of the Mayan healers to the Western reader deserves due credit.This revised and enlargedsecond edition includes much additional information about the major herbs in the Mayan pharmacopeia.Their work proves that the rainforest has more value tomankind alive than cut down!
