my herbs.......

I like that there is a section for herbs. Just don't know what it is for.

Don't want it to go away, so I'll just post this to take up space, and will post an actual herbal post later.....

I have been enjoying books on Chinese herbalism by Letha Hadady. There are herbs to help with weight loss and also recommended foods. The two books I have are Personal Renewal and Asian Health Secrets. There is not one prescription for everyone, you need to look to see what her recommendations are for you.

One is a slimming tea called Bojenmi. It is said to be energizing, bracing, and to reduce atherosclerotic plaque.

I did recently read that if you drank 32 oz of Oolong tea you could lose about 3 pounds a week. A quick search:
"Polyphenol in oolong tea is effective in controlling obesity. Specifically speaking, it activates the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving triglyceride. It has been confirmed that the continuous intake of oolong tea contributes to enhancing the function of fat metabolism and to controlling obesity."
They said if you added green tea to it it would be more effective becasue the ECGC in green tea would also boost your metabolism. I picked up the teas but haven't given it a try yet.

I was just reading about Reishi mushrooms in the herbal knowledge linkon the home page and now I think I will try to get some so I can live forever

I have a couple of books to list too. They are both by the same author. First is "The Way of Herbs" and second is "The Way of Chinese Herbs"

The book I originally bought combined western and chinese herbs in one book. I've used the old one for years and it gives a good breakdown of the inidividual herbal properties, a section on education regarding what the herbal properties actually do, how to combine the herbs for compounds and the yin and yang of herbal medicine. The 2 newer books do the same, but can focus on each style of healing.

oh yeah, the author is Michael Terra.
