In Your Hip Pocket!
By Expressionality
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
One of the gals at the health food store that I go to recommended this book. If I had to pick only one book on herbal teas, this would be the one. It is a quick, easy reference - and right on the money with the medicinal uses and any cautions that should be taken. I built my 'herbal tea cabinet' based on the advice from this book - and I need a bigger cabinet! (smile)
The cost is just pennies for the 20,000 secrets!
Go for it!

Excellent easy reference and guide but potentially misleading and even dangerous
By nomadbride
I ordered this book last week and have LOVED reading it. Ms. Zak has done a wonderful job of writing informatively and interestingly. Her paragraphs overflow with information and anecdotes and it just makes me excited to read about all the ailments that herbs, used correctly, can address.
That said, I started to have a few small items come up as I was reading that I thought, "That could have been done better." Chapter 5 is all about an A-Z guide of ailments with the herbs listed beneath them to address that particular malady. On further research of the individual herbs, however, we find that some herbs only marginally affect that illness while others are not recommended and others yet might be the *perfect* herb for that illness. I have found myself going back and forth between the list and the sections detailing each herb and either crossing out certain herbs the author recommends against (blue cohosh, for instance) or highlighting the herb that is "the supreme" herb for that problem. For ease of reference, I wish the author or editor had done that for me-- using a ranking system of some sort to mark the extremes (those herbs either absolutely excellent for a certain condition or those that, while they address it, are not recommended for it). Flipping back and forth in the book is a bit of a pain, no matter how much I've enjoyed learning more about the herbs.
That was only a personal preference, however, and nothing that would keep me from recommending the book. It's inconvenient, but doesn't reflect on the content of the book, merely the manageability.
Stepping up the inconvenience, I found I had to repeatedly look outside of this book to reference something the book said. In Ms. Zak's A-Z list of ailments, she sometimes has an ailment that does not have its own list of herbs beneath it but instead has a note saying, "See ________ [instead]." That is fine and understandable each time it is used. (For instance, under "Glands," it says, "See Lymph System," or under "Blemishes" she sends you to "See Acne" instead.) What surprised and confused me was when she lists "Balding" and has herbs listed under it and then several pages later lists "Hair Loss," under which the exact three herbs are again listed. I had to go outside of the book to figure out if this was merely redundant, if it was poorly worded, or if there was a valid difference between the two conditions. It looks like there IS a difference (hair loss can be any hair from your body while balding medically refers to loss of hair on your head), but it was just unclear in the book.
Where I truly have trouble with this book is in the information itself. A mild example of misinformation is on page 143 when Ms. Zak addresses green tea. At the very bottom of the page, she inserts the quick comment, "Jasmine tea is a green tea with jasmine blossoms." All my life I have enjoyed jasmine tea-- jasmine tea made from green leaves scented by jasmine oil or flowers, or tea made straight from brewing jasmine flowers alone. You can buy it either way, and while most people drink it scented rather than made by the flowers themselves, I thought it interesting that Ms. Zak noted only one way of drinking jasmine tea. Furthermore, her acknowledgement of jasmine tea but omission of addressing the flower as its own herb makes it appear that jasmine has no healing properties of its own. On the contrary, it has several, including but not limited to soothing aromatherapy, protecting red blood cells from free radicals, and weight management.
A more serious and harmful example of Ms. Zak's failure to include information is the herb sage. The section on sage takes up space from page 196 to 197. It includes a brief history of the herb and then recounts sage's healing properties: anti-aging, blood sugar, digestive remedy, liver stimulant, nasal congestion, night sweats, respiratory infections, good for women's health, etc. It even includes the special feature "anti-dandruff hair rinse." The caution states, "Moderate use is best. Avoid sage if you have epilepsy." It sounds like a GREAT herb for me to take occasionally. I don't have epilepsy and now I know not to use it a lot, but infrequently.
What the section on sage doesn't tell you is that sage is the herb most frequently used to help a women stop lactating. If a woman miscarries her child or has decided not to nurse her baby for one reason or another, sage tea is recommended as it impairs milk supply and production. I would not have known this myself (as I hadn't yet cross-referenced any of these herbs with another book's list of herbs and their uses) had I not just lost our young son and am now in the position of needing to stop milk production. The very first recommendation I got was to drink sage tea. I came home and opened my new tea book, glad and a bit relieved that I had such a wonderful guide to something I enjoy so much-- drinking tea and healing naturally. I expected I would find more information to help round-out my new knowledge of this herb and its uses. Consequently, I was completely surprised to see that Ms. Zak failed to mention this property of sage. Can you imagine a young mother, exclusively breast-feeding her infant, struggling with her period returning? She looks up a remedy in this book, sees that sage lists a caution but doesn't say anything about pregnant or nursing mothers, and reads that sage "is a tonic to the reproductive system that eases menstrual irregularities." Not seeing any caution relating to her own health, she decides to take two cups of tea for several days. Imagine her surprise and dismay when her milk supply dries up and she suddenly has a hungry baby and no milk to feed him with!
As shocked as I was when I realized the author failed to include this vital piece of information, I rationalized that it was a one-time thing and any responsible reader will cross-reference all of the herbs before using them. On a whim, I decided to look up the other herbs I was recommended to use to stop lactation: peppermint, spearmint, and lemon balm among them. To my disappointment, Ms. Zak again fails to mention these crucial medical properties when she lists their pros and cons. Lemon balm doesn't even include a caution at all, when to my mind, "May dry up your milk supply" is a pretty big deal that can negatively affect an unsuspecting mother and child.
This makes me wonder what other crucial information is left out. I feel disillusioned and let down from my initial excitement about this book. If I have to read another book or two just to check out all the information in this book, is this one really worth it?
My hesitating answer at this point is "yes." Despite its failure to include all the cautions it should (definitively with these milk-halting herbs and possibly with others), it points the reader in the general direction they should look. It's an infectious read for a beginner in teas and it's a good quick guide. I will not take this book at its word in the future and will, without fail, look up each herb in at least one other book before I use it or recommend it to anyone else. It is disappointing, and I hope that other readers will look into each herb as well and go into this with their eyes open.
All of my issues (both minor and those with greater repercussions) can be fixed in a second edition, and I have high hopes for Ms. Zak's work. It is with mixed feelings that I give this book a three-star rating-- it was such a wonderful and informative read until I realized the serious health mistakes I could make by solely relying on this book with no other comprehensive guide. It is short, informative, interesting, and helpful, but not the comprehensive and reliable guide every family should have.

I love this book
By Bernie D. Texas
I love this book. I have always loved my cup of tea before bedtime. But now to learn all the different health benefits from drinking the different teas is like learning to dance.
