Browsed through this book on herb teas. It has a lot of valuable information on which herb teas to use for different
health benefits. This was a rare find. Very happy to have it as I drink many herb tea blends. Great little book

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!

This is the perfect book for anyone looking to use herbs for healing! It is very easy to understand and I was relieved to find all of these herbs in Whole Foods, (a local health food store). This book is not just for when your sick, it also gives great information about teas for every day use and illness prevention.

20,000 Secrets of Tea is the best book I've ever read on the subject of herbs and herbal teas.Unlike some books on herbs and teas, this book is clear-cut and extremely easy to follow. The book also contains many recipes for tea blends and recipes for certain ailments. I was amazed by the amount of information contained in this book. Not only does it contain detailed descriptions of herbs, but it also gives a summary of traditional and historical uses of herbs. It also lists certain precautions that should be taken when considering herbal remedies. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in how tea and herbs can contribute to their health!
