Book Reviews of 20,000 Secrets of Tea: The Most Effective Ways to Benefit from Nature's Healing Herbs
Book Review: Poor research, made-up translations
Summary: 1 Stars
Based on the Zen principle that "how you do anything is how you do everything", I would say this book is primarily invented by the author. I started looking at her "translations" of the herb names and was floored by her bogus information. For instance, she says that Calendula in France was called "souci du jardin" or, according to Zak "sauce of the garden"! Souci is a French word for marigold! Souci du jardin simply means garden marigold. She also says that souci du jardin can mean "sun follower"--completely made up. She has other howlers in the book, mixed in with accurate stuff--my concern is that if some of the writing seems sloppy and improvised, then for something like medicinal herbal information a reader would do better to go to one of the standard publications on herbal medicines and tonics.
