Book Reviews of Traveler's Joy
Book Review: A Book I Come Back to Every Spring
Summary: 5 Stars
At least once year i pull out my Juliette Levy books and read through favorite parts or chapters forgotten from my whole collection. Some are still available in paperback - others are coveted collector's items found on rare book sites or old book shops visited in my own travels. One of my favorites that is still available is Traveler's Joy.
The book is divided into seven chapters - About Travel, About Water, About Fire and Weather, About Dwellings, About Medicine, About Food, About Travelers. The two chapters that stand out and are put to use in my home are the ones regarding food and medicine.
The medicine chapter covers the how to's of healing headaches,toothaches, eye injuries or ear aches, fever, backaches or jellyfish stings. I use the recipe for insect repellent which includes wormwood, rue and rosemary. Her method of removing ticks is to throw some powdered ginger on them and they back out immediately. Some people feel that this would make them regurgetate their toxic saliva into the wound possibly causing tick born diseases. My own experience with using this method is that they move so quickly with the use of ginger or cayenne that I just do not worry about it. I would rather the whole tick out than the head left behind. I know many people who are so nervous about removing ticks that this method has helped them in dealing with their removal since it is so simple. The flea section is enjoyable to read.
About Foods will make you want to go to your kitchen and toss anything refined or packaged and become a gatherer of fresh ingredients. Since pulling this book back off the shelf a week ago I have had daily cravings for freshly baked breads and raw milk cheeses.
I find this book no less than completely enchanting. In a time when many are learning to scale back and make the most of what they do have, this book would be an appropriate addition to one's library with methods of healing out of the kitchen cupboard and simple means of making nutritious meals.
