Want to take charge of your health naturally? Sit down, relax, and soak up some Asian Health Secrets with Letha Hadady, "the Martha Stewart of herbs." Stroll with her through a Chinese market and see the herbs, teas, and foods that can help common problems from arthritis to high blood pressure, and even aid weight loss and depression safely and gently. Hadady then moves into the kitchen to delve further into the wonders of ginseng, ginger, lemongrass, and many other powerful tonics, showing off their beauty and touting their other sensory delights. Suggestions for working them into your diet and supplement regimen complement the theoretical information about why they work. Maybe it will motivate you to take a few steps away from Western medicine, toward remedies as close as the local grocer. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Asian Health Secrets Review, November 28, 1999

This review is from: Asian Health Secrets - A Practical Guide to Asian Herbal Medicine [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Letha Hadady's video Asian Health Secrets explains in an easy way how to balance the five elements in one's diet according to the Chinese principles of health.. This lively video captures the colorful markets in Chinatown so vividly that one can almost smell the fragrance of lemon grass and ginger. Her simple explanations to a balanced health are a wonderful example of her profound knowledge on this complex subject. It takes a truly gifted person to demystify the Asian health secrets and translate them into an easily understandable language.

Another great thing that came to me from this video was the Chi Gong breathing exercise for health and vitality. I have tried it and it really works.

Anyone interested in what the Chinese wisdom has to offer to the Western world will find this to be a required video in their library.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will be charmed by Letha., November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Asian Health Secrets - A Practical Guide to Asian Herbal Medicine [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In this delightful video Letha Hadady shares with you her years of experience and knowledge about traditional Asian remedies. Remedies that are accessible in the produce department of your grocery store or oriental market and as mysterious as ancient traditional Chinese medicines that can be ordered from stores listed at the end of the video. She explains how looking at the color of your tongue can sometimes reveal things about your health that if corrected will make you feel better and give you renewed energy. As you walk with Letha through Chinatown, she shows you many of the herbs and spices that the Chinese have used for hundreds to years to maintain health, well being, and vitality. In these times when medical costs are so high, and doctors spend less and less time with patients, it's important to take our health into our own hands, and try to stay as healthy as we can. Letha tells us how, with little effort, we can achieve better health. You owe it to yourself to buy this video. I can't think of a better gift to give someone than Letha Hadady's Asian Health Secrets, so they can start off the year 2000 as a...HEALTHY NEW YEAR!
