The human spirit is what makes this book a must have!,
By ~bobbi "crvgrl" (Liberty, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earth and Spirit: Medicinal Plants and Healing Lore from Puerto Rico (Paperback)
I found this book on a recent to Puerto Rico to visit family. The book creates an immediate respect for the land of Puerto Rico. The interviews bring you right there to glimpse into the lives of the midwifes (curanderos) and healers. Maria Benedetti, a NewYorican empirical herbalist, paints a beautiful picture of what it was like to go "home" for the first time in 1987 to work on this book. Her love for the people presented in the book shine through. She illustrates the need to "conserve Puerto Rico's herbal wisdom and resources." The book also contains a section on medicinal plants and how to prepare remedies, two indices on medicinal plants by name and family (Spanish and English) and a Puerto Rican glossary. If you are intersted in green medicine, the Caribbean or enjoy the human experience, this book is a MUST!!! |
