Umm...,
This review is from: Latino Folk Medicine: Healing Herbal Remedies from Ancient Traditions (Paperback)
I was really hoping to like this book a lot. I ordered it used and am sort of glad that I did. To begin with, the author writes in sort of an obnoxious way. About every 5 sentences or so he uses the phrase "according to one source". That gets a little old after the first chapter, Im not kidding he actually uses this like every 5 sentences. Add to that the author seems to have a somewhat negative view of Santeria. He wrote this book about Curanderismo and mexican folk practices and sort of makes a comparrison that curanderismo is good and santeria is bad. He also calls Brujeria black magic. I think the author needs to do some better research before he writes these things. I will say that the actual herbal section is pretty well researched and has some usefull information. All things considered buy this one used, it's not worth full price.
