Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This compendium of garlic facts, lore, remedies (for humans and pets), and recipes is more a nutrient-of-the-month look at the herb than detailed health information. Spanning conditions from AIDS to yeast infections, the 92 remedies are presented in short, folksy, often anecdotal fashion culled from health and medical works listed in the book's extensive bibliography. Wilen and Wilen are the authors of popular alternative-healing books, with no stated qualifications. Many remedies are unattributed and some questionable, but caveats and suggestions to seek professional care abound. Of more value are detailed sections on how to deliver garlic's healing powers through, for example, syrups, poultices, and oils; how to evaluate garlic supplements; and how to deal with the herb in the kitchen or garden. The book concludes with nearly 100 recipes using a substantial amount of the herb, followed by lists of resources and garlic festivals and an index. This guide will be most useful in conjunction with more authoritative herbal texts. Penny Spokes
