Book Description

Karma, neither luck nor fate, is an active choice to do no harm, to improve our self, help others and be gentle with the earth. Karma Herbs written by natural health expert and Media personality, Letha Hadady, D.Ac., and beautifully illustrated by her mother Letha Elizabeth Hadady, engages the reader in a journey of self discovery and natural healing using herbal medicines which are part of Nature's innate balance and bounty. Adapting medical theories originating in China, India and Tibet, we may view the body/mind/spirit as vital energy and life force. In Karma Herbs, self observations and modern medical research elucidate energy patterns that impact our daily health and wellness. Individualized diet and safe, time-tested vegetarian herbal treatments using easily available pills and teas, provide for a wide variety of health issues such as weight loss, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, colds and flu, menstrual and menopausal discomforts, poor immunity to major illnesses, chronic fatigue, memory problems, and sexuality. Guidelines for monitoring health improvements throughout the book help the reader to become an active participant in self-healing. Up to date sources for herbal products are provided: Trusted Internet herbal sources are live links in the eBook. Karma Herbs, based on forty years of work in alternative medicine, replaces Letha's best-selling pre-internet book Asian Health Secrets: the complete guide to Asian herbal medicine. Karma Herbs eBook offers simple home treatments, many entertaining case studies and encyclopedic information on rare and common herbs and spices. It may be a useful tool to facilitate communication with Asian healers who until now have been unable or unwilling to share their knowledge. Karma Herbs translates the ancient, esoteric medical systems of the East making them accessible for modern use. About Letha Hadady:"Hadady is an ambassador between curious North Americans, trying to overcome their ignorance of alternative medicine, and Asian herbalists, who are uneasy about opening their customs to the scrutiny of outsiders."-Newsday, L.A. Times syndicate"The tall, slender herbalist found her calling after a life-threatening illness. . . Her encyclopedic knowledge of health and beauty is evident."-Daily News"Letha unearths the wisdom of the ancients."-New York Post"Letha has all natural ways to change your life. And she looks so young!"-Barbara Walters, "The View" ABC television

Book Description

In Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance, John M. Riddle showed, through extraordinary scholarly sleuthing, that women from ancient Egyptian times to the fifteenth century had relied on an extensive pharmacopoeia of herbal abortifacients and contraceptives to regulate fertility. In Eve’s Herbs, Riddle explores a new question: If women once had access to effective means of birth control, why was this knowledge lost to them in modern times? Beginning with the testimony of a young woman brought before the Inquisition in France in 1320, Riddle asks what women knew about regulating fertility with herbs and shows how the new intellectual, religious, and legal climate of the early modern period tended to cast suspicion on women who employed “secret knowledge” to terminate or prevent pregnancy. Knowledge of the menstrual-regulating qualities of rue, pennyroyal, and other herbs was widespread through succeeding centuries among herbalists, apothecaries, doctors, and laywomen themselves, even as theologians and legal scholars began advancing the idea that the fetus was fully human from the moment of conception. Drawing on previously unavailable material, Riddle reaches a startling conclusion: while it did not persist in a form that was available to most women, ancient knowledge about herbs was not lost in modern times but survived in coded form. Persecuted as “witchcraft” in centuries past and prosecuted as a crime in our own time, the control of fertility by “Eve’s herbs” has been practiced by Western women since ancient times.
