Summary: Mysterious Healing Powers of Chicken Soup Found Out!
Review: Your Health Is in Your Kitchen is a small compendium of natural elements (including those found in most chicken soups) which relieve or suppress a lot of symptoms caused by hunger, fatigue and common ailments (i.e. colds). It also comes in handy as a guide and a planner for making recipes using the items it lists. I enjoy a hot toddy when I'm getting a sinus cold/sore throat and this book gives the basics of how to create one leaving the option of putting other items in the base up to the reader. The book also contains some interesting facts about some of the herbs/spices/plants noted. For instance, I'm sure most readers will know that Aloe Vera can be used for burns but did you know it that the juices can also be taken internally as a drink?

I found this book to be a fascinating read about the many herbs that are found most common in the kitchen. If I had any suggestions for future books, it would be to include more recipes (believed to be covered in a future book according to author's website), maybe tips on growing your own herb garden, and maybe a bit more depth on some other herbs that have, in recent years, been used to promote healing like Ginko Biloba.

Cheers to this book and many more successes.
