Summary: A Diappointment
Comments: I was given1of Kate West's other books (RW's Garden), and thoroughly enjoyed it, even if some of the information was rather common knowledge. I purchased this book in the hopes of finding something that could be helpful to reference, with perhaps some new recipies and ideas to try.
Unfortunatly I was sorely disappointed. The fact that the author suggests the use of pre-made lotions and soaps is bad enough, however the fact that there appaears to be little research other than her own trial and error makes it all the worse. And to add insult to injury, my copy was missing4pages. Luckly this meant that I could take it back for a refund, however it just made the experience that much more annoying.
In short, look at other books before purchaseing this1- there are pleanty out there that deal with the advertised subject material in greater depth. |

Summary: Disappointing
Comments: I was so excited to bring this book home and couldn't wait to start making my own soaps, lotions, candles and incense. Upon reading the directions for these things however, I realized that I really had no need for the book. For example, she advised that to make soap you should purchase castille soap, melt it and add herbs and oils to it. I think I could have figured that1out without the book. There was a section on bath teas which were simply steeped herbal teas dumped into a bath (of course if you do not mind a gritty bath you can just throw the herbs in the bath water). The creative projects were all far less than creative, the recipes less than appetizing, however the section on personal grooming was condescending and downright wrong. I think the page that almost all upset me was about head lice. She advised that to deter them1should not wash their hair often and to treat them wrap a combination of oil, lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus and geranium on the head in a plastic bag and then pick out the stunned nits. Stunned!!? I am all for natural cures however in the case of head lice stunned simply isn't great enough for me. do not waste your money on this book. There are far better ones out there. |
