Publisher Marketing: 21 Super Healthy Herbs details the best herbs for improving health and for making meals that are the best tasting ever. Each herb has a full color illustration to show exactly what it is like. Herbs contain many different substances that can be a great benefit to health. Common herbs that we use in our cooking have been used as medicinal plants providing natural remedies for many centuries since ancient times. These days scientists are looking at these herbs once again and still making new discoveries about their properties. All of the herbs in this book can be considered as medicinal herbs. Even the humble Sage herb has many secrets to give up. It can be simply added to food or made up into tea and then you can benefit from all the wonderful health giving substances that it contains. The list of herbs given here are all healing herbs whether they be anti inflammatory herbs, herbs for depression, herbs for high blood pressure or herbs for weight loss. Natural herbs deserve to be at their best and as a result you should try and use fresh herbs rather than dried herbs when you can. Fresh herbs have more flavor and tend to keep some of the more fragile health giving compounds within them at their best. You can take the pure herbs on their own or as part of a meal. Mixing different types of herbs will give you the combined benefits of all of them. Get this book now and learn about what these 21 super healthy herbs can do for you. Contributor Bio:  Vincent, Ellen Ellen Vincent has seen at first hand the differences that whole natural foods can make compared to the pre-packaged, processed and sanitized food that we eat in the west. In her native Ghana food comes straight from the field and is prepared in traditional ways. Since living in the West she has sought to avoid the new foods that were presented to her and has embraced more natural diets. Green smoothies provide an excellent way of bringing these natural ways back into your life. She has found that there are great benefits to be gained from eating the raw foods included in green smoothies. After experiencing better health of body and mind from green smoothies she was determined to show the rest of the world how they too could gain a better and healthier lifestyle. Ellen is also interested in the natural care of hair and skin. She produces her own skin and hair care products from natural ingredients. These products have proved to be very successful and she is determined to produce a further book to show how these products can be combined with the benefits of green smoothies to produce a complete system where skin and hair are kept in perfect condition by conditioning them from both the inside and outside of the body. When thinking about our health and well being, you have to consider the fact that we really don't understand how all these modern chemical additives and treatments are affecting the human body. In the future people may look back in horror at what we have managed to do to ourselves, in much the same way that we view the use of poisons such as arsenic and red lead in cosmetics in the past. The best thing to do is to stick to the healthy options that come from the plants around us. Use the shea butter, coconut oils and other natural products because they have served us well for thousand of years and have never let us down. In all things, nature and not necessarily science and technology seems to know what is best for us.
