"Whether one is suffering from respiratory ailments, diabetes, gastric problems, or insomnia, there's a tea that can help, says health writer Orey, whose latest tome--the sixth in her Healing Powers series, after The Healing Powers of Vinegar--explores the centuries-old brew that's steeped in history and culture. Touting tea as a "heart-healthy, cancer-fighting, and anti-aging superfood," Orey takes a look at this "ancient medicine" one type at a time (black, white, green, red, and herbal), outlining the health-promoting properties of each while sharing personal anecdotes, insights from tea masters and experts, and points of interest on the tea timeline, such as the accidental invention of the tea bag. The author devotes pages to tea-based home remedies, beauty treatments, household-cleaning tips, and pairings with meals and desserts. Confirmed enthusiasts of the drink will most appreciate Orey's well-constructed and comprehensive guide; foodies and those with an interest in alternative-health therapies will also want to thumb through it. (Dec.)" --Publishers Weekly The Healing Powers of Honey (tradecover and new gift size mass market) and The Healing Powers of Tea "...I was consulted early on for the honey book, and it is basically a collection of everything good you've ever heard about honey all in one place, with every statement referenced. The Honey Board, and a host of other experts are quoted and referenced. If you've heard, or a customer has heard of something good about honey, you can find it here. There's some history, a bit about flavors, using it with cinnamon, tea (see the Tea book, next), cooking with honey and resources and recipes.The Tea book is similar. It talks about, black, green, white, red and herbal teas, their nutrients, history and more about these and other teas. There are recipes for cooking with teas, and again, pages of resources. And, of course, there is no other combination that beats tea and honey, and that relationship is explored again. And of course, teas contain a boatload of healthy polyphenols, and more to add to the rest of your healthy diet.I like Cal's books, she has more on vinegar, olive oil, chocolate and coffee. They are fast and easy to read, and good references for the topics covered." ­-- Kim Flottum, Bee Culture Magazine, May 2018 Review from goodreads.comby Vanessa (GoodReads user published 2018-01-16 ) 2 of 2 people found this review helpfulWhat a great book.
