Asian Way of Wellness is the first interactive guide to herbal medicine, presenting breakthrough guidelines for self-diagnoses that help readers understand how to evaluate their personal health needs and use readily available herbs to treat common maladies, boost the immune system, prevent illness, maintain wellness, and ensure longevity. The author is a herbalist and accupuncturist.
This comprehensive work by an acupuncturist and herbalist brings the ancient knowledge of Chinese, Indian, and Tibetan herbal medicine to Westerners. Tools for self-diagnosis emphasize treating the person, rather than the illness, to ensure a healthy harmony of body, mind, and spirit. Herbs are recommended for a gamut of problems, ranging from eating disorders, arthritis, and PMS to sexual dysfunction and depression. Hadady tells how to prepare herbal remedies at home but also includes mail-order sources. A cross reference of herb names to their Chinese names and a general index and herb index are provided. This thorough volume is recommended as a definitive resource on Asian herbal medicine for popular alternative medicine collections.

Asian Health Secrets: The Complete Guide to Asian Herbal Medicine
I think the most disappointing part was the reliance on pills.
I came to this book via a conversation about traditional Chinese medicine and how it influenced cooking in SE Asia, so I was thinking of balancing meals, but she is so into the pills and capsules. For just one remedy you might take 30 a day; is it that much better that they are herbal?
As a New Yorker, maybe there is more difficulty in getting fresh herbs and produce or incorporating them -- the home city might at least explain all the heroin and cocaine references -- but it was just really disappointing. A large part of the disappointment was the dismissal of some pretty healthy foods (especially Mediterranean).
Her actual accreditation is in acupuncture, so maybe if she were writing about that I wouldn't keep thinking "quack", but as it was I thought that a lot, especially in the later chapters.
On the plus side she has a really high opinion of herself, so my criticism shouldn't hurt too much.
