I had this book in my car and a individual who shall remain nameless saw it and borrowed it for the last month. Now that it’s dog eared, highlighted, and back in my possession I can finally give it a review. My official recommendation? Buy it yesterday!
The complete title is Organic Body Care Recipes: 175 Homemade Herbal Formulas For Glowing Skin and a Vibrant Self. The author is a licensed aesthetician and aromatherapist. This isn’t her first book, but it may be her best. As well as the traditional stuff like recipes for scrubs, masks, and herbal steams, there is alternative health information about:
- Tanning Potions and After-Sun Relief
- Body Exfoliants
- Aromatic and Deodorizing Body Powders
- Foot Care
- Hand and Nail Treatments
- Herbal Oral Hygiene
My favorite, however, is Chapter 7—For Women Only: Delicate Subjects. Guys, if you’re squeamish stop reading now. This chapter covers douches, massage oil for the breasts, and aids for preventing stretch marks in pregnancy. Yeah, you heard about it here first—herbal douches :)
At last, a way to do EVERYTHING naturally! Thanks for the tip!
