Important information

Ingredients

The work of Rosita Arvigo and Michael Balik to bring the knowledge of the Mayan healers to the Western reader deserves due credit. This revised and enlarged second edition includes much additional information about the major herbs in the Mayan pharmacopeia. Their work proves that the rainforest has more value to mankind alive than cut down!

A General Novice guide

A General Novice guide
We visited throughout Belize in 2014 and the Medicine trail at the Hotel grounds that the mentioned Shaman had planted, used and shared his knowledge with this author. Sadly the trail has not been maintained by the hotel and they charge about $5US for a tour with a guide. Almost all kids in Belize seem to know these plants from a general tourist perspective but lack any experience in dosing or application. Here is the plant it is called saw palmetto....it is for your prostate. The Belize Mayan people did not have very nice things to say about the author of this book. We found everyone in Belize has an Uncle or Grandpa that is a Shaman. All had similar stories attesting to a goodwill agreement for sharing the knowledge and that a promise to help Mayan people was severed and not honored upon the Healer's death. They state the Author has made commercial profit in Belize without sharing education back into the community. That is the Belize side and she has her story I am sure. The book is not very scientifically backed or supported but is a very general guide. It would be next to impossible to I.D. any plants with the drawing in this book. The description of this book is from my wife a Family MD, Homeopathic and Herbal Medicine trained physician.

    I live in Panama, and this book is a wonderful and well used part of my well being! I do wish there were color photos if the plants, but with the help of friends, I have found many of the plants she describes. I found many of the remedies really work so much better than "the pills" my Drs prescribed!! The asthma I have struggled with all my life is finally under control, and I am so much healthier overall! I suggest you buy all 3 books to really understand the use of these plants.....It's worth it!!

    Great information and very detailed but the illustrations are just black and white sketches. It would have been really nice to have photos of the plants or at least colored sketches. A lot of plants look the same in black and white so it would be easy to get them mixed up in the jungle.

    I found many treatments I plan to keep in mind for the future. The book is an enjoyable read & if one is interested in healing outside of the medical establishment, this is a good quick quide. It even includes a source for the herbs & plants called for in the remedies. But in reality the other 2 books by this author are needed to go along with this reference book.
