Book Reviews of Hygieia: A Woman's Herbal
Book Review: Really weird, even for me.
Summary: 1 Stars
I think part of the reason I hated this book was because of the foul language, I guess trying to "reclaim" some words so that they can no longer hurt us. Ugh. But truly, it's the just plain cliche hippie-ness of it. I mean, come ON. There are way more accessible books out there on women's health, and even on learning to be comfortable with being a woman and overcoming patriarchy. Birthing From Within, anything by Christiane Northrup, Our Bodies Ourselves, and on and on. PLUS, there was little real info on herbs, just recommendations to go out and ask the herbs what we should do with them, with the implication that the herb would have the effect that we believe it to have. This was too far out for even me.
I even happily did some of the freaky weird stuff in this book before I'd read it, and I also really enjoyed Baker's prenatal yoga audio tape, but I found myself rolling my eyes so many times as I read through it.
It was very educational in some ways. I had such a realization of why people hated hippies. Now I know what they were like and how unscientific, loopy, and just plain dangerous they sounded.
