I spent today reading a book about Chinese herbal remedies. I was looking for something new to do, and I noticed it sitting on my mother’s cook book shelf. I nabbed it down and started reading. More like an index than anything else, it lists various herbs and the effects they have on the human body. Certain mixtures are good for differing parts of the body, such as the clearing of the respiratory system, or aid in digestion. Most of the information can be more easily found online, but this book was written before Al Gore discovered the internet, so I suppose it comes in quite handy if the power goes out, or if you live in a ditch without DSL.
