The book beautifully blends historical context, cultural practices, and practical herbal knowledge, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness of this healing heritage. It's a valuable resource for those seeking to understand both the spiritual and medicinal significance of herbs in African American culture.

Emphasis on Self-Healing

I liked the emphasis on self-healing through vitamins and herbal means and the suggestion of growing your own herbs as well. I don’t agree with the idea of spells, potions or spiritual rituals that is incorporated, HOWEVER I found a lot of value in the medicinal side as well as the ideas for self-care such as finding what works for you so your hair is healthy. Definitely worth a listen.
