HEART AND ITS HEALING PLANTS by Wolf D. Storl

This is a wonderful weighty book, printed with plentiful full-colour illustrations on heavy paper. It’s not just an overview of plants that are good for heart health but a survey of all the lore around the heart and the possibilities - that often reside in myth and legend - for a healthier heart function. It’s not just a vigorous and sophisticated pump but it also has significant endocrine and nervous system functions. In ways - to echo how it is seen poetically - it is a major centre for the emotions and the author speculates that the current epidemic of heart disease is partly a sign that we are disconnected from natural cycles. He delivers many insights into psychological and spiritual aspects of these ailments.
