⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Glad I finally picked this up.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Every rereading turns up something I missed. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Good, with the caveats above.
Storl presents a compelling, albeit radical, alternative to standard Lyme disease treatments by weaving anthropology with herbalism. The emphasis on teasel root and detoxification offers a unique perspective for the spiritually inclined naturalist. However, this book does not suit readers seeking conventional medical advice or those skeptical of indigenous knowledge systems. It is also unsuitable for individuals unwilling to engage in rigorous lifestyle changes like thermal therapies. While the holistic approach is inspiring, it requires an open mind regarding non-traditional healing modalities. Those expecting a strict scientific clinical trial will be disappointed, but enthusiasts of esoteric botany will appreciate its depth.
