Review Quotes: "She suggests habits you could acquire that may facilitate your healing, like journaling, positive affirmation, prayer, and therapies with light, color gems and crystals, and your choices of food. What you eat on a daily basis can make a difference. In short, there is probably nothing you've heard of that cannot be applied to addiction for positive results...This materia medica--list of herbs in alphabetical order--is an impressive range of herbs from Alfalfa to Yerba Santa. These herbs have a particular affinity for stages of withdrawing from an addiction."-- "Herbology East and west"
