NATURAL REMEDIOS FOR EVERYDAY AILMENTSWhen the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs, they stumbled upon a treasure trove ultimately more valuable and lasting than the glittering mounds of Moctezuma's gold -- the herbal remedies and medicines developed by the Indians, which in many ways surpassed the rudimentary medicine of the Old World. The remnants of these cures, potions, infusions, and tonics form the basis of the countless natural remedies still used in many Mexican-American households today. Now, these healing herbs and remedies are brought together in a volume that is as practical as it is fascinating. In Infusions of Healing you'll find:
* The intriguing story of how this long-suppressed ancient knowledge was passed down over the course of five centuries.
* Hundreds of safe, effective herbal treatments for everyday ailments -- teas, liniments, compresses, salves, and soothing baths for headaches, colds, fevers, digestive disorders, menstrual cramps, skin problems, aches and pains, and much more.
* An alphabetical listing of more than 200 herbs and plants, from abedul (birch) to zarsaparilla (sasparilla), including their English, Spanish, Nahuatl (Aztec), and botanical names, with extensive notes on their histories and healing properties.
* Expert advice from today's traditional healers and practitioners of Mexican-American herbal medicine, many of their remedies recorded in print for the first-time.
Thorough, well organized, and rich with history, Infusions of Healing is a practical handbook for anyone interested in natural remedies, as well as an invaluable contribution to the preservation of a tradition deeply embedded in Latino culture.

Bedsure has impressed me again.
Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter), Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
Giving this a five star because it’s the millionth Bedsure bedding I have bought for my home. I absolutely love this company for its affordability and the quality of their products. I recently purchased the Mellow temp control duvet and needed a good quality cover. I immediately went to bedside and found this baby. It’s 100% organic cotton, you can verify it with the cards that are included and the color is perfect! I ordered the King size in the color Linen for my queen size bed because I like my comforters to hang off the sides. Out of the package, the cover was soft and has zero smell. I did wash it as instructed on a cold wash with both detergent and softener then dried on a no heat tumble for about 50 mins x I wouldn’t say this is wrinkle resistance right out of the dryer but the minimal wrinkles do not bother me as I’m sure it will smoothen out overtime. The quality of this feels soooo good, I can not wait to jump into bed later. Nothing makes me happier than a comfy cool bed and cool room at nights. I love that this has a zipper instead of buttons or ties. It gives the bedding a more cohesive look. My husband is not easily impressed with bedding the way I am and his comment was “this is so soft”. As you can see in the photo, my cat immediately took up residence on the bed as soon as I made it up.

Organic, Soft and Luxurious
Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
This 100% organic cotton duvet cover is luxurious! It is GOTS certified, Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, and even comes with its own birth certificate! The birth certificate shares the duvet’s name, place of birth, official badges and health status, personality, and fun facts! What’s not to love? If you want a duvet that is organic, soft and luxurious, I highly recommend this one. Bedsure even included 2 pillow cases.
