Product Description

The healing and therapeutic values of juicing has been widely reported over the past decade. Many ingredients found in your local grocery and health/alternative store have been shown to significantly help and improve certain health concerns with a daily juicing regimen.

"The Juicing Bible" is designed to appeal to people who believe juicing is a healthy alternative and for those who are interested in learning about how to begin juicing and incorporating it into their lives. Juices, teas, bitters, tonics, smoothies, and roughies can all be made with simple, delicious, easy to follow recipes. Many of your questions and concerns about such ailments as high cholesterol, colitis, and gallstones can be found within the pages of "The Juicing Bible." We even have a recipe to relieve a hangover!

"The Juicing Bible" is comprised of easy to follow sections. Section One lists the properties and healing qualities of almost 100 herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The second section lists 60 common ailments and the recipes specifically created to alleviate these conditions. The final section contains over 150 delicious recipes and even suggests which types of juices work well during specific times of the year.

While almost everyone knows about the therapeutic value of echinacea in treating colds and flu, did you know that thyme relieves coughs, throat infections and bronchitis? Or that cinnamon promotes digestion and relieves nausea? Just by using an apple in your juice, you help to lower your cholesterol, maintain blood glucose levels and aid digestion. The simple carrot is a titan among vegetables: it contains antioxidants, anti-cancer, artery-protecting, and immune boosting properties. Carrots also help to counter the formation of kidney stones and relieve arthritis and gout.

Juicing alone will not guarantee good health and wellness, so "The Juicing Bible" also provides information about other positive lifestyle initiatives which can impact on disease. Stress management, relaxation exercises, yoga, and the avoidance of toxins are all part of the wealth of information found within its pages.

From Booklist
Advocates of fruit and vegetable juices cite the high levels of vitamins and antioxidants in these products. Ironically, juicing requires an electrically powered machine to reduce raw fruits and vegetables to a drinkable liquid state. Pat Crocker and Susan Eagles have produced The Juicing Bible to stretch the imagination of those who own juicing machines. They promote unusual combinations of juices such as beets, ginger, apple, celery, chile, and garlic to vary otherwise humdrum products. While some may question the health-claim benefits outlined in the book's first half, interest in healing through natural foods continues to grow. The book's extensive lists of juice combinations make it a very useful reference. Mark Knoblauch

Customer Reviews

This book has EVERYTHING!
This is a great book. It is much more in-depth than your average juicing book. It's separated into quite a few sections, ranging from simple juices to recipes for using the leftover pulp.

It starts off with a mini-encyclopedia listing herbs, fruits and veggies which can be used in your juicing. Offered is a quick summary of each item, how to use it in juicing, and health benefits of each (good for digestion, cooling, antispasmodic, etc.). Then, there's a section on common health illnesses which lists juices (and other juice-type items, all of which have recipes in the book) that may help the ailments, as well as dietary tips, foods and herbs that may help the disorder, and some lifestyle changes to try.

The rest of the book has the following sections:
1. Fruit Juices
2. Vegetable Juices
3. Cocktails -- these are juices with a little something extra, like yogurt, milks, spices, etc.
4. Frozen treats -- most of these recipes utilize leftover pulp from juices
5. Roughies -- these are actual food recipes, using the juicing pulp from other recipes
6. Smoothies -- uses juices and frozen fruit
7. Digestive Aids and Cleansers -- the title section speaks for itself
8. Milk substitutes -- recipes for nut milks, apricot milk, fig milk, etc.
9. Coffee substitutes
10. Teas and Tonics -- these recipes are mostly for medicinal teas which are geared towards alleviating body ailments and/or aiding and encouraging natural bodily functions and processes.

For those of you looking for a straight forward book that just offers simple, basic juicing recipes, this is not for you; all of the extras will definitely turn you off. But for those of you looking for something that goes beyond your standard carrot-apple combination, this is sure to please. This book really goes above and beyond your typical juicing guide, with options for those that want to add a little more to their juices and really utilize every part of produce used.

There is a section on smoothies and medicinal teas as well. An excellent book - the only juicing book you'll ever need. A perfect gift for a health conscious friend, or one who should be. Enjoy!
