Dorothy Hall - author, herbalist

Anyone else have any of her books?

I picked one up off Trade Me a few years back (The Natural Health Book) and had a good read of it recently and really enjoyed it. It's old (mid 70's) but is packed with info on vitamins, minerals, good/bad foods, organic gardening, wild foods/weeds and how to use them. A good one to have on the shelf I think.

Yes, I have the natural health cookbook, the herb tea book, and What's Wrong with You? I also knew her personally. She had some very interesting ideas...

there's one on trademe, which I don't think sold: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Books/Nonfiction/Health-Lifestyle/Natural-healing/auction-233377562.htm

Interesting as in dodgy or intriguing that made you think and look at things differently?

I got to know her around 1989, and sent over hair samples from both children, for analysis.

I never told her a thing about either child.

Her analysis of them was spot on. She made up herbal mixtures for me, and the children.

I just wish I had got to know her a whole lot better than I did.

Oh, i can see I might need to look out for her other books. I liked her writing style - felt like you were sitting there having a chat with her.

What's wrong with you is really good.
