s we welcome the New Year, we greet the future with restored hope and a renewal of spirit. Many of us make a habit of starting the new year fresh with motivation to do and be more – more productive, more joyful, more in touch with nature or more balanced. For some of us, this goal might be focusing on our healthier (and this might include losing weight). Luckily, integrating herbs into our diet can do just that! If you have already sought a guaranteed trick to get rid of those extra pounds (in vain), then you can now breathe a sigh of relief. We bring you a complete manual on how to lose weight using natural methods that will significantly ease your journey (pages 10-23). January and February are very interesting months, full of spirituality, family warmth, but also visions of new beginnings and changes for the whole upcoming year. We will reveal which fresh herbs are at hand and which are suitable for consuming at this time of the year. You will also uncover which organs are most active in these months and tips for paying more attention to them. As we are combining the themes of cooking and slimming, you can look forward to some timely recipes. All are oriented to an herbal diet, which will cleanse your mind and body. They will also benefit the organs active in the winter months, and you can rejoice in connecting several useful methods for working on the health of your body and soul. Wishing you a healthy and joyful new year and a pleasant reading of My Herbs, Kelsey Quinn & the whole My Herbs family
