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.

Cut tight, good quality and price.
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Medium
Well made, the material is soft, and comfortable. It’s tight without being clingy. It didn’t shrink when I dried it on medium. The color is as shown and its not see through but is cut tight. So if you have a little extra weight in your stomach area it will not be flattering. Great price and good quality. I’m 5’6, 138lbs, and wear a 36C. I bought a size medium.

Comfortable women’s top, excellent for nursing!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I needed a new breastfeeding friendly tank top as I am postpartum and gained some weight. This is so comfortable and easily accessible for feeds. I wear it around the house and to sleep in. At a fraction of the cost of the more expensive brands nursing tops, this is a great practical, comfortable buy. The material is thick but breathable and not restrictive and non see through. Sizing is spot on. I am 5’4 and 160 lbs and I bought a Large. Overall this is a durable piece that is a staple in my postpartum wardrobe.

Great top for summer!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I bought one of these. The v-neck and fit of the tank top is amazing! Flattering! I loved it so much I ordered two more. Great summer tank! Washes and dries fabulously as well. I am 5’4” 150lbs, wear a medium or size 8-10. I purchased a large and love the look. It fits well, not too tight but hugs the body. Not oversized.

True to size & color, modest cut, fitted style
Color: Purple, Size: Small
The cut on these tops are perfect. It's a nice v-neck without being revealing. Thick straps and solid back so your bra doesn't show. Sizing is accurate in my case. 5'6" 130lbs chest 34" waist 26" hips 39" and I ordered the small which is fitted on me. I ordered the lavender purple and a black one and both colors are correct in shade. Soft and stretchy material. I air dry them mostly and only gentle low on the dryer if needed and have not had any shrinking.
