What Do Christians, Muslims, & Buddhists All Have in Common?
Haworth Press Author Kerry Hughes Has the Answer
SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 7, 2007 --
Incense! Hot off the press and set to be a burner, The Incense Bible:
Plant Scents Transcending World Culture, Medicine and Spirituality,
(Haworth Press) by Ethnobotanist Kerry Hughes, M.Sc., is a vivid tour
through the ages and through our psyche as she illustrates our
connection to incense for its use in health, spirituality and religion.
Hughes was struck by the fact that many of the world’s
main religions, as well as indigenous spiritual traditions, all used
incense. In her quest to understand why, she has uncovered our deepest
longings and need for connection to the divine and nature. The Incense
Bible is one of the first comprehensive guides on incense ever published.
Hughes is an expert in botanical medicines and dietary supplements, as
well as co-author of other highly regarded books in the field, including
The Health Professional’s Guide to Dietary
Supplements, by Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, September 2006. Hughes
is also the founder of Organo-Leptic, a business dedicated to high
quality natural incense: www.Organo-Leptic.com
The Incense Bible is a fun-to-read and thought-provoking
examination of the spiritual meaning of real, raw, natural incense and
how to use it in prayer, meditation, or simply in creating a home
environment to “reconnect”
with divinity and nature. This unique book examines the spiritual and
ritual uses of “pure”
incense (not sticks, cones, or synthetic mixtures), explores our
attraction to it, and explains how we can use it at home to increase
wellness. Filled with easy-to-use references, photos and
easy-to-understand technical information, the book also appeals to our
sense of adventure by taking us on an incense tour throughout the world.
The book looks at the use of incense for purifications and cleansings,
creative inspiration, meditation, worship and prayer, for inducing
dreams and sleep, to improve learning and problem solving, and as a
perfume for clothes, hair, and body.
