In 1992 Lalitha (co-owner of Rasa Creek Farm) was commissioned to put together a book on the use of herbs that would be easily accessible to the general public. The result was 10 Essential Herbs, which has since sold over 30,000 copies in five languages. Garlic is, of course, one of the 10 Essentials and while many people already know about garlic as a powerful antibiotic and fungicide, it's the rare individual who can use this amazing little herb to its full potential. Lalitha spent eleven years in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts training as a Master of Herbalism under the tutelage of renowned herbalist, Eva Graf.
