Cindy - “Many people are interested in finding ways to help themselves look and feel better as they age,” Burrows said. “I want to help people understand how super herbs and spices defend our bodies against disease and promote longevity. We can wake up our bodies by connecting with the fresh flavors and aromas from the plant kingdom.”

Soon after, she began teaching classes and writing for natural health outlets, educating people looking to take better care of their health.
Cindy - “My book is based on the health benefits I’ve seen in my own life. My hope is to help those who are looking to use natural plants to aid in their health and wellness, and explore the extraordinary world of herbs and spices in everyday food,” said Burrows.
