"I met Darlena L'Orange sixteen years ago when I was an overworked counselor for social services agencies. I went to her for assistance with stress and headaches. Her gentle techniques and candidly fresh style captivated me. I realized I was before a true curandera, the kind that envelopes in you the will for self-improvement, peace and wellness. I have followed Darlena's career all along, referring friends and clients to her for diverse health problems. Her greatest gift comes from eloquently and clearly making the language of healing communicable. I am extremely pleased that she is now able to bring all of her distinguishing, empowering characteristics into manageable literataure. Those who can communicate with the soul and the intellect, as well as the flesh, are few and far between. Darlena is the most authentically touching and hard-working (well-researched) acupuncturist/herbalist one could know in person as well as through her writings. Her soul travels well on paper."

"I have been a patient, friend, and colleague of Darlena's for the past twelve years and have always been inspired and encouraged by her integrity. In Herbal Healing Secrets of the Orient she brings in very complex information and simplifies it so it can be used by the public. She is the physician that Hippocrates spoke of, "Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine." Not only has she developed herself as a master acupuncturist and herbalist, but also as a culinary artist. Darlena has learned to incorporate the wisdom of many ancient healing systmes into her medicinal recipes. She has not only taught me life enhancing ways of eating, cooking and taking herbs, but has likewise helped numerous patients of mine. In all ways she is a treasure. I think so, my family thinks so, and so do my patients. We're all thrilled that this book is now on the market so we can apply its healing principles in our self-care programs. I regularly give my patients excerpts and recipes from Herbal Healing Secrets!"
