After being asked for decades to share her Persian grandmother's treasure trove of ancient remedies, beauty and wellness expert Firoz Salimi has finally penned a book. Mamanjoon's Secret Potions is the much-anticipated compendium of healing salves, tonics and elixirs, the Iran-born Firoz inherited from her extraordinary Mamanjoon.

Handed down by many generations of wise women, the homespun recipes have been lovingly collected by Firoz who has shared them for many years with her clients. The many time-proven ingredients used in the recipes include turmeric, pomegranate, roses, lavender and even sweet potatoes. She offers treatments for conditions including acne, ear infections, psoriasis, headaches, diabetes and dandruff. Beauty regimens - from exfoliants to masks -- help with all manner of beauty concerns such as under-eye puffiness, wrinkles, hair loss and dull and over-pigmented skin.
