Juliette of the Herbs

This charming documentary about Juliette de Bairacli Levy, a herbalist and breeder of Afghan dogs took me in to a whole 'other' world. She was the real MEDICINE WOMAN who roamed the world visiting such places as Spain where she helped learn from the Gypsies what plants heal. Her simple, dedicated, beautiful, inspired Life gives me hope to do the same in my own small fashion. I loved this. I am sad she is no longer with us as I would enjoyed meeting this wonderful lady. The footage appears fairly dated but nonetheless very worthwhile watching and learning from her skills.

I had seen this film before, borrowed from a friend, so I bought it. Juliette de Bairacli Levy wrote numerous books, particularly on the healing of animals. She was a person who lived a semi-nomadic life, and cared for animals and nature. When she wanted to learn about natural healing, she went to the gypsies. This film is about her life. She walks through most of it, talking about her ideas and experiences. She was a kind and gentle soul. But it was made when she was an old woman, about to leave her beloved home in Greece, and she died shortly after it was filmed, so I was grateful that this lovely film was made at all.

Being an "herbalist" myself, Juliette's de Bairclay Levy's books have been a guide to me ever since I first learned of her and her amazing life. This DVD is the "cherry" on top of a delicious chocolate Sunday. She was an amazing woman, who left a world wide legacy, which is somewhat captured on this beautiful DVD! Not enough good things could be said about both her and this film which tries to tell her amazing story! It's difficult to "flaten out" a genuinely inspiring person's life into film, but this is a great effort. What a legacy for all involved!Darlene from Kansas, the "Land of OZ"

The production values of this documentary are a little basic, but this is the story of a loving, and much loved woman whose life was a little rough around the edges. Juliette de Bairacli Levy's inspirational life as a herbalist and animal healer is summed up rather briefly in this documentary (a mere 75 minutes), and it feels like there is much more to be told about the life of this beautiful person.If I feel a bit disheartened or directionless, watching this woman's motivational story turns me around very quickly. Juliette's story and spirit serve as a guiding light, a reminder to live sustainably and be more connected with nature and the animals.

Love this! 9/10. A person the average 'Ego' would not take the time to listen to, But the lady has had years of experience restoring people, and animals, and lands, to a more healthy position in life, using Natural things of the planet. She loves plants and her beautiful Afghan dogs. Her story is a 'Must See' either the DVD or books, is relevant for today. I believe lots of Health conscious people should take the effort to see Juliette's books or the Amazon's DVD. - resco, Australia

This CD is a treasure, as is/was Juliette. Only other than Amazon copies are available so I knew it would be 2nd hand, however was still disappointed that it stalled right in the beginning. I cleaned it as best I could and was able to see it throughout. Hope it does not fail in future as it's a movie I hope to view many times. It did arrive promptly.

Love this dvd.Nicely done documentary on the life of herbalist Juliette Bairacli de Levi.Shows pictures of her life in the past with the gypsies, her home and gardens on the island now (before she moved), and interviews with her from recent times.Sadly she is no longer with us, but this is a great dvd of her life, love of herbs, and useful information on the use of herbs in healing.Well worth it....wish it was even longer.

Totally inspiring and authentic.Just what we need today.Unfortunately,color was washed out and quality of film was grainy.(I bought one copy for me and one as a gift for a friend.)
