A complete guide to centuries-old Native American herbs and other remedies.
The modern techniques of holistic and alternative healing and natural remedies have been alive in the "old ways" of Native American medicine for centuries. This comprehensive guide introduces the Native American concept of healing, which incorporates body, mind, and spirit and stresses the importance of keeping all three in balance.
Dr. Anthony Cichoke explains the philosophy behind American Indian healing practices as well as other therapies, such as sweat lodges, used in conjunction with herbs. He examines each herb in an accessible A-to-Z format, explaining its healing properties and varying uses in individual tribes. Finally, he details Native American healing formulas and recipes for treating particular ailments, from hemorrhoids to stress. Bibliography. Index.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Knowledge Comment:
Perfet for any Culture , or People.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Book Comment: I believe this book is a "must-buy"; whether you want to discover the wonders of Native American traditional medicines or just interested in herbs. It's easy to read, and Dr. Cichoke provides the remedies for many illnesses.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of the best in my collection Comment: Another book you don't loan out, you'll miss having it for reference.
It lists recipes for ailments, and companies where you can purchase the items needed in the mixes.
I had to buy more than one, one for loans, one for keeps.
The best advice is also given in this book, just because one mix worked for another, it may not be the same for you. We are all different, and so are the many different species of plants. So it doesn't just give you one recipe for one ailment, unlike so many other herbal books.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Book Comment: This is a good book for beginners that teaches the basics of arrow making the traditional way. It also offers alternative ways using modern tools. If you are looking for the way a specific tribe/people made arrows then further research will be required as with any book on this subject. It does however give some detailed information on the arrow crafting techniques of some plains Indians.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Healing Spirit Comment: A magnificent compendium of Native American cures and treatments, which are just the thing unless you are actually, you know, sick.
