This book is a magical blend of plant lore, history and living tradition that draws on a lifetime of study with Native healers by herbalist and ethnobotanist E. Barrie Kavasch. It contains more than sixty easy-to-use herbal remedies and guidelines for assembling a basic American Indian medicine chest.

great book!!!
Awesome book. It is definitely a reference text and something to keep on the shelves. I will never remember most of it, but I feel more educated and have a better grasp on many different aspects of Native life and culture.
A wonderful resource for the Native American way of healing through the seasons - an overview of many of the American tribes rather than a specific region. My interest lies in the fact that my grandmother had been taught the ways of native remedies through plant life as a young girl growing up in the hills of Georgia; the interest and learning carried over through her two daughters (my father's sisters) and ... not necessarily passed on but ...the interest continues.

My father gave me this at Christmas. I have just started picking it up a couple of times a week and reading a chapter. It is a really wonerful book with fantastic recipes and it also appeals to the history lover in me. One aspect that I really love about the book are the pictures of the leaves of plants it discusses and uses in recipes so I can visualize exactly what I would be working with when creating the balms, salves, teas, etc.
BEST BOOK EVER! I have used so many of these exercises and they are so effective! Thanks to this book also, I was able to complete the Native American recipe for herbal induction in pregnancy which brought our Olivia into the world :-)
