Book Description

September 1, 2004
In the tradition of Black Dog & Leventhal's successful Chinese Natural Cures, Healing Secrets of the Native Americans brings the age-old knowledge and trusted techniques of Native-American healing to a wider audience. From this clear, reliable, and beautifully packaged book, learn how Native Americans have used the bountiful gifts of nature to heal the mind, the body, and the spirit. Discover how the Native-American tradition uses plants and herbs, heat, movement and sound, visualization, and spirituality to heal dozens of everyday ailments and illnesses--from back pain to insect bites to flu and sore throat and much more.

Broken into sections, the book covers such topics as "The Healing Spirit" (including dream therapy, spirituality, and prayer), "The Native American Spa" (healing with heat, massage, sound and movement, and nutrition), "The Native American Pharmacy" (including more than 40 herbs and plants, how to obtain them, and how to use them), plus remedies for more than 40 ailments from acne to wrinkles.

This review is from: Healing Secrets of the Native Americans: Herbs, Remedies, and Practices That Restore the Body, Refresh the Mind, and Rebuild the Spirit (Hardcover)
I found this book extremely helpful. I have Fibromyalgia and mixed connective tissue disease which can cause painful muscles and joints, insomnia, and chronic fatigue among other things. By trying a number of the teas from this book I have been much more comfortable and sleeping well without the use of pharmaceuticals. It has been amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Offers a glimpse into the world of Native American healing, February 18, 2007

This review is from: Healing Secrets of the Native Americans: Herbs, Remedies, and Practices That Restore the Body, Refresh the Mind, and Rebuild the Spirit (Hardcover)
The original peoples of North America lived in a harsh and unpredictable environment. It is fascinating to learn how they managed to thrive while maintaining their sense of reverence for the earth and all living things.

I treasure this book because it is a reminder of how to live in harmony with nature.
