I found this book to be fascinating reading. It contains extremely interesting information about the Native American cultures & their uses of herbs. In this day and age when so many people are turning to alternative medicine I think anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of herbs & their uses would not be disappointed in this book. The recipe section gives great uses for herbs in the kitchen. Also, if you want to look up an ailment & find the herbal remedy for it, it's right there. I found this to be an excellent book.

For anyone who is interested in the use of healing herbs by Native Americans, or who is interested in herbs in general, this is the wrong book to read. It's full of misinformation of every kind, so much so that one wonders if the author's informants were pulling his leg. Plant misidentification, spelling errors, incorrect herbal information...it's all there. As a herbalist, my advice is that no one should use this book as a guide!
