American Indian Healing Arts: Herbs, Rituals, and Remedies for Every Season of Life

I really had high hopes for this book, after reading reviews and stuff about it ; it is good in a lot of ways and it does have a lot of wonderful recipes; but the pictures are not, in color, so if you are not what I would say a good Herbalist already or at least have a book that has colored pictures to compare with this might not be your book to me it’s for a more experienced person.

I am working with a Master Herbalist who is training me and this is one of several books recommended to me that I have purchased. The art of herbal remedies is a whole new world that is essential for anyone considering or now living off grid. I have gained so much knowledge in such a short time, and I have connected with local dealers that are purchasing bulk products that grow wild on my property. This same review applies to all of the herbal books I have purchased, I don't just recommend one but all of them for your library as a serious or novice herbalist!!!!

I recently ordered this book, and was very happy at it's speedy arrival. Thank you once again Amazon. But what I really wanted to comment on was how much I enjoyed the Book. It was very interesting and informative. I was also pleased that not only did I get a history of the Native American tribes that used various herbs in thier traditional medicines, But also the use of the herbs in thier rituals. I was also very pleased that they also included the recipes as well. I dont understand how some of the comments say that they book was too vague, it gave in detail how and when certain herbs were used. As well as the culture of the Native people's. This is a must read for anyone that is interested in a more natural way to treat illness or disease. I could not put it down once, I started reading. I can only say that I learned much more than I was expecting, I highly reccomond it for your personal herbal library.

Excellent book! Interesting read with lots of details.

As one who frequently reads scholarly articles in the science of oncology and medicine, this is a refreshing shift of pace. The authors have taken great care to weave the culture, folk lore and medicinal herbs and traditions of the a number of the number of native peoples of North America into an easily read text for most anyone whether lay person or professional. For anyone who has studied popular native american folklore, there is the added benefit this culture. Truly an enjoyable read.

insightful and informative ... would recommend for anyone who wants to learn or incorporate alternative healing practices, as well as those wanting to learn more about their native American culture

I was looking for a book with more information on herbs and recipes to use the herbs. This has mostly information on native American rituals throughout the span of a life. There are a few reciepes for things but not nearly as many as I was hoping for. Overall it's and interesting book but not exactly what I was looking for.

After looking at a number of similar books I found that this one best suited my needs. I teach Native American Studies and was glad to add this book to my personal library. I look for books that are user friendly and this one is. I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for Native American herbals.

A good friend of mine gave me this book long time ago, and now I have bought it again for another dear friend.It helps in a clear and simple but deep way to connect our body back with Nature.Only reading it will make you feel better, it shows us that life is simple, and honouring ourselves with small gestures is more healing than we think.I recommend this book to those who have understood that life can be sweet and calm even in the middle of a storm.

Good book but the pages were tatty from the press, the hadn't beet cut neatly at all and many pages were stuck together and had to be trimmed and cut, looks like a misprint or a reject, never mind the book itself is good even though it looks like a dog chewed it, I suppose it gives it character lol

Great book arrived promptly and in good condition. The contents of the book looks very interesting and it's been a pleasure to read so far.

Gorgeous book. Well written

I really enjoyed reading this book I did learn plenty of things concerning the way of healing into the aboriginal people from North America, I would love to read a similar book but from the tribes in central and south America
