ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
This authoritative guide—based on the author's classic reference work, Indian Herbalogy of North America —is a portable illustrated companion for the professional and amateur herbalist alike. It provides detailed descriptions of 125 of the most useful medicinal plants commonly found in North America, along with directions for a range of uses, remedies for common ailments, and notes on the herbal traditions of other lands. Entries include staples of folk medicine such as echinacea and slippery elm as well as common kitchen herbs—such as parsley, thyme, and pepper—whose tonic and healing properties are less widely known.
USER REVIEWS
"This book is a great handbook of many Native American Herbs available to the public some of which can be found in an ordinary supermarket. However, if you truly believe in holistic healing amd homeopathic medicines like I do, you would be better off goiing to the source or to your health store. Some vitamins and herbs need to be taken on a daily basis so you can get the maximum results.
It explains the different medicininal uses, their origins, and the history behind it. A very informative book, and a must for those interested in holistic medicines."

"The American Indians had no SuperWalmart to run an buy some ibuprofan or aspirin at 10 o'clock at night. Oh, the pain, what would the do??? Why not chew on the bark of a white willow tree! This is a good book detailing over one hundred herbs commonly used by the American Indians for a variety of treatments. The book details the treatment, gives methods of application and a drawing. Would be better (but more expensive) with color pictures. Helpful to a degree, limited without enough scientific information for my own needs."
