Product Information
The complete and authentic guide to America's extraordinary native healing traditions American Indian Healing Arts 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. Here are the time-honored tribal rituals performed to promote good health, heal illness and bring mind and spirit into harmony with nature. Here also are dozens of safe, effective earth remedies - many of which are now being confirmed by modern research. Each chapter introduces a new stage in the life cycle, from the delightful Navajo First Smile Ceremony (welcoming a new baby) to the Apache Sunrise Ceremony (celebrating puberty) to the Seminole Old People's Dance. At the heart of the book are more than sixty easy-to-use herbal remedies - including soothing rubs for baby, a yucca face mask for troubled skin, relaxing teas, massage oils, natural insect repellants, and fragrant smudge sticks. There are also guidelnes for assembling a basic American Indian medicine chest.Product Identifiers
