For centuries, Native American healers have used the gifts of nature to bestow health and healing on those in need. They have experimented with the fruits of the earth - berries, flowers, plants, and roots - taking note of their effects and benefits on the body as well as the spirit. And the knowledge of this ancient healing practice has been passed from one generation to the next.
Now, in this book, bestselling author Anthony J Chichoke imparts this knowledge to you. He explores the history of the use of more than 100 American herbs, including such newly popular ones as echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, and golden-seal. In an accessible yet authoritative style, his book provides an overview of the herbs and details their healthful constituents, forms in which they can be purchased, and ways to prepare them.
