<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of the most complete and authentic books available on Native American healing traditions, with dozens of natural remedies for everyday use. Illustrated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>American Indian Healing Arts</b> 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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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 repellents, and fragrant smudge sticks. There are also guidelines for assembling a basic American Indian medicine chest.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A tapestry of stories, prayers, legends, myths, and herbal traditions that shows the oneness of all humanity and echoes the familiar patterns of American Indian culture from Alaska to Brazil.
