Traditional Herbalism, Modern Methods, and Spiritual Practice for the Medicine Man of the 21 st Century

Introduction

Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence.

Mourning Dove [Christine Quintasket] (1888-1936) Salish

W e live in a country where the cure for virtually any disease and ailment is within our grasp. In our forests, meadows, plains, and gardens grow small, seemingly insignificant flowers and herbs, plants that we dont look twice at, and trees of which we dont even bother to learn the name. Yet, they are the key to a better, healthier, and more sustainable way of life.

Our forefathers, more attuned with nature that we could ever imagine to be, understood that, and took carefully and sparingly the gifts that Nature offered to heal themselves and grow stronger.

We have lost that knowledge.

Only starting from the 1970s, a renewed interest in botanic medicine has uncovered the depth of the Native American knowledge of plants and their healing powers. The research has not only helped herbalists, but physicians and scientist as well that re-discovered substances that the Native Americans people knew about for hundreds of years.

This book is the unabridged companion to Native American herbs, their traditional and modern use, complete with appropriate doses and usage. The book is completed by a list of simple and effective recipes for the most common ailments .

You dont need to put at risk the delicate natural balance of your body by taking drugs and medications, if an easily available natural solution is just outside your door. Harvest carefully or grow your own herbs, learn to know your body and what works best for you, communicate with the nature surrounding you, and you will in a small way bring back a culture that for too long as been treated as inferior.

This book will teach how to find and treat the herbs the way the native American tribes did: from the forest to your herbalist table, but you will have to find your way to listen to your body and the plants around you.

To aid you in your holistic journey, we have decided to divide the book in three volumes. This first volume will give you a full theoretical approach to Native American medicine and the herbal medicines methods and preparations. The second volume is a complete encyclopedia of all the most relevant herbs used in traditional Native American medicine, complete with modern examples, doses, and where to find them, making it a very effective field guide. The third volume is a recipe book of sorts: it offers easy herbal solutions to the most common diseases a budding naturopath can encounter. It is meant as a jumping point to find your own way to treat yourself and your fellow man and will come in handy even to the most experienced herbalist.

Native American Medicine and Modern Uses

S ince the 1970s and ever more so today, there is a growing interest in the medicinal uses of herbs and plants for complementary medicine in the U.S.

Particularly, both amateur herbalists, professional healers, and physicians, have become aware of the use of herbs by Native American medicine. Many of the botanicals sold as dietary supplements today, have been used for centuries for the same purposes by Native American societies.

However, the commercialized supplements represent only a small fraction of the more the 2500 different plant species that have been discovered and used for their medicinal properties by Native Americans. We shall focus on the most common plants and their properties. This book is meant as an introduction to the native American herbal medicine and this chapter provides a brief explanation to the capital importance of the discoveries made by indigenous inhabitants of the North American continent for modern medicine.

Its an interesting perspective for an amateur or novice herbalist to know the history of the plants he/she wants to use both in traditional medical practices, as well as the current use in modern medicine and drugs. However, if you want to jump right into the herbal dispensatory, you may skip this chapter and read on the basics of herbology in the next chapter and on the plants themselves in the second volume.

Brief introduction on Native American medicine

Native Americans have used herbs medicinally for thousands of years. The first written record of the herbs they used and how they used them begins only with the first contact between Europeans and the tribes, including the Wampanoag, that inhabited the eastern shore of North America. Unfortunately, no written records of herbal use exist before that time to document exactly when they began healing with herbs.
