Native American Herbal Remedies
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I thought that this book was informative. He describes the herb, and the tribe(s) that used it, and how. There is several pages on the tribal tradition, but I would have liked to have seen more indepth about several of the more common tribes and their herbal medicinal usage and practices.
I really appreciated the author bringing together how the whole person must be treated in order to treat dis-ease. This is really missing in allopathic medicine.
I would recommend this book to any herbal practitioner that would like a different view of herbal treatment, using traditional Native American ways.

Good Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a good book for beginners that teaches the basics of arrow making the traditional way. It also offers alternative ways using modern tools. If you are looking for the way a specific tribe/people made arrows then further research will be required as with any book on this subject. It does however give some detailed information on the arrow crafting techniques of some plains Indians.
One of the best in my collection

Another book you don’t loan out, you’ll miss having it for reference.
It lists recipes for ailments, and companies where you can purchase the items needed in the mixes.
I had to buy more than one, one for loans, one for keeps.
The best advice is also given in this book, just because one mix worked for another, it may not be the same for you. We are all different, and so are the many different species of plants. So it doesn’t just give you one recipe for one ailment, unlike so many other herbal books.
Excellent Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I believe this book is a “must-buy”; whether you want to discover the wonders of Native American traditional medicines or just interested in herbs. It’s easy to read, and Dr. Cichoke provides the remedies for many illnesses.
