Sacred Plant Medicine: The Wisdom in Native American Herbalism
Description
The first in-depth examination of the sacred underpinnings of the world of
Native American medicinal herbalism • Reveals how shamans and healers “talk”
with plants to discover their medicinal properties • Includes the prayers and
medicine songs associated with each of the plants examined • By the author of
The Secret Teachings of Plants As humans evolved on Earth they used plants for
everything imaginable–food, weapons, baskets, clothes, shelter, and medicine.
Indigenous peoples the world over have been able to gather knowledge of plant
uses by communicating directly with plants and honoring the sacred
relationship between themselves and the plant world. In Sacred Plant Medicine
Stephen Harrod Buhner looks at the long-standing relationship between
indigenous peoples and plants and examines the techniques and states of mind
these cultures use to communicate with the plant world. He explores the sacred
dimension of plant and human interactions and the territory where plants are
an expression of Spirit. For each healing plant described in the book, Buhner
presents medicinal uses, preparatory guidelines, and ceremonial elements such
as prayers and medicine songs associated with its use. Read more
