About This Item
One World, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good . 6x1x9. For thousands of years, Native medicine was the only medicine on the North American continent. It is Americaâs original holistic medicine, a powerful means of healing the body, balancing the emotions, and renewing the spirit. Medicine men and women prescribe prayers, dances, songs, herbal mixtures, counseling, and many other remedies that help not only the individual but the family and the community as well. The goal of healing is both wellness and wisdom. Written by a master of alternative healing practices, Honoring the Medicine gathers together an unparalleled abundance of information about every aspect of Native American medicine and a healing philosophy that connects each of us with the whole web of lifeâpeople, plants, animals, the earth. Inside you will discover: The power of the Four Winds, the psychological and spiritual qualities that contribute to harmony and health, Native American Valuesâincluding wisdom from the Wolf and the importance of commitment and cooperation, The Vision Questâsearching for the Great Spiritâs guidance and lifeâs true purpose, Moontime ritualsâtraditional practices that may be observed by women during menstruation, Massage techniques, energy therapies, and the need for touch, The benefits of ancient purification ceremonies, such as the Sweat Lodge, Tips on finding and gathering healing plantsâthe wonders of herbs, The purpose of smudging, fasting, and chantingâand how science confirms their effectiveness.
