A sampling of botanical remedies, an important aspect of Native American healing

Source: University of the Rockies

Native American healing is also a realm of culture in which the natural world is intrinsic. Native American medicine often does not differentiate between the ideas of healing and cure. These practices focused on individualized attention and emphasized the importance of reaching a natural balance, often with nutritional medicine and botanical remedies.

Recently, western culture has gained greater awareness of a need for a more congruent relationship with the natural world. This need is evidenced by our interest in renewable resources, our appreciation of the wonders of nature, and our newfound devotion to the preservation and protection of our planet.
