I found this book to lack depth and explanation. It vaguely lists certain herbs and plants that are of a healing nature, but the true content I was looking for was not here. I wanted more in-depth remedies for particular ailments, where this book applies certain remedies to a very hazy and small range of problems. I was also looking for a guide to ritualistic traditions rather than unmeasurable herbal concoctions.

I recently ordered this book, and was very happy at it's speedy arrival. Thank you once again Amazon. But what I really wanted to comment on was how much I enjoyed the Book. It was very interesting and informative. I was also pleased that not only did I get a history of the Native American tribes that used various herbs in thier traditional medicines, But also the use of the herbs in thier rituals. I was also very pleased that they also included the recipes as well. I dont understand how some of the comments say that they book was too vague, it gave in detail how and when certain herbs were used. As well as the culture of the Native people's. This is a must read for anyone that is interested in a more natural way to treat illness or disease. I could not put it down once, I started reading. I can only say that I learned much more than I was expecting, I highly reccomond it for your personal herbal library.
