Footnote: The
natural botanicals were recognized by Native Americans as medicine-pure and simple form. There were no
synthetic, man-made substitutes that were deemed better. The Native people only used whatever "Mother
Earth" provided as medicine for her children. Using this philosophy they were able to heal one another.
How simple it was - how beautiful.
Botanicals can be used by applying compresses, boiled,
steeped and made into tea, leaves and flowers can be chewed, or made into pastes or poultices. If you
prefer not to collect your own medicine you can purchase Botanical extracts and concentrates from a local
Nutrition center or health food store. If you do not have one near you contact me for a supplier near
you.
For more information on herbal classes you can contact the Australasian School
of Herbal study. They have a several classes available.
I hope you have found this information
useful and interesting.
