      Introduction

      Herbal therapy has been reintroduced in a variety of ways under the name of alternative medicine. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and other forms of supplementary treatment are included. Herbal remedies, which can be dietary supplements, tea components, oils, or powdered substances, are used in herbal treatments to help people recover from common diseases and other health issues. Professional herbalists use Native American herbs to treat a wide range of health conditions, including arthritis, skin illnesses, asthma, shattered bones, hormone imbalances, and many more. To be effective, the herbs must be mixed as directed and consumed at the recommended dosage. Furthermore, they must originate from regulated sources that ensure quality.

      The purpose of this book is to introduce you to some of the traditional. Herbs that have been used for many years and are frequently passed down via families Herbs are utilized by a large percentage of Americans, and a rising number of doctors are suggesting them to their patients. Native Americans discovered many years ago what lab experts have recently confirmed: the world of plants is a magnificent regular drugstore. Many of today’s medications contain molecules that are almost comparable to those found in nature.

      A substantial chunk of our remedies are unavoidably derived from botanical preparations effectively used by Native Americans. Herbal medications are medications made from plants.These drugs have a long history of being used to treat a wide range of diseases.

      This is because the plants used in traditional herbal medicine have been proven to have medicinal characteristics. Some people prefer herbal remedies to conventional therapies because they do not have the same negative side effects as pills or antibiotics created in labs and marketed under a brand name. Herbal therapies are still widely used today because they provide an alternative to the expensive pharmaceuticals that physicians frequently give carelessly.

      Native Americans are admired for their knowledge of medicinal plants. It is believed that they first used plants and herbs for healing after witnessing animals ingesting such plants when they were ill. To avoid overharvesting, the medicine men would select every third plant they came across. Native Americans saw life through a spiritual lens. A person must have a sense of purpose in life and follow a fair, harmonious, and balanced path to be healthy.
