120 ailments.

In this rare collection of the acquired herbal knowledge of
Cherokee Elders, author J. T. Garrett presents the healing
properties and medicinal applications of over 450 North American
plants. Readers will learn how Native American healers utilize the
gifts of nature for ceremonial purposes and to treat over 120
ailments, from the common cold to a bruised heart. The book
presents the medicine of the Four Directions and the plants with
which each direction is associated. From the East comes the
knowledge of "heart medicine"--blood-building tonics and plants for
vitality and detoxification. The medicine of the South focuses on
the innocence of life and the energy of youthfulness. West medicine
treats the internal aspects of the physical body to encourage
strength and endurance, while North medicine offers a sense of
freedom and connection to the stars and the greater Universal
Circle. This resource also includes traditional teaching tales to
offer insights from Cherokee cosmology into the origin of illness,
how the animals found their medicine, and the naming of the
plants.
