NATIVE AMERICA / HERBALISM "The first in-depth analysis of the
processes used by Native Americans to communicate with the plant
world for the purposes of healing human illness. It is a work long
overdue by an author who himself 'talks' with plants as Native
Americans have always done." WILLIAM S. LYON, author of The
Encyclopedia of Native American Healing and Black Elk: The Sacred
Ways of a Lakota "Buhner articulates the sacred underpinnings of
the herbal world and deep ecology as only a real 'green man' can."
DAVID HOFFMANN, author of Medical Herbalism As humans evolved on
Earth they used plants for everything imaginable--food, weapons,
baskets, clothes, shelter, and medicine. Indigenous peoples the
world over have been able to gather knowledge of plant uses by
communicating directly with plants and honoring the sacred
relationship between themselves and the plant world. Because they
locate their consciousness in the heart, they are able to use the
intelligence of the heart to merge their consciousness with the
consciousness of any living organism. In Sacred Plant Medicine
Stephen Harrod Buhner looks at the long-standing relationship
between indigenous peoples and plants and examines the techniques
these cultures use to communicate with the plant world. He explores
the sacred dimension of plant and human interactions--a territory
where humans experience communications from plants as expressions
of Spirit. For each healing plant described in the book, he
presents medicinal uses, preparatory guidelines, and ceremonial
elements such as prayers and medicine songs associated with the use
of the plant. STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER is an Earth Poet and senior
researcher for the Foundation for GaianStudies. He lectures
throughout the United States on herbal medicine, the sacredness of
plants, and the intelligence of nature. He is the author of nine
works of nonfiction and one book of poetry, including The Secret
Teachings of Plants and the award-winning The Lost Language of
Plants.
