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., A practical guide to the medicinal uses of over 450 plants and herbs as applied in the traditional practices of the Cherokee. * Details the uses of over 450 plants for the treatment of over 120 ailments. * Written by the coauthor of Medicine of the Cherokee (40,000 copies sold). * Explains the healing elements of the Four Directions and the plants associated with them. * Includes traditional teaching tales as told to the author by Cherokee Elders.
