From the back cover: This is not the usual herb book. Like most herbals, there will be information about plants, their uses, and herbal formulas, as well as Native American healing practices. But this information will be embedded in the Stories.
...it had been a dry summer and the forest floor crackled as he walked upon it. So the plants were very grateful that this two-legged was sharing water with them. As the Singer turned to go back to the ceremony grounds, he heard a small voice. He saw a plant that he did not know, and believed this plant was talking to him. The plant said, " My name is Throat Root. Pull me out of the ground and chew on a small piece of my Yellow Root. Keep it in your mouth during the ceremony and your voice will not fail you." And so, to this day, many of the Eastern Singers will carry Yellow Root with them and suck on a piece of root to help their voices.
The herbs in this book were used by the Native Americans and are native or naturalized to the lands east of the Mississippi
