Movie Reviews of Native American Medicine
Movie Review: Fascinating information on Herbal Remedies
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have any interest in Native American herbal remedies this takes you through the list of healing plants and explains what each plant is used for in ceremonies. There is also information on the basics of creation from a Native American perspective. I found it to be very beautiful and educational.
If you already are aware of some of the plants they are discussing then you can verify this information with your own knowledge or look up items like Juniper berries in a Natural Health book.
Interesting facts presented in this DVD:
Ants will eat the centers out of Juniper berries so you can use them as beads.
Cedar is burned to purify the emotions.
Burdock cleanses the skin and cleanses the lymphatic system.
I am taking a product called Flor Essence (originally a remedy for Breast Cancer by Ojibway Indians in Canada) and it has burdock root, which is mentioned in this DVD. I didn't realize that it cleansed the lymphatic system but this makes complete sense in relation to cancer treatment.
This DVD takes you to the actual plants and shows you what they look like and explains how they are used. You could prevent colds, calm nerves, make a poultice from witch hazel leaves (who knew because mainly we see this as an astringent), heal gastric problems with fresh leaves, lower fever and cleanse the blood.
There is also information about how Naturopaths diagnose illness.
If you have been purchasing any herbal remedies you will recognize Elderberry, hawthorn, Hops, Nettles. If you love to cook, you will recognize Sage and Thyme.
I thought this was a beautiful explanation of natural remedies and it is much easier to imagine how Native American's collect herbs and use them in healing ceremonies when you see how they build the fires and understand why they carry hot rocks into a domed building. It is like learning about healing and a Native American spa treatment at a Sauna.
I felt such a connection with nature and natural remedies while viewing this DVD. Now I might be able to identify some herbs out in the wild. This journey into Native American medicine helps to explore the connection between spirituality and health by mainly focuses on herbal remedies.
