Native American Medicine Before the days of pharmaceutical companies the Native Americans had to rely on natural remedies derived from the earth. Native American medicine combines herbs, spirituality and magic. This medicine is very similar to medicinal approaches used by the Chinese. The medicine uses medicine men or women to perform healings. Before treating a patient, the medicine man or woman must fully understand their condition. Once the medicine man knows the problem, an herb medicine is used to cure the problem. Native American doctors often recommend a ritual purification - to rid the body of harmful toxins that can cause a range of health problems.
Medicine man or medicine woman These are English terms used to describe traditional healers and spiritual leaders among Native American and other aboriginal peoples. Anthropologists tend to prefer the term "shaman" a specific term for a spiritual mediator from the Tungusic peoples of Siberia. The primary function of these "medicine elders" is to secure the help of the spirit world, including the Great Spirit (Wakan Tanka).
Herbal remedies Of the 10 top-selling herbs in the U.S. today, seven of them have been used for centuries by Native American healers. The herbs prescribed vary from tribe to tribe and depend upon what herbs are available in an area. According to tribal custom, you may take them as a tea or mix them with another beverage or with food. The healer might also burn certain herbs, such as sage, sweet grass, or cedar, during a ceremony and let the restorative smoke waft over the patient.
