native american medicine information

Native American Medicine has a long tradition and has been practiced for millennia.  It is based on traditions that address the needs of the body, the mind, the spirit and nature to produce the power of healing from within.  There is no single “type” or description of Native American medicinal practices – each tribe and even community practices their own unique versions, ceremonies and rituals.  There are commonalities to be sure but individual practices are varied among the Native American Nations and peoples.  One primary common thread is the influence of the “Great Spirit” as part of the healing experience.
