For more than twenty years this pioneering work had served as a bible for herbalists throughout the world. It is an illustrated encyclopedic guide to more than two hundred medicinal plants found in North America, with descriptions of each plant's appearance and uses, and directions for methods of use and dosage. Native American traditions are compared with traditional uses of the same plants among other cultures where the science of herbs has flourished, particularly in Russia and China. Included is an annotated bibliography of pertinent books and periodicals.

Great!

Great!
The book is great! Has TONS of plants in it and is very informative. I am a little disappointed that the pictures are black and white and are more like drawings than actual pictures. Some of the plants listed don’t even have pictures so i have to look them up to properly identify them. Other than that i absolutely love it. I bought it used and it looks brand new!

I bought this book as a young mother many years ago and lost it in a move and could not find it. So happy Shambala put it back into print. I used herbs with great effect in raising my three children and now with health issue i need to use it to care for my health. This is a great book for Americans that want to use herbs of their region.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christian Perspective on the Healing Herbs of America
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2008
Verified Purchase
This herbal book was good,yet could have been better.Firstly,the title is misleading.The book is more about the current medicinal methods and uses rather than what the traditional uses and beliefs were.There is very little information about Native Americans and how they used their herbs.There is more attention to the 'Russian experience' and Chinese studies ,in the area of herbalogy.But,little concern for what the Indian shaman did with their plants and herbs.Secondly,the sketches are excellent.Yet,only half are Native American.The rest are russian herbs and plants.This is not a bad book,yet it is a misnomer to label it 'Indian Herbalogy'.Lastly,it is rather weak to pass it off as an all-natural native pagan book.The authoress was quite influenced by Nicholas Culpepper,the famed father of classical herbalogy.Maybe Alma Hutchens is Old School,like herbalist Clarence Meyer.Or she feared her book would not have mass readership,if she had taken a heathen earthy tone.In Culpepper's tome,he points out the biblical verse of God's acceptance of Mankind using the plants and herbs of the Good Earth.At any rate,i would recommend reading this fine herbal book as an addendum to one's herbal studies.This book has many interesting facts and histories,yet not so connected to Native Indian shamanic herbal wisdom.

Indian Herbalogy if North America is a terrific book chok full of informative, invaluable information. I was indeed hesitant to but it after reading some reviews. But I am going to say that I've learned.. You can't always go by good reviews or bad reviews... Every one always has a different opinion and sometimes you have to go with your own gut. Humans are very opinionated people. Basically if up feel a tug... Go for it :) BTW to viewers.. Yes Herbology is the correct defined spelling for the subject.. However Herbalogy works just fine as it is Also defined as a variable:) don't let that intimidate you into no lt buying it.. People come from all backgrounds and sometimes spell things differently...
