Are harsh artificial medicines stripping your body of its vitality? In the western world today, more people are now addicted to "medicines" than ever before - and suffering harmful effects from these very drugs that were meant to help them. In fact, we're being encouraged to use artificial chemicals to treat almost everything... (Even our children are being medicated just for being energetic) But it wasn't always this way... Long before Europeans arrived in America, generations of Native American's learned the secrets of natural healing. Rather than focussing on treating a single disease, they used a holistic approach to maintain good health and create explosive levels of energy and vitality rarely seen today. And by using plants found in the local environment, they not only avoided the risks associated with artificial compounds, but were able to leverage the power of plants which evolved alongside our own physiology for millions of years. But these secrets were only passed down through the spoken word from one generation to the next. Making them completely inaccessible to the outsider. That is, until now... Today, herbalist Tamaya has transcribed these ancient teachings to help you unlock the benefits of 1,000s of years of health wisdom, with traditional illustrations to make following along easy. She has created the most powerful entry to learning Native American herbalism, including both her trusted encyclopedia and dispensary in one comprehensive bundle.
