NATIVE AMERICAN HERBALIST’S BIBLE [12 Books in 1]: The Most Comprehensive Guide To Herbal Remedies. Discover How To Create Your Apothecary With Ancient Dispensatory Recipes And Improve Your Wellness.

I should have known.The positive reviews look great at-first-glance, but read them thoroughly.. Same exact phrases used over and over, and weird names that look like anagrams of each other.There were so many “Native American Herbalist Bible(s)” listed on Amazon, I couldn’t tell which was worthwhile.Now I know why; these pieces of garbage are being cranked out by some Chinese factory somewhere.First, enjoy learning the merits of such mysterious and little-known healing herbs as “rosemary,” “mint,” “basil,” “dill,” and “parsley”!Various tea, bath-soak, and tincture versions of these herbs appear so many times, they make-up half the stupid book. They even teach you how to make ICED TEA! Wow!And then…Did you know, Native Americans used Epsom Salts and Baking Soda as “herbal remedies”? Me either! Particularly since Epsom Salts are named after the town in England where they were discovered. I am so glad I bought this book, how else would I have known about these mystical products?!This book is full of herbs that have nothing to do with Native Americans, as a ton of them (like turmeric, Shatavari, torbagun, fenugreek, to name a few) are non-native plants, don’t even grow here and would have to be cultivated after import. Native American herbalism? Try the wellness aisle at Whole Foods.Also weird that the supposed author (who a search-for brings up a stock photo and ONLY links to this sh*tty book) is supposed to be from a Midwestern reservation, but uses the British spelling of tons of words and can’t string a proper sentence together. See my photos for some amazing excerpts.This book is supposedly a guide to botanical remedies, but there is not a photo, drawing, or even physical-description of a single plant.I guess they’ve correctly assumed you’d know how to find “ginger” and “coconut oil” at Whole Foods.Weirdest of all is, I received this book on January 30th, 2022. Its printed copyright is from 3 days prior. “Made in United States”! Lol.Don’t buy this “book.” Just go to Whole Foods.

The reviews said this book was amazing, so I purchased it. The amount of spelling mistakes/grammatical errors is ridiculous that I can’t take the book seriously. I shouldn’t be correcting the sentences as I’m reading, seems fishy to me so I returned it. I feel like a real trustworthy book (especially one dedicated to medicinal healing) shouldn’t be so poorly written.

This book is really great if you are interested in treating yourself the more natural way. The book collection opens by going over the traditional thoughts and intentions behind natural medicine. The author also covers how to go about this safely which is important. We then get into how to forage or grow your own herbs and plants. One thing I appreciated was that several of the books organize information by plant name but some also classify information by disease/ailment being treated. Having multiple ways to find information is helpful and easy. Overall, I learned a lot from this book.

No valuable information. Poorly written

The book goes on about how important it is to identify the various herbs and how many of them have poisonous counter parts that are very similar looking. Stating the obvious about the plants would be so much better if there were color photos included to have positive identification. That would be so much better than relying on a written description that could be close to some other plant.

Bought as a birthday gift for the grandpa-in-law and he seems to love it. Said it’s exactly what he was looking for. Very detailed and informative

We Love it !!

Wow. Aiyana Uitco has put together a ridiculously comprehensive 12 volume collection of all things herbal in the Indigenous/Native American culture(s). The indigenous peoples, known as Native Americans have used herbalism/botanical medicine for the treatment of anything human for at least 40,000 years. I don't think I can even comprehend that. One of the big differences between herbal medicine and Western medicine is the holistic nature of herbalism as well as the balance it seeks.Ms. Uitco is a tremendously gifted writer. She turns what could easily have been a tedious collection of data into a fascinating read. Presenting so much information could have been a nightmare for looking anything up but her indices are very nicely done and thorough. For me, reading these books has allowed me to feel I am a welcome guest in the author's home. Ms. Uitco's passion and love for her heritage can be seen in everything she shares with the reader. I think this set of books will be around for a long time.
