Healing Secrets of the Native Americans (Herbs, Remedies, and Practices That Restore the Body, Mind, and Spirit) by Porter Shimer

The actual list of herbs is short but pretty good in regard to the uses and preparations. What is interesting is the authors attempt to explain the background of the medicinal use as cultural aspects. The section on ways to prepare the herbs for use is very good.
