5 Native American Healing Plants

Indigenous to the Southeastern United States, the Cherokee tribe of Native Americans believed that they were given a rare affinity for understanding (as well as preserving) traditional medicinal herbs and plants.

While these plants were used in the treatment of practically every ailment or illness, they are inherently strong and can be dangerous when used in excess or improperly.

Cherokee healers, with traditions that have been passed down over hundreds of years, believe these five plants give us incredible health benefits:

1.  Blackberry
The blackberry is largely used by the Cherokee to treat upset stomachs, even though it’s also used for many other things. Benefits of blackberry include: improved digestion, a boosted immune system, a healthy heart, cancer prevention and relief from endothelial dysfunction.
Blackberries hold high nutritional value, as they are chock-full of vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and folate. Not to mention they’re a good source of fiber and amino acids.

Very common plant in most parts of the World.

 2.  Hummingbird Blossom (Buck Brush)
Used in the treatment of cysts, fibroid tumors, inflammation and mouth/throat problems, Hummingbird blossom is an herb that has been used by Cherokee for generations.
Contemporary research has also found that it is beneficial for helping treat high blood pressure and lymphatic blockages. However, it is mainly used for its diuretic properties to help with kidney function.

3.  Cattail
Used as mainly a preventative measure, cattail is an easily digestible food that is believed to help with recovery from illness. Its root consists mainly of starch, and the male plants have a high pollen count, meaning that the plant is often prepared in a similar style to that of potatoes, being boiled and mashed.
The paste from these processes is often used to treat burns and sores, and the pollen is a great source of protein and has a use in baking.

Wonderful plant that can be found around most fresh water ponds, lakes and rivers.

4.  Mint
While you’ve almost definitely tried mint at some point in your life, you may not know it’s health properties. A natural antioxidant, mint also contains magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, as well as a healthy dose of fiber.
It aids in digestion, and its stems and leaves have been used in teas to help lower high blood pressure.

Mint found in Nature is a wonderful blessing.

5.  Mullein
Mullein is a powerful herb that is often used to relieve asthma and chest congestion. The Cherokee believed that inhaling smoke from the burning of mullein roots and leaves did wonders for calming the lungs and opening up airways.
You can also mix into a warm solution and soak your feet in it to help reduce inflammation and joint pain. And mixing it into a tea provides a mild sedative effect.
This is a very versatile plant and is commonly called the "Hikers Friend" you can use the leaves that are fairly thick as moleskin if you develop blisters, and also as emergency "Toilet Paper".

Fairly thick leaves with a velvet feel, may also have a large stem with blossoms at the center of the plant.

New Planet Forming

In the beginning, vast amounts of energy from the eternities came together to form our World out of Hydrogen...the building blocks of the Universe.  Hydrogen can NOT be manufactured or made, it is simply a by-product from the birth of Stars.  

The Eye of God

Science will confirm that Our Planet is a Water-based Planet...the H in H20 is the primary building block or element that our World is formed from.  



Our Planet was NOT an accidental explosion of dark matter that somehow, someway became our World.  It was formed by Our Creator and all things within as well.  The hypothesis of the Scientific minded have run out of theories as to "How" it happened.  Every theory is simply that, and has NO proof or ability to stand alone as Fact of Creation.

Life-Giving Waters has a whole new meaning when you consider the Words of the Great White God.
"I AM the Life-Giving Waters".  If ALL things created are water-based, then logic will dictate that We had best learn about ourselves in a literal sense.



Our Bodies are primarily made up of Water, and our Brain is 90% Water.  When we are deprived of  water and begin to become dehydrated, Mental Clarity diminishes, we become Confused and even Disoriented.  Unless we re-hydrate appropriately we will eventually loose consciousness and fall into a coma to eventually die as our bodies shut down.

There has been a power UN-tapped and Ignored by the World except by those that are close to our Earth Mother and understand the True Nature of things.  The Creative Energy that went into forming our World is in ALL Things Living!

When we suffer from illness or disease it is usually a result of our own actions or the environment in which we live as a society.  We rarely replenish our bodies with what it needs and have become reliant upon pills and vitamins to give us what we need. Has the Life-Giving Waters, The Elixir of Life been taken out of those plants that the pills are formed from?
