Healing with Native American Medicine and Traditions (feat. Asha Frost)
Native Americans have lived in North America for over 13,000 years. Today there are over 500 tribes that celebrate their heritage.
Their culture is rich in tradition and spiritual beliefs. For instance, traditional healing treatments such as herbal remedies, allopathic medications, smudging and several others are an integral part of promoting health within the Native American communities.
To tell us more about it, I invited Asha Frost.
Asha Frost, is an Anishinaabe (Ojibway) medicine woman, healer and spiritual mentor. She facilitates healing in her practice, through the use of shamanic healing, homeopathy and indigenous-based ceremony. As a soul Seer and visionary, Asha believes that we can all reclaim our roots and deepest medicines.
In this interview, Asha talks about Native American healing methods and how they can help us cure various issues. She also offers insight into other aspects of Native American cultures such as animal spirit guides and ancestor worship.
