Whether you live in a mountain cabin or a city loft, plant spirits present themselves to us everywhere. Since its first edition in 1995, Plant Spirit Medicine has passed among countless audiences drawn to indigenous spirituality and all things alive and green. In this updated edition, Eliot Cowan invites us to discover the healing power of plants - not merely their physical medicinal properties, but the deeper wisdom and gifts that they offer.

Enriched by many new insights, this guide unfolds as a series of chapters on how plant spirit medicine helped Cowan resolve specific challenges in his own healing journey and in his work with others. In the telling, we learn how plant spirits can directly communicate with and aid all of us, including:

  • Plant spirit medicine's five-element view of healing
  • Ways to assess our own states of health and balance
  • Receiving guidance from plants, including those found within herbal preparations
  • New passages on community and sacred plants such as peyote, marijuana, and tobacco
  • Additional interviews with plant shamans across diverse traditions, and more

A book about nature's healing powers. Tip: it is greater than ever imagined! You will not look at nature the same way ever again. This book made me cry in grief like I betrayed someone and I just remembered how important it was for me.
The book was easy to listen to and I went through quickly as I was fascinated by it, but I plan to reread/listen as it poses questions I need to ponder about.

If you love nature read this

Love the content. Not to be unkind, but I wasn't sure I could finish it due to the narrator's "forced" cadence and pronounciation. The content motivated me to finish. Would read again....in print format.

superb content; distracting narrator cadence

if you are looking for herbalist lore, forget this book. No healing formulas or prescriptions here at all. But if you are looking to connect with the plant world at a deeper, more spiritual level, and to allow that connection to help you heal yourself and others, this is a great starting point.

Not particularly fond of the narrator's deadpan delivery, but it did not detract from the essential quality of the book.

Great content and great author attitude

I was interested and inspired by this man’s journey. I feel this type of healing is more valid than pouring poisons into people. It uplifts the healer and the person who is healed and all of life is improved.

Beyond the Surface of Things

I absolutely loved that the knowledge was shared to an extent and was so relatable. I would recommend and read this book a thousand times over.

The in depth knowledge that was shared.

I drank this book in so quickly that it’s still sinking in. It spoke to the deepest part of me, the part of me that knows all living things have spirits.

Thought Provoking and Imaginative
