In Earth Medicines, Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz (Tewa/Xicana) weaves together stories of her own indigenous wisdom with the power of the four elements to achieve inner and outer harmony. Including recipes and rituals that highlight the power of Water, Air, Earth, and Fire, this book is a reminder that the natural elements are the origins of everything - and can heal our body, mind, and spirit.
In chapters organized by each element, readers will first find recipes and advice for:
- Promoting inner harmony through Hydrotherapy for Headache Relief, Mayan Tea to Calm the Mind, or Ginger Fire Honey Chews
- Nurturing beauty inside and out with Tepezcohuite Honey Mask, Salt of the Earth Deodorant, or Sweetwater Herbal Mouth Rinse
- Taking care of the spirit by creating an ancestral altar, making loose incense, or performing a Mayan Bajo Steaming Ritual
Felicia thinks of earth medicine as a way of engaging with Mother Earth every day, having a deepened relationship with the four elements and incorporating them into our daily lives. This modern guide to working with earth medicines is designed to support you on your path of wellness with lifestyle practices collected by Felicia in her twenty-five years of working with complimentary modalities.
