Tinanom Åmot Siha: Plants Used in Traditional CHamoru Healing

Tinanom Åmot Siha: Plants Used in Traditional CHamoru Healing profiles over 70 plants that traditional healer, or yo'åmte, Lourdes Toves Manglona ("Mama Lou") uses in her healing practice. She learned about these plants from her grandmother, a yo'åmte who passed her knowledge on to Mama Lou to keep the tradition alive. 

With detailed photography, simple plant descriptions, and space for notes, Tinanom Åmot Siha is the perfect companion for the curious learner seeking to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the many trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, and more that grow throughout the jungles and backyards of the Mariana Islands, and that have the power to heal.
