Featured Plant Medicine Sections
Currently, global health care is in crisis, the natural environment is undergoing widespread devastation, and indigenous people and their knowledge are disappearing at a rapid rate.

PRODUCTS WE LIKE
We are often asked which products we like. For your convenience, we have listed some of the products we know and like, from brands we trust.
Sacred Plants
In the world of plants, some are used for sacred and ceremonial purposes, to explore the spirit world. The use of these plants derives from native cultures, whose members have traditionally sought access to the supra-normal through the ingestion of the plants and their preparations.
Hot Plants
Natural aphrodisiacs can revitalize sexual performance and pleasure, promote sex drive and endurance, and enhance sex life and satisfaction for both men and women. They're safe, have no side effects, and they work. As a noted expert, Chris is often quoted on the subject.
Adaptogens
An adaptogen is a botanical that greatly improves your body's ability to adapt to stress, whether it's a hectic schedule, heat or cold, noise, high altitudes or any number of other stressors. This elite class of herbs impart strength, energy, stamina, endurance, and improve mental clarity.
Cocao!
We love Cocoa! After water, cocoa is the single healthiest substance you can put in your mouth. Did you know that Cocoa is a Medicinal Plant, a Sacred plant, a Hot Plant, and a Psychoactive Plant?
Natural Pain Relief
Got Pain? You can relieve pain and do so naturally and safely. Natural, plant-based remedies are the most widely employed medicines on earth, more than over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
Featured Plants
Some plants simply loom larger than others, and do more for more people. In this section we identify plants that are of especially high health value, and give you more information on those plants and their uses.
Yoga, Shamanism & The Five Tibetans
Chris Kilham’s unique voice is a result of forty-one years of daily yoga practice, eighteen years of working with the shamans of South America, and regular daily practice of The Five Tibetans. The lines between yoga and shamanism are blurry at best. Any deep involvement with yoga also includes the knowledge and use of medicinal plants. Just as yoga travels, so does the use of beneficial plants from all around the globe, including the Amazon.
Shamanism
The shamans shown here on this web site are and have been part of my own journey of discovery.
Yoga & Meditation
Chris has been a long-time speaker and presenter on yoga and meditation, at venues across the USA.
The Five Tibetans
Visit our book page for information about the new edition of Chris’ popular yoga classic. Namaste.
