The majority of the population still relies exclusively on medicinal plants for self-medication.

Traditional healing, science sought by aboriginal people | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

For Ellen White, health care means treating the spirit as well as the body. The Snuneymuxw elder studied medicine along the rocky shores of Kuper Island, where her grandmother taught her how to listen to the plants, rocks and ocean. White learned how to "beg and plead" for nature's energy to reach her and how to connect with the natural world.

Ken Wilber talks about Ayahuasca - Part 1 of 2. 

CEO of Enlightenment.Com's comment December 15, 2011 6:39 PM
When I interviewed Ken for our Speaking of Everything audio set, he pretty much said the same thing about entheogens, that is, don't *only* do substances, but have a meditation practice and a grounded spiritual practice as well. I'm glad to see Ken is doing well. His work is profoundly important, and has benefited millions.
