GREG SARRIS WROTE IN "WEAVING A DREAM" THAT IN THE LATE 1800'S THE SHAMANS USED TO EXPEL EVILS FROM PEOPLE BY SUCKING OUT WORMS FROM WITHIN PEOPLE'S STOMACHS. A VERY INTERESTING TYPE OF HEALING IN OLD TIMES. IT WAS SAID THAT THE SHAMANS WERE CAPABLE OF HEALING MOST ANY SICKNESS. IF SOMEONE HAD AN ILLNESS THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAL, THEY CARRIED THE PERSON TO THE HEALING SPRINGS OF CALISTOGA WHERE THEY WERE BATHED. THIS USUALLY TOOK CARE OF THEIR ILLNESS.
MANY OF THE OLDER WOMEN WORKED AS SHAMANS AND THEY KNEW HOW TO USE ANGELICA AND LOMATIUM ROOTS FOR HEALING OTHERS OF COLDS, FLUS, AND SNAKE BITES.
ALMOST EVERY SHAMAN KNEW HOW TO USE THE THOUSANDS OF PLANTS FOR FOOD, CLOTHING AND MEDICINES.
