Tieraona was named by Time magazine as an “Innovator in Alternative Medicine for 2001” and was the recipient of the Martinade la Cruz Medal in 1998 for her work with indigenous people. But this is only the beginning of her list of accomplishments; Tieraona is an impassioned advocate for herbs, health, and integrative medicine and is a powerful and visionary teacher who inspires all that hear her.
