An encyclopedia of North American medicinal plants, this classic
herbalist's guide goes inside Native American herbalism and other
natural healing traditions around the world
For more than twenty years, this pioneering work had served as a bible
for herbalists throughout the world. It is an illustrated encyclopedic
guide to more than two hundred medicinal plants found in North America,
with descriptions of each plant's appearance and uses, and directions
for methods of use and dosage.
Native American traditions are compared with traditional uses of the
same plants among other cultures where the science of herbs has
flourished, particularly in Russia and China. Included is an annotated
bibliography of pertinent books and periodicals.
