NATIVE AMERICAN MEDICINAL HERBS
Included on this page are resources that I have found very useful. I am open to input for more books, websites, etc. Because some of these resources are difficult to find, I am posting some actual documents.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an certified herbalist. All publications either listed or provided are used at your discretion. Keep in mind that many of the early medicinal uses of plants have been disproved as to their effectiveness or, because of the inherent danger of the plant itself, are not recommended for use by those without extensive medical background.
