Description



Book Synopsis



This illuminating reference book is a complete guide to medicinal plants used by hundreds of Native American tribes.

Let anthropologist Daniel E. Moerman be your guide as he describes the various uses of more than 2,700 plants. Information--adapted from the same research used to create the monumental Native American Ethnobotany--includes 82 categories of medicinal uses, ranging from analgesics, contraceptives, gastrointestinal aids, hypotensive medicines, sedatives, and toothache remedies.

Native American Medicinal Plants includes extensive indexes arranged by tribe, usage, and common name, making it easy to access the wealth of information. It is an essential reference for students and professionals in the fields of anthropology, botany, and naturopathy--and an engaging read for anyone interested in ethnobotany and natural healing.



Review Quotes




"Easily the most extensive and authoritative source of ethnobotanical information on native medicinal plant usage, this volume goes far beyond any other reference source on native medicinal plants." --Choice

"This engaging read covers 82 categories of medicinal uses [and] is an easy-to-use reference perfect for the home library." --Houston Lifestyles and Homes

"A beautiful tome I can in my leisure over the years turn to in order to expand my knowledge of the plants that cross my path. To be able to add to my knowledge of plants how they might have been used for thousands and thousands of years. . . . adds dignity and depth to the plant, to the culture that lived here before I, and to my own learning. This reference book is highly recommended!" --Plant Whatever Brings You Joy
