Bringing it Down to Earth
When gathering plants out in the bush for medicine, it is useful to carry some kind of field guide. For the uninitiated, the most comprehensive field guides quickly overwhelm, frequently with "skull and crossbones" designations of toxicity.
Native healer Tis Mal Crow reigns it all in by describing only 22 or so widely available and ubiquitous plants. Without the distancing effect of the western botanist describing "traditional uses", Tis Mal Crow gets down to earth: This is what it is. This is what it looks like. This is what it's for. This is how to use it - with appropriate cautions. Most importantly of all, Tis Mal Crow outlines the spirit and intent with which you must go gathering, to bond with and elicit the cooperative spirit of the plant involved.
Native Plants, Native Healing is engaging. If you only ever work with these 22 plants, you will have learned much.
TN natural plants
I love this book. I dont know much about herbs but this book is very well written and informative. He gives a cure for almost every ailment and shows you how to look at a plant to determine its usage by its shape. My son that I homeschool loves to learn about all the usages of the plants, like cattails being used to make pancakes and clubhouses. I would purchase this book above any other, only because you can't find this information anywhere else. The only request I have of the author is to add more illustratoins of all plants discussed, so the ignorant (such as myself) know what to look for out in the wild.
