Native Plants, Native Healing - Tis Mal Crow - Bog

Tis Mal Crow began the study of the medicinal use of plants and traditional native root doctoring techniques in his childhood. In this book he generously shares his knowledge and insights on how to gather herbs respectfully, and how to use them to make tinctures, teas, liniments, oils, lotions, and salves for medicinal use. Twenty-two Eastern woodland plants are profiled and identified by their doctrine of signature, which ailments respond to their treatment, and what type of application works best. Tis Mal emphasizes the importance of responsible gathering of wild medicinal plants in order to save them from extinction due to overharvesting.
