Welcome
All! This publication details the plants of North America that
are used medicinally. It provides their description, habitat,
medicine and cultural ethnobotany, specifically by American Indian
peoples. The site is divided into specific sections, however,
all the plants are listed in an alphabetical directory by common
name. If you are looking for a remedy to a particular
ailment, please visit us at the American
Folk Remedies site. As always, we hope you find what
you're looking for and thank you for stopping by!
