Native American Medicinal Plants: An Ethnobotanical Dictionary

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.
