Alaska's Wilderness Medicines: Healthful Plants of the Far North

This book is definitely going to hold a place of honor on my bookshelf! I have always been interested in holistic/naturopathic remedies and this reference is excellent in identifying and describing native natural remedies in Alaska. While I have several North American medicinal plant and herb references, the climate in AK really does have an impact on the appearance and uses of many plants. Additionally, there are some plants growing there that, to the best of my knowledge, either don't grow anywhere else or aren't used medicinally anywhere else. Having native information about the plants and their uses is invaluable!

A fantastic informational book about the madicinal plants that this state has to offer. Learn a lot about the wild plants and their uses or ones that you should stay away from. Would recommend this book and the seller from whom I purchased it from, booksurf11. Paula

Divided by plant - includes a line drawing (full page), plant description, distribution, constituents, medicinal, culinary and other uses. Many of the medicinal uses are taken from the traditions of the Alaskan Natives and work very well... I have personally used my copy of this book for many years with great results

Everyone in the part of AK that I live in part of the year harvests their necessities. This is one of them.
