Native American Medicinal Plants: An Ethnobotanical Dictionary

Amazing reference book. If you want to learn about plants and their utilization in Native American cultures this is the book to use. It shows the geographical range of each tribe, references a large array of plants and their differing uses by each tribe. Every source is cited as well so if you’re like me and enjoy going down the rabbit hole this will keep you interested for days. Some of the cited sources take you to more current research on some of the plants and their medicinal uses so that’s a plus as well. The author has organized everything extremely well. I love this book.

This is a very thorough desk reference. It is made easy to use with varied different indexes. With so many sources from a variety of eras gives the information real depth and a special insight to western medicine.
