The information in Medicinal Wild Plants of the Prairie will explain how some of the myths that our great-grandparents passed on regarding health care came to be and is fascinating reading. Some of their ideas were used as the bases of many of our modern medicines and others were just myths. This book is neither an herbal or a medical guide. It is primarily a history of the traditions and beliefs that have surrounded the medicinal use of native prairie plants. While many of these plants do have medicinal value, this book provides only limited information on their medicinal uses. It should not be interpreted as promoting experimental use of these plants. This book contains descriptions not prescriptions. Soft cover, 5½"x 9", 340 pages black and white illustration and maps of the growing areas of the described plants.
