What's a good resource on medicinal plants?
    #5611542 - 05/10/06 04:16 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I need a good survivalist book on medicinal plants so that when the world government collapses I will know how not to die from things like diarrhea and fevers.

Preferably the book would actually go into detail about how to prepare the herbs, and what the active ingredients are.

any book by tom brown is awesome. In the book I have, he gives each plant a 'personality' so that if you can understand that, you will know what the plant can be used for.

Talk to old people or take some classes. Tom Browns books are good but nothing great. If you really want to spend the loot on a good book buy a pharmacopia book from the 1800's.

There are butloads of books out on the subject. There are tones of educated people on the subject. I just picked one up on native american herbal medicine.

Wild Violet i think is a diuretic
Mullen is good for caughes.
Sumac berries good for Vitamin C
Plaintain is good for infections.
Yarrow is good for all sorts of things
Black walnut is good for internal parasites
Manzenita is good for something
Sulfure is good for fungal infections
Blood root is good for pollyps

it goes on and on i been interested in the subject since i was 18 and started thinking about pot being a medecine when used right. Since then i been sponging it up. Talking to elders and more nature minded people.

It isnt very extensive at all,but cheap and easily found.The peterson field guide to medicinal plants and herbs.It doesnt go into deep discussion about the pharmacology of medinal plants but it does tell the folk and indian uses.

Also allot of Wiccan Herbalist books are good.

The master book of Herbalism by paul Beyerl is a good one.But i dont know much about wiccan herbalist books.

Another good book is The encyclopedia of natural medicine by michael murray N.D. and Joseph pizzorno N.D.
It goes by diseases,illness and symptoms.Not by the plants.

Yeah, but tom brown tells you how to make toothpaste out of certain plants, and how to grind down certain seeds and plants into flour for bread. You can even steal some bird eggs and eat wildman eggs and biscuits. Hope that never happens to me, but tom brown helped me out in case it does cause I can make a dope ass shack out of pretty much anything.

I read somewhere that acorn flour and cattail pollen makes good flapjacks.

acorn makes a good flour but you have to soak the shelled seeds in water 24 hours with a few changes of water to get out all the tannin. Tannin is bitter and isnt to good for you. Cat tail has tubers that you can eat by boiling, roasting or shredding into a paste.

And just reading something doesn't really make you a surviver. You got to practice now and actually know all the little tricks. Every second counts in survival situations. Trying to remeber and figure it all out before hypothermia or dehydration steps in is real pain in the ass.

Actually, it's for a cult I'm starting, but yeah. I'm gonna teach classes and charge people $75 a month rent for little 300 ft2 pods.

The bathrooms and kitchen will be centralized and will also serve as the storm shelter as it will be the only taditional "building" on the property. Everything else will be made out of alternative building materials like papercrete, straw or cob.

It'll be kind of like a cross between survivalist camp, ITT tech, and a hippie commune. We'll teach metalworking, glassblowing, manufacturing and using alternative fuel s such as biogas from composting and woodgas.

All the individual living units will be powered by 12V power with at least a few units running from power generated on-site. Eventually, I'd like to get the entire site off-grid.

After about a 2 year training course, members will be able to open their own compound somewhere else and start recruiting new members.

It's a franchise!

If you're in the Midwest USA, I'd have to recommend Kelly Kindscher's "Medicinal Wild Plants of the Prairie." It's an excellent source text with lots of ethnographic information. Also, Kelly himself has used the majority of the plants and interjects with his own personal commentary. A large number of the plants have hand drawn pictures and range maps. He also published a companion book called "Edible Wild Plants of the Prarie"
