[QUOTE="OKIE LADY, post: 2127986, member: 28040"] dennishoddy, I know what you mean about not believing THEN believing. Using plants and herbs makes sense; the Native Americans are a great example of that. I'm sure they went through a lot of trial and error through the hundreds of years discovering what's what though. Just for interest, I've listed a few of the plants they used: American Elderberry: Astringent, diuretic, laxative. Inner bark used in pain killer; crushed leaves act as insect repellant. Burdock: Chippewa used the plant in medicines for coughs Cattail: The roots can be dried and ground into a flour. The sticky sap used to thicken soups. The pollen is hemostatic and astringent. Place directly on a cut to control bleeding. Drink root flour in cup of warm water or eat young flowerheads to bind diarrhea and dysentery. Goldenrod: Leaves and flowers are made into a tea for intestinal and urinary disorders. Ground Pine: Used as a medicine for stiff joints Jewelweed: Chippewa made a medicine from the plant for sore mouths. Nettle: Root and boiled leaf decoctions used to soothe symptoms of rheumatism; a Nettle tea helped clear lungs. White Willow: Bark and leaves are rich in a chemical similar to aspirin (Salicylic Acid). WARNING: These plants are not necessarily endorsed, guaranteed, or authorized for the uses described. Many plants are okay in smaller doses but toxic in large quantities, or even poisonous without correct preparation. Native Americans of different tribes have various ways of procurement. Native Americans also believe if a plant is not honored properly with prayers, the medicine won't be effective. ALWAYS do research, and research again before using plants as a source of medication or food. **Any other remarks, pro or con, regarding the above plants, or others are welcome. All info is important to share. For most Americans, trying to trust in a homemade concoction is, to say the least, scary; especially if it to be ingested. To be honest, I have to do a TON of research before I take internally. BUT, in days ahead if things REALLY get to the "Hunger Game" stage, I think we'll ALL be praying for info and willing to do anything! [/QUOTE]
