My friends over at the In The Bush Facebook Group (Specifically Jason LaBella) put forth this list of ailments with corresponding wild medicinal for it treatment. As many of you may know I have been taking part in their wild edible/medicinal contest over the last few weeks and it has got me thinking about that aspect of my preparedness level in this category. I have for the most part stuck with those wild edibles that I use all the time and a select few wild medicinals that are my go to. While I have started to look into essential oils and will likely have a few post on them as alternative medicine I will focus my efforts this spring and summer on wild medicinals and edibles aside from my normal type of posts.

Conclusions:
Wild Edibles and medicinals are an essential part of anyone's survival plan (or should be) if they pln to be off the grid for any significant period of time. The knowledge of plants can not only provide you nutrition but can also bring you back from the brink of death in some instances. Medicinls have been trusted for thousands of years and its time we reclaim that knowledge and decrease our dependence on the pharmacy!

Is this list in English
ReplyDeleteYes, just not North America specific plants. Those which appear not to be in English are not native to North America. Working on one that is specific to the US. Also there are a ton of medicinals not on here that I personally use so not a full list by any means.
DeleteInteresting list, thank you.
