List Of Common Ailments With Corresponding Wild Medicinal

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.

Be sure to checkout other Wild Edible Posts: Queen Ann's Lace (LINK);  How to determine if a Plant is Edible (LINK), How to Make Pine Needle Tea (LINK); Winter Wild Edible Collection (LINK); Seven Eastern Woodland Trees Essential to Survival (LINK); Red Clover (LINK);

So a few things before you dig into this list- 1) This list is not North America specific; 2) This is not  comprehensive list it is more of a starting point for your research; 3) Always ensure you have a proper identification; 4) everyone's body is different and reacts differently so what works for me may not work for you; 5) Get a few go to edible/medicinal references and use them regularly
