Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West

Description

Michael Moore, renowned herbalist, teacher, and author of several medicinal plant books, presents a one-of-a-kind guide to over three hundred species of plants geographically ranging from Baja California to Alaska. This uniquely attractive book educates the reader to both native and introduced species within this region. With over eighty line drawings, forty-four color photographs, maps, and a glossary, this book contains clear and reliable information on identification and safe use of the plants; appearance, habitats, collecting methods, and storage; therapeutic uses, constituents, and preparations; potential toxicities and medical contraindications; and tea-making, tincturing, and salve making.**NOTE: In the original book, the last color plate featuring 'Yerba del Lobo' and 'Yerba Santa'are labeled incorrectly. I have corrected this error so now the label corresponds correctly to the pictured plant.**
