In Native American Medicinal Plants, anthropologist Daniel E. Moerman describes the medicinal use of more than 2700 plants by 218 Native American tribes. Information -- adapted from the same research used to create the monumental Native American Ethnobotany -- includes 82 categories of medicinal uses, ranging from analgesics, contraceptives, gastrointestinal aids, hypotensive medicines, sedatives, and toothache remedies.
Native American Medicinal Plants includes extensive indexes arranged by tribe, usage, and common name, making it easy to access the wealth of information in the detailed catalog of plants. It is an essential reference for students and professionals in the fields of anthropology, botany, and naturopathy and an engaging read for anyone interested in ethnobotany and natural healing.

I do research on native medicinal plants and advise people on how to cultivate them or manage wild populations. This is one of the "must have" reference books sitting on a shelf in my office. Understanding how native Americans gathered and used these plants has been very helpful to me as I work with these plants. The book is sensibly organized, well written, thorough, and enjoyable to read. If you are an herbalist who uses North American herbs, a researcher studying the medicinal benefits of these herbs, or someone interested in the historical usage of these plants, I suggest you purchase this book.

The books by Daniel E. Moerman are a must have, BUT.....choose wisely. The only reason to buy the Food Plants book is if you want only the food knowledge and not the Medicinal uses or even how the plants were used in other ways (like entertainment). If your interest is medical and not culinary, then get the Medicinal book. For me the best is the original Native American Ethnobotany because it has the edible, the medicinal and other uses of the plants. What is missing in his first book, but is in the Food Plants book are the line drawings of plants. It might be nice to add that in future publications of the Native American Ethnobotany book, but is not enough to go out and duplicate the information already printed in this fine study. Do yourself a favor and choose the complete work to the two later releases.
