American Medicinal Leaves and Herbs Alice Henkel

"American Medicinal Leaves and Herbs" is a USDA bulletin dating to the dawn of the 20th century, listing a large number of medically active species living in the North American region, their then-modern value per pound, and their usage and habitat, in brief. While the use of such herbs today is not part of mainstream medicine, herbal healing continues in the less developed portions of the world, and among homeopaths and fans of natural medicine. The entire work is properly illustrated for the identification of plant species.
