Medicinal Edible Plants Traditional Plant Uses And Scientific Plant Studies Plant Field Guide Hal Raymond Larry Raymond by Hal Raymond & Larry Raymond B00DDXLI02 instant download after payment.

This book is not like any other book on plants. Many plant books that you read will discuss only the traditional uses of plants by native people, or merely the identification of plants. I have chosen to combine some of the latest scientific research on many of the plants in this book as well as their historical uses. Combining scientific research with historical uses, one can get a good idea about the “real” benefits of plants and not merely the psychological effects.
I have chosen to pick many plants that may help in cases of emergencies in different situations whether that may be a lost hunter or hiker, and can quickly be identified by looking at a picture. After 9/11, the nation was urged to prepare a 72 hour pack for each person in their family. This guide is meant for that pack. This guide should accompany any person that goes into the back country. This guide lists many plants that can be used for food. If it so happens that you must stay more than 72 hours in the wilderness, this guide will help you take care of those bare essentials necessary to survive. It explains plant foods, medicines, fiber, and shelter. It describes methods, such as making cattail duck decoys, for use in obtaining meat; what plants were used to make poison darts for obtaining food…and much, much, more!
Besides the survival information, other pieces of information are included. There are several recipes in the book for making jam or jelly. Information is also provided about how to tap trees. I have also provided some of the latest research on many of the plants, complete with references.
I hold special interest in a plant in this book. I held a patent on the plant. Scientific studies showed that it fights herpes viruses. I tell you in the book what plant it is and how to prepare a cold sore medicine as well as other herpes medicines.
The end of the book contains a quick-glance glossary of medical conditions and which plants help those conditions as described in the book.
There are 321 graphic, full color pictures of plants and other descriptions in this book. The author has a bachelors degree in biology and a masters degree in Agriculture Systems Technology.
