My great grandfather was born in 1845 and he was healer. He used all the plants to treat different illnesses. Much of it was passed down to his daughter my great Aunt and his grandsons. There is so many plants bark roots that I was shown I forgot. Recently I decided to go back to learning the ones I forgot and more. And their medicinal purposes. White willow bark was used for pain relief. I remember a tea made from lady slipper was a nerve tonic. My uncle showed me a bush called prickly ash. There was a drummer we met that had no insurance and had a bad abscess tooth. My uncle took me down the ridge and he cut limbs off the bush. We went back and he cut off the outside bark and mailed it to the man. He told him to chew it. He wrote back and said it was the best he had tried. Passion Flower or the May Pop was also used to treat epilepsy. It was fun to go down in the mountains and dig the black Cohosh, blood root, golden seal. Grandpa used the bark of the slippery elm to help digestive problems and it would relieve both constipation and sooth diarrhea both. He'd use the golden seal for urinary problems. My Dad said he remembered having bad ear aches in the winter because they were very poor and they only had one of those pot belly coal burning stoves. Grandpa would put a stone on the stove and get it hot. He'd wrap the stone in a cloth. And my Dad would lay his ear against it. And grandpa would light his little pipe and blow the smoke into his ear to sooth it. It worked for him I believe because of the love and compassion he had and the smoke and his breath stopped the pain. Today I found a large patch of white Star anise. It has many uses and some plants were used in a magical way. Like the Star anise. The land itself is one big pharmacy. I feel that there may come a time that we will no longer have the modern medicine and this will have to once again become the way. I want to learn much more and my cousin Leonard can identify all of them. And I have ask him to take me down in the mountain and show me all the ones I forgot and more. The thing is Daddy taught us to never take all of what you find. The purpose was to leave certain ones so the patch could thrive and come back the next year and spread. I remember him sometimes taking the berries of plants and digging a small hole and planting them so they will grow The lady slipper is beautiful and so many people have went and dug them up and put them into their flower gardens. So much so that it is now illegal to dig it because it is an endangered plant. That greed has caused a very important plant used for good medicine is now denied to those that respected the life and future of the plant to survive. I remember digging the wild cucumber and eating them. The Indian turnip. My father always said with the wild turnip to peel away the outside. My mom's Dad in the Fall would eat 13 poke berries but always said do not eat anymore of them because they were poison. But that small amount was a strong blood purifier. And each plant has several illnesses that they can treat instead of the ones I mentioned.

I have such respect for the native Americans.

I'm a Taíno aborigine and my ancestors ate flower's, leaves, bugs and pretty much everything out in nature. They avoided the berries, flowers and leaves that were ignored by animals. They smoked dried leaves like sage to keep bugs off of them and to take honey from bee hives without being stung.

I love this teaching of different herbs and plants and such for the healing of your body,this sometimes is better for the body,this is good to know,when you can't go to the Doctor,God made a way for you to heal yourself or others,thank you so much,let the land that God has given us heal your bodies.

Your enthusiasm is infectious.

Wild Lettuce didn't make the list? That's like, one of the best pain killers and the Natives used it for killing pain and for food.

My uncle was a herb flower guru I was too young to understand ...He was a healty healty man .always healing family members ..This video reminded me if him ..50 years ago .

This is why I like internet....use it to your advantage ....beautiful thank you

I love all plants, but especially medicinal ones. The Native Americans thought God gave us illnesses with one hand and herbs to cure them with another. A little note: Lavender plants came to America with the first settlers from Europe. I am sure, they started using it, but it is not a traditional Native American plant. As well as the Valerian plant. Both originate from Euroasia.

I’m Native American and I also use a lot of these already, happy I naturally stood to my teaching !

I'm Native and I'm already using a few of these. Love it!! Thank you so much

I’m learning, thank you.

Thank you God bless great video

I'm surprised dandelions were not on the list, and stinging nettles.

Dandylion leaves, flowers and roots are good for the kidneys and liver, you can make coffee out of the roots,and dandylion wine out of the flowers.

Amazing thanks for sharing this video keep up the good work❤
