    Default Indigenous Medical Botany

    "The plants of Massachusetts have been pretty thoroughly investigated, by able botanists........... Many, if not most, of our plants are the same with those of the climate of the south and southwest."

    This is an old publication listing 319 medicinal plants that can be found in Massachusetts and elsewhere. It's a good list for anyone willing to do a bit or research.

    Nice find. Now if I could just grow my own Ambien plant.
    Ken has helped me out so much with legal stuff, I need to keep track of it so I can pay him back. I will be placing a 'score card' in my sig as a reminder.

    Good info Ken. Gonna take a while to read it all, but I saved it for later.
