These plants are considered by some to be the best medicinal plants for Woodsmen to know. Many reasons exist for this designation, however, the main reason is they are the most common (usually). Many can be found in the lawn of many homes throughout the country. All are usually considered "weeds" by many people who are not aware of the benefits of these plants. My hope is to cover each of these plants in the future to provide a resource for utilizing this important resource available to everyone. Each post will include photos as well as uses for each plant. It is important to stress that the reader should do extensive research from many sources before utilizing any plant in a medicinal capacity. Never rely on only one source for information as it may be outdated, or incorrect. I can not be responsible for misuse, adverse reactions or misidentification. Please be absolutely positive of plant identification prior to use of any part of the plant.
