How to Use This Guide
Though the wild medicinal herbs listed in this book are easily identifiable, it is always essential to have a local wildcrafter or botanist show you in person which herbs are which. Medicinal herbs should never be picked unless you are 100% sure of the species. Usually once you have harvested a wild plant in person, you won’t forget.
The herbs described below have many beneficial effects but checking with your healthcare practitioner before taking any herbs or wild plants is extremely important. There are some herbs, such as Saint John's Wort, that can be dangerous when mixed with certain pharmaceuticals. And there are poisonous plants out there. White Berry Bane, which has cardiogenic properties, can actually cause cardiac arrest if many of its berries are eaten.
Of course, when eating wild plants our sense of taste, smell and even sight can often warn us of danger. Plants that are too high in tannins for human consumption (such as wild, uncooked acorns) will cause so much discomfort when first tasted that it’s almost impossible not to spit them out. Many toxic plants actually look toxic, like the Berry Bane berries mentioned above which resemble alien eyeballs. Bright red and white colors will often be a signal to you that a plant is poisonous, but not always. Because of the inherent danger of ingesting some herbs, it is smart to be careful and safe. The best way to be sure about the exact identification of an herb is to have a local professional show you.
To get the most out of the information in this book, start by foraging the herbs you already know by sight; most people already know what a red clover looks like, for instance. Read the corresponding chapter in this book to learn about its medicinal properties, uses and how to harvest it. Remember to check with your healthcare practitioner before trying out the methods utilizing your foraged herbs. Find other people in your area who are interested in foraging; herbalists, naturalists, botanists and forestry experts are often your best bets for accurate wild herb
