Tis Mal Crow (Cherokee/Hitchiti) had worked with tribal elders since childhood studying the medicinal uses of plants and traditional Native root-doctoring techniques. The information shared in this book was passed down to him by elders as it had been passed down to them and their ancestors for thousands of years.

Readers will find practical knowledge about Eastern woodland plants. The author shares his insights and experiences on the best ways to respectfully harvest and shows how to make tinctures, liniments, lotions, teas, oils, and salves. Attention is also given to the problem of over harvesting popular plants.
