Most of us have put together an emergency supply of the medications we would need to survive off grid. But, when those run out, we need to be able to turn to Mother Nature for all her herbal medicine resources.
We have collected several amazing resources that help identify the proper plants and processes needed to take advantage of the things we find around us that can support our mental and physical health over the long term.
Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine – 550 Herbs and Remedies for Common Ailments This amazing book provides information about how to identify, prepare and use hundreds of natural plants to treat various health issues. It is our go to resource for herbal medicine.
Pocket Guide to Herbal Medicine This guide provides information about how herbal treatments can be used for different ailments, and to promote overall health. We absolutely love this guide.
World Health Organization – Traditional Herbal Remedies for Primary Health Care This guide provides information about which herbs to use to treat everyday ailments. Due to this being a world-wide resource, not all of the plants mentioned in the book are available in North America. But it provides pictures of the herbs, tells you what regions the plants grow in and provides “recipes” to help prepare the different herbs for administration.
PDR of Herbal Medicine Probably the most definitive book on the pharmacology of herbal agents on the planet. This download link is provided by The Natural Ingredient Resource Center, and their site is a GREAT place to find more ONLINE information about Herbal treatments and processes.
As we find more herbal medicine resources that can be converted to off grid usage, we will update this list.
