Unleash the healing power of wild plants

Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants combines two trends: foraging and natural medicine. This comprehensive guide is accessible to everyone, from beginners seeking reliable advice to experienced practitioners on the hunt for new information. Readers will find plant profiles, color photographs, step-by-step instruction for essential herbal remedies, and seasonal foraging tips. This indispensable guide to finding, harvesting, and using wild plants is for readers in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, northern California, and British Columbia.

Book Features:

A hugely popular topic: The combination of foraging and medicinal plants is a powerful one. Foraging remains a popular trend among nature lovers and foodies, and the popularity of medicinal herbs and natural medicine continues to grow. Herbal medicine is a regular topic in popular media outlets like Goop and Refinery29 and the subject of bestselling books from Rosemary Gladstar and JJ Pursell.
Package beats the competition: Our book features 120 plants, hundreds of colour photographs, and step-by-step instruction for essential herbal remedies. The closest comps have half the plants, fewer photos, and no information about how to use the plant.
Expert authorship: Scott Kloos is the founder and managing director of The School of Forest Medicine, the owner of Cascadia Folk Medicine, and a founder of the Elderberry School of Botanical Medicine.
