Medicinal Plants: Research, Resources, FAQs, Regional plant checklists

Plant Constituents Taken from a variety of sources, these are the known constituents for over 250 plant medicines Research Abstracts Abstracts from the last 10 years on 148 different genus of medicinal plants, and links to further information.

Distribution Maps 294 distribution maps of medicinal plants found in the western United States. Western State Flora Checklists. These are Acrobat and text files of checklists of some of the western states, with special emphasis on changes in taxonomic nomenclature important to field herbalists. Finished states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Bioregional Herb Resources: former students and friends that sell ethically wildcrafted or organically grown bulk herbs and tinctures, that are in practice, or that, in turn, have their OWN schools. We MUST avoid centralization of the herb industry...these are herbalists and sources of materials of use for the hundreds of regional herbalists and small manufacturers of botanical products around the United States...as well those that prefer LOCAL herbs.
