NATIVE AMERICAN HERBS Medicinal native plants have been cultivated from the forest and have been introduced for decades to home gardens. The production and usage of such medicinal plants in modern times reflect a safer form of life for the homesteader community, as well as a safe re-supply strategy for the preppers and bug-out enthusiasts. Although these home remedies are never meant to take the place of qualified medical treatment, it's good to know that you're not powerless if you wind up by yourself. Below is a collection of 14 fantastic plants you'll find in the wild. Others can also be picked up at garden centers and attached to your own private garden for medication.
