Physical Description Information about appearance, including: flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, etc. Plantains grow in basal rosettes. The leaves, hairless or slightly hairy, all have distinctly parallel veins. A green, central flower stalk extends above the leaves in late spring, summer, or fall. Plantains are terrestrial, growing in an open, sunny meadow, lawns, waste places, and nooks and crannies in concrete. Grows all around the globe.<br />_________________________________________________ Common plantain is an annual or perennial species of lawns, old fields, roadsides and similar disturbed places. It has thick, leathery, oval leaves with smooth margins. The leaves are long-stalked, strongly nerved and grow from a basal rosette. The flowering stalk is up to 18 inches tall, has no leaves, and supports numerous tiny, inconspicuous flowers in a slender spike. The fruits are small, many­ seeded capsules (1/8 inch wide). Common plantain is originally from Europe, and the name "white man's foot" was the given to this species by the tribes of eastern North America because it seemed to appear at every new white settlement. Whether the Ojibwa quickly discovered medicinal uses for these European invading species, or they learned of the uses by trading information with the settlers is unclear. (Plants used by the Great Lakes Ojibwa) ______________________________________________________________________________ There are both native and imported species on Turtle Island. Plantago rugelii (the indigenous one) and Plantago major (the import) look very similar, often grow together, and can be used to treat the same ailments. Both have roundish or egg-shaped leaves, flowers that grow on the flower stalk, leaves that grow out of a rosette shape. First plants to re-appear in spring. (Plants have so much to give us, all we have to do is ask) ______________________________________________________________________________ Uses & Preparation Information pertaining to collection and medicinal, culinary, and ceremonial uses. Internally used for kidney and bladder trouble, intestinal inflammation, excessive menstrual flow, and ulcer relief. Externally used for inflammation and bites and for the treatment of rheumatism. Offers immediate relief for bee stings. Pulls out the venom and works to stop the venom’s effects. Prevents a rash from poison ivy. Relief comes within 15 minutes. Used in mild remedy to treat diarrhea in children. Crushed plantain leaves can also be used to treat those who came into contact with poison ivy and stinging nettles. Can be used to treat stomach ulcers Plantain provides beta-carotene and calcium. All species contain mucilage – a carbohydrate fiber. This fiber reduces both the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, helping to prevent heart disease. An infusion of leaves or mashed seeds treats sore throats, gastritis, diarrhea, bronchitis, fevers, inflammations, kidney and bladder disorders, and cystitis. The root is said to have been used for toothache and snakebite. Safe to eat. A wonderful addition to salads or cooked as a vegetable similar to spinach. Contains lots of essential minerals, calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamins A, C, K, B1, riboflavin, and carotenes with a relatively low amount of oxalic acid.<br />_________________________________________________ It is clear that the Ojibwa used common plantain in a number of ways, including a poultice of chopped fresh leaves for rheumatism, a simple or compound poultice of chopped root or fresh leaves for a variety of dermatological problems and snake bites, bruises, sprains, and sores. In addition the powdered root was carried as a charm to protect one from snake bites. (Plants used by the Great Lakes Ojibwa) ______________________________________________________________________________ If picked in spring, they can be used in spring salad, or in a vegetable soup or stew. A poultice of the leaf, chewed up and applied to an insect bite, relieves the effects of the bite.

Physical Description Information about appearance, including: flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, etc. Balsam fir needles are flat with two white bands on the bottom. They are attached spirally but are twisted to form two rows on one plane. You can see the disks or "balls" where the needles join the twig.<br />_________________________________________________ Balsam fir is an evergreen tree that reaches a height of 40 to 8o feet. It is a slow-growing and short-lived tree found in coniferous and mixed forests, cedar swamps and bogs. Since it is tolerant of shade, the seedlings often come in under a canopy of other species such as white and black spruces, aspen, red maple and yellow and white birches. The needles are flattened, about 1/2 inch long. The cones are clustered at the top of the tree and point upwards. The appear in May and are about 1 inch long and grow to about 2 to 4 inches by the time they ripen in autumn. The bark and needles are very resinous and aromatic. (Plants used by the Great Lakes Ojibwa) ______________________________________________________________________________ Uses & Preparation Information pertaining to collection and medicinal, culinary, and ceremonial uses. For thousands of years Native Americans used Balsam fir for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. The needles are digested directly off the tree by many animals and humans. Higher content dosage is ingested in tea. Balsam Fir contains vitamin C, which has been studied for its effects on bacterial and viral infections. The resin from Balsam Fir is called “Canada Balsam” and is used to make glue and fragrance in candles and soaps.<br />_________________________________________________ Tea made from the bark is used for kidney problems. The bark is boiled with other roots to make a combination for treating asthma. Branches are used to cover the ground at sacred sites such as a sweat lodge. Pitch used for irregular menses and the clear fragrant resin from the bark to treat cuts, burns and all manner of skin afflictions. The resin is chewed to relieve heart and chest pains, as well as other respiratory conditions like colds, bronchitis, and asthma. It is combined with sturgeon oil as an ointment to treat tuberculosis. The bark is decocted for kidney and respiratory problems, usually in combination with other plants. Even the root is sued: small pieces are held in the mouth to relieve sores.

The tobacco plant produces white, cream, pink or red flowers which grow in large clusters, are tubular in appearance and can reach 3.5-5.5 cm (1,25-2 in) in length. The tobacco plant, which was considered to be a magical and sacred herb by the Indians, had numerous names in different parts of the Americas: saire in Peru, petum in Brazil, zemiin the Caribbean, picielt in Mexico, uppowoc in Virginia, and many more. Uses & Preparation Information pertaining to collection and medicinal, culinary, and ceremonial uses. Indian tobacco was used in earlier years as a smoke for treating asthma and other lung ailments. Sacred tobacco was favourite for the Cherokee for ceremonial use, along with Indian tobacco (Lobelia inflata). Tobacco was used for the external treatment of insect bites and snake bites.It was also used for treating fevers, chills, cramps, nervous conditions, and pain in formulasfrom earlier years. In Europe, tobacco was planted only as a strange and wonderful medicinal herb, used as a cure-all for the bites of animals, snakes and insects; headaches, colds, bruises, asthma, giddiness, rheumatism, ulcers, apoplexy and even the plague. It was called Herba panacea – cure-all herb, Herba Santa – sacred herb, San sancta Indorum – Indian sacred cure.<br />Indian tobacco was thought to be a “cure-all” in the early nineteenth century. The plant contains an alkaloid called lobeline, which relaxes muscles. Today tobacco is also used as the homeopathic remedy tabacum, which treats a symptom picture including dizziness, notion sickness, diarrhea and dry cough. Chewing a leaf of the fresh plant relieves toothache, but the narcotic properties render it a less than perfect remedy. The main alkaloid in tobacco – nicotine, has been the subject of copious research. Nicotine patches were introduced as a way to help smokers quit, by giving them a small amount of the addictive chemical without the inhalation of other harmful chemicals. Nicotine has been found to improve cognitive function in older people, including those with Alzheimer’s disease. References List of references used in creating entry. Belcourt, Christi.
