Many of the plants in this book are found worldwide and many can be cultivated. Most can be found within one hundred feet of your home, and careful observation will help you become familiar with many nearby, useful plants.

Be Your Own Shaman is laid out in fourteen sections—divided by ailment since most people look for specific plants for specific health conditions. Most plants will include extra tips for making herbal remedies at home and basically enjoying all the gifts from utilizing plant medicine in your everyday life. The final section gives plant identification tips and basic taxonomy along with preparation methods for tinctures, decoctions, infusions, and poultices.
