This podcast discusses a “top 10” list of the medicinal herbs I would choose to have with me if there was no further medicinal care beyond what I could provide for myself or others. While only having 10 herbs to choose from is definitely a huge limitation for me, it also is a great exercise in learning the myriad of medicinal effects that a single plant can have.
- Plantain (Plantago spp.)
- Algerita (Mahonia trifoliolata) or Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis)
- Echinacea (Echinacea spp.)
- Elecampane (Inula helenium)
- Pleurisy (Asclepius tuberosa)
- Chaparral (Larrea spp.)
- Horsetail (Equitesum arvense)
