Native American Medicines of the Southeast by Award-Winning Author and Naturalist Mark Warren at the Bartow History Museum

Join award-winning author and naturalist Mark Warren for a lecture and photo presentation on Native American Medicines of the Southeast. The diverse flora of the Southeast once provided everything that was needed by the original inhabitants. Our modern day ignoring of these gifts is what separates us from a life of truly interacting with nature on an intimate level. And that loss has, no doubt, contributed to our careless handling of the land. The good news is that this trend can be reversed, one person at a time. This program covers plants that may be used for common ailments, ranging from minor cuts, stings, head lice, and rashes to gall stones, dysentery, nausea, and skin cancer. Techniques for field preparations are included. For more information about Mark Warren, check out his website at www.markwarrenbooks.com
