I’m excited to bring you a guest post today about a new book that I’m currently reading. What drew me to this book, by Samantha Deere, is that it contains an exhaustive lists of plants that grow in North America and how to use them for the health of your family.

For example, did you know that in 1536, Jaques Cartier boiled pine needles to cure his ship crew from scurvy? I learned that in this book.

I asked Samantha Deere and her team if they could share something from the book with us.

They provided us with a recipe for sage potato soup, along with uses for sage. Let us know in the comments if you try it out!

Guest post by Samantha Deere:

My book , ‘Herbalist Guide to Native American Remedies’, is about the ancient herbal knowledge of Native Americans used in modern days. It is mainly about finding, processing and using medicinal plants and herbs growing in North America.

The remedies contained in my book have been passed down for generations. They help with a myriad of issues like energy and sleep regulation, anxiety, immunity, beauty, sexual and reproductive health, and much more. As a mother myself, I know about the needs of everyday life. Therefore, I also included first aid remedies and remedies for kids.

One of the most useful ways to use the power of these plants is to include them into our diet.

The recipe below is an example of this. Having 2 children myself I confirm that they loved it.
