$Ohio Native Plants \u2013 Medicinally Speaking$

Indigenous communities, settlers, immigrants, doctors, and researchers have long relied on native plants for medicinal purposes. Today, approximately 40% of our medicines are derived from plants. The intersection of high-tech science with nature yields remarkable results. Ongoing research is uncovering the medicinal properties of native plants, validating their historical uses. In this presentation Carol Mundy delves into the history of select Ohio native plants and their significance in traditional and contemporary medicine.
