Photo taken in Northern California of what appears to be dried Figwort which is a medicinal plant. This is growing where I have been encountering many ancient artifacts. So far, with the help of the elders, we have identified many different medicinal plants there. #NativeAmericanMedicine #LandBack

Photo taken January 4, 2025, near Beegum Gorge, Shasta County, Northern California of what appears to be dried California Figwort. If this was/is Figwort, then it is a medicinal plant. I just thought it looked cool as I was watching the sun rise. #figwort #NativePlants #NativeAmericanMedicine

Photo taken July 16, 2022, near a small tributary of Dubakella Creek, Trinity County, Northern California of a dandelion. My dad said that this flower was used like an OTC medicine by his family from time immemorial for many different ailments, so it’s not a weed! #dandelion #NativeAmericanMedicine
