- Explores more than 400 species of lichens, alongside full-color photos - Shows the ways that indigenous peoples of North America have traditionally used lichens for food, clothing, dye, paint, and medicine - Explains in detail the scientific research behind the potency of lichen chemicals to heal many human conditions Lichens--a symbiosis of fungi, algae, bacteria, and yeast--can grow on nearly any surface and thrive in an extremely wide range of environments, from trees in old-growth forests, to hot deserts, cold polar regions, and even on the International Space Station. Used for millennia by indigenous people for food, clothing, art, and medicine, lichens are now being recognized by modern science for their unique medicinal potential against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, viruses, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this full-color illustrated encyclopedia, Robert Dale Rogers, RH(AHG), explores more than 400 species of North American lichens, detailing their traditional indigenous uses, mythology, chemistry, pharmacology, and possible healing applications, along with naturalist observations from the 19th and 20th centuries. He explains how lichens, along with mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, are members of the Fungi Kingdom and, surprisingly, more biologically related to humans than to plants. He looks at what types of lichens we can find in specific geographic regions and habitats and shows how lichens are an indicator species, revealing the health of their surrounding environment and neighboring life forms, including us. Interpreting modern research on the chemistry of lichens and showing how they can be used as powerful medicines, Rogers explores their chemical constituents, detailing each lichen chemical's healing properties, from easing coughs to inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. He reveals how pharmacological researchers often are rediscovering the ancient wisdom of lichens long known by indigenous peoples, such as how the Navajo use dried Xanthoparmelia for impetigo caused by Streptococcus. Showcasing the benefits as well as the beauty of lichens, this book reveals how lichens are the perfect example of strength, cooperation, and harmonious living.

We all know and love members of the rose family. They are most easily identified by the number 5, present in leaves, petals, and sepals, often with five alternate bractlets. The fruit comes in different forms called achenes, follicles, drupes or pomes. For purposes of simpilicity in this book, I will use the common term fruit to identify all. The following chapters are arranged by genus not common names. Recent taxonomic revisions suggest moving some plants out of the family, but this volume contains recent opinion on placements, and reflects my personal bias. The Rose family contains some of our most healing plants, for uses both internally and externally.

The interest in medicinal mushrooms is exploding with new discoveries every day. In this book, Robert examines the potential health benefits of over 160 species, based on in vitro, in vivo and human clinical trials.
