The CLSR will promote the stewardship of Medicinal Plants as well as their safe and effective use**. Plant products are central to all medical traditions and the Pacific Northwest is rich in useful species. Here are just a few traditional Puget Sound Medicinal Plants:

Kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)   

Red Huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium)

Blue Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)

Nootka Rose (Rosa nutkana)

Indian Consumption Plant (L. nudicaule)

Yearba Buena (Satureja douglasii)

Wild Ginger (Asarum caudatum)

** All medicine must be taken with care and knowledge.
