A Remedy for Craziness


Have you ever found yourself out on a hike without your toothbrush…or even worse, without any toilet paper?  There are very good substitutes out in the woods if you know what to look for.  Join us as we introduce ourselves to the Indian toothbrush, the “toilet paper tree,” and a few plants that you can use to make herbal teas.  And just in case some of the people you're out in the woods with are driving you crazy, we'll teach you a Chippewa remedy for craziness.  Boot Boutwell will help you identify a variety of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers and provide you with stories of their uses by Native Americans, colonial Americans, and modern-day folks.
