- Nettles have square substantial stems covered with little hairs. The leaves are luxuriant, green, and have pronounced veins. The inconspicuous green colored flowers mature into small green seeds that droop in close clusters from the stem of upper leaf pairs. Stinging Nettles prefer moist rich soil and ranges from sea level to elevations over 9,000 feet.
Thimbleberry is a deciduous shrub found thriving in moist shady areas and often forms thickets. These shrubs reach up to six foot in height and bear lush red, multi-seeded, bowl-shaped fruits.The bark is flaky or peeling but without prickles so common among many of the Rosaceae. The margins of its large leaves are finely toothed, have 5-lobes, and possess soft hairs on both the upper and lower surfaces. The small flowers, which bloom between May and August, have five white and crinkled petals.
The pungently scented Yarrow has finely divided fern-like leaves and a flat-topped cluster of many small white flowers. The species grows in a diversity of habitats, flowering from June through September. The densely hairy plants average between ten and twenty inches tall, with leaves one to four inches long.
- This species of Horsetail is a small fern-like perennial with a rhizome that resembles a string of beads. It appears in two different stages, the first being fertile and the second sterile. During the first stage there is a spore-bearing spike atop the stalk. The plant reaches four to eight inches high. During the second stage whorls of needle-like leaves appear. The plant may reach eighteen inches at the second stage. The aerial stems of the second stage plants are the ones gathered. Since they contain a large quantity of silica, they dry quickly in open air. Equisetum arvense has established itself in all parts of the world with the exception of Antarctica, New Zealand, and Australia.
- Brown's Peony is closely related to the buttercup family. This plant has large, heavy, bronzed-colored succulent flowers that are three to four inches across and hang from the ends of long stems. Several large divided leaves grow alternately on the stem. The leaflets are covered with a waxy coat. The fleshy finger-like roots have an earthy scent. This is the only peony native to North America. It is found growing in sagebrush steppes.
Huckleberries are deciduous shrubs 1’ to 3’ tall which form large colonies in mixed conifer forests. It’s loose, open foliage bears oval to lanceolate shaped leaves and is interspersed with many short stems or branches. The bowl-shaped flowers are followed by juicy purple berries, usually found hanging from the underside of the branches. Huckleberry leaves are gathered in the spring before the shrubs flower.
Hyssop is an aromatic perennial in mint family. Originally from Mediterranean it is now cultivated worldwide. Its tube-like blue-purple flowers bloom during summer and it can grow to 2 feet tall.
Chamomile is a well known and widely used plant. The delicate fragrant flowers have many tiny white petals with large yellow centers.

Cautions
Yarrow should not be used during pregnancy due to its effects on the menstrual cycle. Yarrow may cause an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family (i.e. ragweed, marigolds, daisies). Internal use of large amounts of Yarrow may cause sedative and diuretic effects in some individuals. Yarrow may enhance sedative effects of other herbs or drugs with sedative properties. Avoid the use of Horsetail during pregnancy. Horsetail is not recommended for use in children. Avoid the use of Horsetail if impaired heart or kidney function exists. Do not use Horsetail in combination with antihypertensive drugs, digitalis, corticosteroids, heparin, or lithium. If taking Horsetail for a prolonged time, supplement thiamine (vitamin B1) in your diet, because Horsetail does interfere with thiamine absorption. Avoid taking the thiamine at the same time as the Horsetail. Do not use Brown’s Peony during pregnancy as it may induce menstruation. An overdose of Brown's Peony can result in stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Do not use hyssop during pregnancy.
