Native Land: 
Unlike many places, North America has stayed quite peaceful for many years, despite the quote on quote "discoveries" which occurred during the time. This means that their culture and traditions are still well preserved.

Medicine Wheel:
Herbologists of that time, which were called "medicine men" (women could still be included) used a medicine wheel. Each quadrant of this medicine wheel is associated with a plant which was considered sacred. 

Colonial Cultivation:

Colonial knowledge of plants was quite complicated. It was certainly difficult to communicate between native groups, mainly due to suspicion. This meant that knowledge was very limited and witches and wizards would normally need to rely on muggle knowledge of plants. Luckily, once ministries were formed within North America, witches and wizards were able to communicate with eachother again. 

Healing Herbs: 

Angelica: This herb grows in groups of simlar types. There are many variants of Angelica, however this passage is focused on the Angelica atropurpurea. This pernnerial plant is home to the northen parts of North American. Angelica usually grows best in mushy and swampy ground. It requires at least partial sun, and a pH level between 6.5 to 8. The plant is able to stand in water. The roots of Angelica are used as treatment for chest pain and pnemonia. The roots can also be used for purification and ritualistic medicines. Its juice, on the other hand, can be used to treat the common cold. 

Mesquite: Prosopis glandulosa is found within the south-east of North America and is quite invasive. This plant requires a pH level between 6 and 8.2 and needs little water. Though it grows best in full sun, it can tolerate any level but full shade. This plant generally grows between 20 and 30 feet. The gum from the trees can be used to treat irritated eyes. The leaves, on the other hand, can be used in the Dulling Prevention Draught. 

Rat Root: Acorus americanus is an emergant water plant, meaning it grows best along rivers, lakes etc. Full sun is essential for rat root, and should grow in soil with a pH level of 6.5 to 7.4. It usually grows from one to three feet and will bloom within summer months. The roots can be dried and grounded for usage within the Wit-Sharpening potion. It can also be used to recover from a stroke or make the smell of an unpleasent potion more bearable. Rat root can be linked to miscarriages, so pregnant women shouldn't consume it.
