Prescription Sticks

Recently, I read about prescription sticks made by ancient Native American tribes. These sticks contained many recipes for medicine. Each figure represents a plant. The sticks were used as memory aids in the process of gathering and preparing plants for medicine.

It is said that in the Old Days, old men walking in the fields would look like they were talking to themselves but, in fact, they were talking to the plants. If you do it long enough the plants will talk back to you.
