Native Herb Plants

Sand Mountain is very unique in that its soil is primarily made of sand.  The mountain is a flat topped plateau that is a part of the foothills of the Appalachian mountain chain.  The entire area is home to numerous state parks as well as Little River National Preserve on Sand Mountain's sister mountain, Lookout Mountain.  Most of the land is approximately half forest (woods as we say around here) and half farmland with lots of deep hollows along the edge of the mountain.  Beautiful place to live.

Types of Herbal Plants Found on Sand Mountain

Sand Mountain is filled with an abundance of herbs.  Many people think of these plants as "weeds", but we know that God placed the plants of the field for our use.  In our yards, cancer weed, sheep sorrel, star of David, goose grass, even morning glories can be found very easy.   The wooded areas have a great number of medicinal trees... red oak, willow, sassafras, witch hazel, sweet gum, and more.   You can also find lower growing plants like ginseng, black cohosh, bloodroot, yellow root (on river bottoms), trillium (red & white), yellow flag, ground nut, Solomon's seal, goldenseal, and more.  The open areas tend to have herbs like blackberry, honeysuckle, butterfly weed, New York iron weed, etc.  We could go on and on but you get the idea.  A wise old herbalist from this area, Tommy Bass, once said that we could be walking on the cures to many diseases, even cancer, and not even realize it.  Many people want to look to the rain forests of South America and other far way places, but we think that Sand Mountain is home to cured yet discovered.
