Abstract
The more than one hundred different Native American Indian cultures of the United States and Canada developed a rich pharmacopoeia before contact with Europeans began in the fifteenth century. Together these Native American groups contributed 220 indigenous drugs to "The Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America". Some of these remedies are used today in North America, Europe and elsewhere.
