A Field Guide to Medicinal Wild Plants of Canada

by Beverley Gray

This compact laminated accordion-style field guide introduces 26 common Canadian wild plants with healing properties. Learn how to use arnica blossoms for muscle inflammation, chickweed to support digestion, and yarrow leaf for minor tooth pain. Identifying and using wild medicinal plants is both practical and rewarding.

Each plant profile includes a colour photograph, identification and habitat information, along with medicinal and culinary uses. Herbalist Beverley Gray also shares guidance on sustainable harvesting and safe use of wild plants.

Designed as a fold-out, waterproof reference (not a bound book), this guide is small enough to slip into a pocket or backpack—ideal to keep handy while exploring wild plants around you.

  • Aroma Borealis Herb Shop has become a community staple that was born in 1998 from Herbalist Beverley Gray’s love and passion for wild medicinal plants. Aroma Borealis operates in the wilderness city of Whitehorse, Yukon and creates and sells all-natural bodycare, aromatherapy and herbal skin care products in addition to herbal teas, all of which have been inspired by the plants of the northern Boreal forest and the people who live here. 

  • Fringing the northern part of the planet, the Yukon is vast,  rich in plant and animal life, its ecology has been and is essential to the dietary,  medicinal, and spiritual health of Yukon indigenous people for thousands of years. We acknowledge and are grateful to work on Yukon First Nations lands and on the traditional territories of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council.

The Yukon is beautiful, pristine and is teaming with wild medicinal plants! 

The mountain air, water and land are still clean! Aroma Borealis products are a reflection of how we have been inspired by the northern boreal forest and the people who live here. Aroma Borealis is a business that incorporates Northern wild plants into natural herbal health and aromatherapy bodycare products. We combine wild plants from the sub arctic, with organically grown herbs and essential oils, which I like to refer to as healing collages from around the globe.
