A passage from Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States:
For mild cystitis, urethritis, and general urinary tract irritation, the tea is nicely soothing. 2–3 cups a day is especially useful for irritabilities and mucus–tinged urine dependent upon shifts in urinary pH, diet, and other transitory non–infectious factors.
A passage from Wild Edible Plants of Arizona:
The edibility of Wild strawberry needs little explanation; they are just as tasty as garden–grown or store–bought Strawberry (usually the cultivar – Fragaria X ananassa).
A passage from Wild Edible Plants of New Mexico:
From the Sangre de Cristos and Chuskas, south to the Mogollon and Sacramento Mountains, look to higher elevations for Wild strawberry. It is most often found in dappled shade with Fir, Spruce, and/or Aspen overhead.
A passage from Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States:
The plant’s flavonoid–tannin complexes are specific to the reproductive area; in fact, consider Wild strawberry a fair replacement for Red raspberry. 1 cup of tea daily as a last–trimester uterine tonic is a practical dosage/application. Even as a soothing and tonifying postpartum wash/sitz bath, the plant is nearly identical in use to Red raspberry.
A passage from Wild Edible Plants of Arizona:
From the Kaibab Plateau and San Francisco Peaks, to the Mogollon Rim, White Mountains, and Sky Islands, look to high elevations for Wild strawberry. It is most often found in dappled shade with Fir, Spruce, and/or Aspen overhead.
A passage from Wild Edible Plants of New Mexico:
The drawbacks to Wild strawberry are its small fruit size and erratic fruit development. Plants lower in elevation are often sterile. The best fruit producers grow at about 9500’ and higher.
