Description: Title: Southern Folk Medicine: Healing Traditions from the Appalachian Fields and Forests Author: Light, Phyllis D. Publisher: North Atlantic Books Binding: Paperback Pages: 304 Dimensions: 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d Product Weight: 1 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9781623171568 For the first time ever, an active practitioner describes the history, folklore, and remedies of Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine in this groundbreaking guide for curious herbalists. This book is the first to describe the history, folklore, assessment methods, and remedies of Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine--the only system of folk medicine, other than Native American, that developed in the United States. One of the system's last active practitioners, Phyllis D. Light has studied and worked with herbs, foods, and other healing techniques for more than thirty years. In everyday language, she explains how Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine was passed down orally through the generations by herbalists and healers who cared for people in their communities with the natural tools on hand. Drawing from Greek, Native American, African, and British sources, this uniquely American folk medicine combines what is useful and practical from many traditions to create an energetic system that is coherent and valuable today.
