{"product_id":"southern-folk-medicine-healing-traditions-from-the-appalachian-fields-and-forests","title":"Southern Folk Medicine: Healing Traditions from the Appalachian Fields and Forests","description":"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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nDrawing 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1623171563\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1623171563.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Light, Phyllis D.|Wood, Matthew|Gladstar, Rosemary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
