The Lost Appalachian Remedy Book: The Complete Guide to Appalachian Folk Medicine Herbal Remedies, Tinctures, Salves and Lost Cures from America's Mountain Tradition

What Did America's Mountain Healers Know That Modern Medicine Forgot?For three centuries, the families of the Appalachian Mountains lived and healed without pharmacies, without doctors, and without a single pill. They healed because they knew their land. They knew that the plantain growing through the doorstep was a first aid kit. That elderberry boiling in September was the difference between a mild winter and a sick one. That the valerian in the hollow was better for sleep than anything a traveling salesman ever sold from a wagon.That knowledge was nearly lost.
