Summary of Phyllis D. Light's Southern Folk Medicine

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We went ginseng hunting down the mountain, but had no luck. We were exhausted, so we headed back toward the truck, a long walk up the north face of the mountain on an overgrown and long-deserted roadbed.

#2 I loved exploring abandoned homesteads, and I often found old fruit jars, patent medicine bottles, and marbles. I would flaunt my finds to my siblings and cousins.

#3 Ginseng is a medicinal plant that is used to treat many ailments. It is said that if you harm one snake, the other will exact revenge; what you do to one, you do to the other.

#4 Ginseng is a magical herb that has a rare and mysterious quality. It is not simply harvested or gathered, but rather it is hunted. Ginseng is smart and can become invisible unless it wants to be gathered.
