Description
Our Western medicine does not stem from the theories of learned doctors and pharmacists; its roots go back to ancient times. This knowledge was gathered by hunters and gatherers of the Paleolithic era, nomadic herders, and the first settled farmers. It is traditional folk medicine, the knowledge of ordinary people, grandmothers and herbalists, shepherds and root gatherers. In addition to the root of medicinal herbs, the word was also effectively used in the sense of shamanic healing, dealing with the spirits of illness, and communicating with the essence of plants. Cultural anthropologist and ethnobotanist Wolf-Dieter Storl writes about all this in his usual knowledgeable, comprehensive, deep, and engaging style.
