About this ebook

Beginning with an illustrated guide to the herbs and roots used in traditional Appalachian healing, “Mountain Folk Remedies” is a fascinating collection of historic remedies ranging from the practical (burdock tea will help aching feet) to the magical (carrying a buckeye in your pocket will help lessen arthritis).

Foxfire has brought the philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers, teaching creative self-sufficiency and preserving the stories, crafts, and customs of Appalachia.  Inspiring and practical, this classic series has become an American institution. In July 2016, Vintage Shorts celebrates Foxfire's 50th Anniversary.

Google and paypal, are once again being cheap and not employing Americans and I do mean Americans to work with them in problem resolution. If there was a way to give them a zero rating I would.

fox fire has so much knowledge in medicines but also how the people lived and worked I love these books I have one of my own and I have used some of there remedies that I had in my own back yard

Read these books in the 70s as they were first published in the late 90s they cured my HIV
