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).

Everyone be careful, paypal is using off shore call centers to process problems that are being had with their system. 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.
