| Will rosemary get rid of nits? Does oatmeal cure smelly feet? Can eels' livers help a difficult pregnancy? This fascinating book draws on both interviews and archival research to unearth the hidden history of what is now known as complementary medicine. The first part traces the important role of women as healers in the community, while the second offers a compendium of the natural remedies all too often dismissed as 'old wives' tales'. | ||||
