Folk Medicine The Art and the Science Takes the mystery out of miracle cures. Explores the medical prac­ tices of nonwestern cultures to establish a scientific basis for the successes of folk remedies. Ex­ plains why western medical re­ searchers are increasingly turn­ ing their attention to folk medicine for new drugs. Brings together work from many coun­ tries and a variety of cultures.
