When Granny Knew What to Do explores the healing traditions once passed from generation to generation in Appalachian homes. Step back into the hills and hollows of Appalachia, to a time when families often depended on the wisdom of Granny Women, midwives, herbalists, and old-fashioned home remedies. Inside, you’ll find old-time remedies organized by illness and complaint, along with traditional ingredients, measurements, preparations, household cures, herbal traditions, poultices, teas, washes, and the stories behind them. From coughs, colds, sore throats, stomach troubles, aching joints, insect bites, skin complaints, and everyday injuries, to the herbs gathered from mountain gardens and woodland paths, this book preserves a part of Appalachian life that is quickly disappearing.
