RE: A Cornucopia of Goodness: Natural Medicine's Challenge Now Open
Great. Can’t believe my idea got up.
This is a really important aspect of Folk Medicine, and Folk Medicine is important as it has laid the foundation of medicinal systems East and West.
The important thing is to also do the research and understanding how and why Folk Medicine works, and why it doesn’t.
The development of research in Chinese Medicine over the last 2000 years can be seen as the attempt to understand why a ‘home remedy’ works marvellously well for some, and not for others. The entire paradigm of scientific understanding is built on this knowledge idea, which is very different to what we are used to in the West.
I’ll have a think about some of the ones I have lying around and post... but you’ve also given me an idea for an essay on Folk Medicine.
When do we need to get this in by? 😉
Two weeks, so the final curation will be put together around the end of the first week in September. As per the last time, there will be a reminder at the first week mark. Your idea was a fabulous one, and we really want to work as a collective, so we value your input very much! Can't wait to read your essay!
