"Medicine" in most of the country means pills or capsules or vials, all carefully packaged, sterile, and bearing little resemblance to items found in nature.

Ciders, potions, teas, and tinctures and more are laid out in the book.
We get Rosemary on the phone to talk about her longstanding interest in herbs and their uses.
