African American Herbal Remedies
Just as Africans brought their customs, traditions
and religious beliefs with them from Africa, they also brought
their medicinal remedies and cures. They also developed cures
and remedies themselves. These remedies were highly valued
by the white population of the plantation. This demonstration
shows how honey, cow manure, leeches, herbs and other products
were used as remedies. Some of these remedies are still used
today.
On Fridays, we demonstrate Carpentry or
African American Herbal Remedies. One is shown each Friday,
on an alternating basis.
