Sinossi
Excerpt from Indian Notes, Vol. 7: Number One, January 1930
The cures were regarded to be, to a certain extent, secret property. The women went out at odd times to places where desired roots and plants grew, when others would not know of their whereabouts. Mrs. Ryan does the same, but gives as the reason the desire to protect plants from being gathered wastefully. In con nection with the preparation of roots and herbs to be used for medicinal purposes, there are certain rules which must be observed in order to preserve the potent properties of the plants and to cause the remedy to effect a cure. The plants must not be gathered during dog days, but just prior to that period. It is believed that the Sun is a great healer and strengthener, therefore plants and roots to be used for medicine should be dried in the sun. Vvhen' gathering bark, only the inner bark is taken. No metal should be used in the preparation of roots and herbs; they must be pounded or crushed between two stones or beaten in a small wooden mortar made especially for that purpose.
