The Gaelic pharmacy was rich, the sources of which lay almost
entirely in nature and were subject to the minimum of preparation.
Much of the rich store of material comes from the great legacy of
medieval Gaelic manuscripts. In more recent times, papers of
medical societies have shown how traditional methods and cures are
still of value to modern medicine. In addition to a general
historical background, which traces the story of Highland folk
tradition from earliest times, Mary Beith describes a whole variety
of traditional remedies, cures and practices, from the healing
properties of stone and metal, animals and insects, to rituals,
charms and incantations. Her book also includes a list of the most
commonly used herbs. Clearly written with extensive source notes,
Healing Threads is a unique introduction to a subject that has
fascinated generation after generation.
