From the past to the present, herbs and humoral eating
has a lasting importance in the upkeep of human health. If you were a Pilgrim,
your mother or your wife was your primary care physician – naturally! Join us as
Vicki Oman, Plimoth Plantation museum educator, talks about how people looked
inwards to their community for treatment of illness, most often mothers or
wives, and how their understanding of the natural world defined medicine and
treament. Learn about herbal medicine, the four humors and the Doctrine of
Signatures from both a Pilgrim housewife and the modern
woman.
