The The Granny-Woman’s Materia Medica
Reproductive health care is an important use of plant-based medicine worldwide and throughout history, but in many regions remains under-documented. This study uses data collected by folklore students at the University of Arkansas and the University of Central Arkansas between the 1940s and the 1970s to document plants historically used for reproductive medicine in the Ozarks and the reproductive health concerns for which these plants were used. …
Johnny Appleseeds of Ginseng
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a medicinal root that is native to eastern North America. Wild ginseng populations appear to be in decline due to destructive land-use policies and harvest rates above the plant's capacity to reproduce. To combat this, many ginseng harvesters in the Appalachia region of the United States advocate for restoring wild ginseng populations through seed planting, but there are vehement disagreements on whether …

In the southern Appalachian Mountains, wild American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) has been harvested for commercial sale for nearly 250 years. Ginseng is vulnerable to overexploitation but can be harvested according to regulations implemented to prevent a tragedy of the commons. Despite regulations, much ginseng is harvested illegally. Conservationists, supported by American property law, tend to believe illegal ginseng harvesters are thieves in…

Residential segregation was framed as both problematic for community relations and a cause of economic inequalities (Cantle, 2001; Denham, 2001). This article presents evidence that ethnic residential segregation in England was not increasing between 1991 and 2001 and that th…
