Green Healers
VC-GH

Rs. 250.00
US$ 10.00

Over a million folk practitioners are found practically in every village throughout the length and breadth of India. Healing men (and also animals) is not generally their main profession, which will mostly be farming, asonry, pottery or even music! These epitomes of rustic and frugal simplicity are the carriers of India\'s folk health traditions, which have survived over thousands of years in spite of a total lack of documentation and any institutional framework to support and sustain them. Yet, today it is the largest community based health care system that is working anywhere in the world. FRLHT has been organising a series of folk practitioner\'s conventions in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala to provide them with a forum for exchange of knowledge and also to draw public attention to the plight of these traditions. Green Healers, shot mostly during these conventions, tries to present a pictorial account of the diversity of folk medicine knowledge and plants used by its practitioners.
