Synopsis "Healing Roots: Anthropology in Life and Medicine (Epistemologies of Healing)"
Umhlonyane, also known as Artemisia afra, is one of the oldest and best-documented indigenous medicines in South Africa. This bush, which grows wild throughout the sub-Saharan region, smells and tastes like ",medicine,", thus easily making its way into people',s lives and becoming the choice of everyday healing for Xhosa healer-diviners and Rastafarian herbalists. This ",natural", remedy has recently sparked curiosity as scientists search for new molecules against a tuberculosis pandemic while hoping to recognize indigenous medicine. Laplante follows umhlonyane on its trails and trials of becoming a biopharmaceutical - from the ",open air", to controlled environments - learning from the plant and from the people who use it with hopes in healing. �_,
