ASEFETIDA
WHEN MS. BOW'S MOTHER WAS A CHILD SHE HAD TO WEAR A BAG OF
ASAFETIDA AROUND HER NECK TO KEEP HER FROM GETTING SICK. MS. BOW
SAID THAT THIS WAS A MIXTURE OF SCIENCE AND FOLK TALES.
Submitter comment:
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE FOLK REMEDIES BUT I DECIDED TO
CONCENTRATE ON OTHER SEGMENTS OF FOLKLORE FOR MY COLLECTION.
