A member asked:
How were diseases cured by the pioneers of the west?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excellent question: I am not an authority on this subject. But i suspect that they brought some medicines with them from the east. They likely were taught remedies by indians. My mother was a forager & it is amazing how many things can be remedied by plants in the woods. I know that many pioneers died from their illnesses.
