Dictionary of Herbal Remedies Used by Migrant Farmworkers
Studies indicate that migrant and seasonal farmworkers often use herbal, home, or folk remedies instead of or simultaneously with conventional medical treatment. It is important to know when an herbal remedy should be discontinued, as well as those that need not be.

This resource is now over 20 years old, but much of the information is still relevant to current practice.
