Healing Traditions of Acadiana -- Herbalism & the Civil War
2024-01-13 11:00 - 12:30 | Vermilionville – Performance Center

She grew up in Metairie and has lived in a wide variety of growing zones including Nashville, Tennessee, Bennington, Vermont, Troy, New York, Westchester County, New York, and south Louisiana.
Her paternal grandmother introduced her to the wonders of the elder plant and began her several decades journey in the study of medicinal herbs. Lanier is a former Louisiana master gardener, a past member of The Herb Society of America and a past chair of the Baton Rouge Unit.

Herbalism and the US Civil War –
Explore the fascinating facts of civil war and the impact of herbal medicine, politics, social customs and traditions on the lives of soldiers as well as the eventual outcome of the conflict.
Hollywood presents the period as being rife with brutal approaches consisting primarily of amputations, but the reality is so much more complex and interesting than that. Which side had the medical care advantage at the start of the war? How was medical care during the war influenced by wars that came before? Where did the drugs come from? Who knew how to use them? What kind of training did battlefield physicians have?
This presentation will expand and alter the way you view Civil War medical practices and the use of medicinal herbs from 1861-1865, their impact on the war’s outcome, and the surprising impact it continues to have on present day health care.
