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."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Artemisia afra $x Therapeutic use $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Medicinal plants $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Traditional medicine $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Medical anthropology $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Ethnopharmacology $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Molecular biology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Drugs $x Testing. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x Chemotherapy. 650 7 $a Medicinsk antropologi. $2 sao 651 4 $a Sydafrika. 650 7 $a Arzneimittelentwicklung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Beifuà $g Gattung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Biopharmazie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethnomedizin $2 gnd 650 7 $a Lokales Wissen $2 gnd 650 7 $a Naturheilkunde $2 gnd 651 7 $a SuÌdafrika. $2 gnd 651 7 $a SuÌdafrika $g Kontinent $2 gnd 650 12 $a Plants, Medicinal. 650 12 $a Artemisia. 650 22 $a Tuberculosis $x drug therapy. 651 2 $a South Africa. 650 7 $a Drugs $x Testing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898940 650 7 $a Ethnopharmacology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738861 650 7 $a Medical anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013693 650 7 $a Medicinal plants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014866 650 7 $a Molecular biology $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024752 650 7 $a Traditional medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153974 650 7 $a Tuberculosis $x Chemotherapy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01158501 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 830 0 $a Epistemologies of healing ; $v v. 15. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423014750.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67E39334658D11E99B4892F996128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
