High in the mountains, far from any pharmacy, generations learned to care for one another with what grew nearby. This gathers that hard-won knowledge from villages across the Alps and the Andes: teas for thin air and altitude sickness, poultices for aching joints worn down by cold and work, and remedies passed down for coughs, cuts, and winter fatigue. Grounded, patient, and rich with the wisdom of people who had no other choice but to know.
