The Root & The Road

Before healing became an industry it was whole. The person who set the bone also knew what broth would bring the milk in. The midwife knew the plants. The hearth keeper knew the fever. That knowledge didn't disappear. It got buried. The Root & The Road goes digging. Each episode follows one thread of ancestral medicine — European healing traditions, pre-industrial body knowledge, the practices that sustained human frames long before the pharmaceutical aisle existed. Not to romanticize the past. To recover what actually worked and understand why we stopped using it. The bone remembers what the body survived. This show is the map. 🎧 Themes: ancestral medicine • European healing traditions • pre-industrial health • herbal medicine • body knowledge • historical wellness • survival medicine • heritage practices
