Navajo Balms from Medicine
of the People
Virgina Boone is
Navajo, and for fifteen years she has turned the traditional herbal
medicine of her people into Medicine of the People—a line of balms,
lotions, teas and other natural products. The idea may seem like a
tightrope-walk: selling the fruits of sacred knowledge without
compromising tribal traditions. But Boone says she's simply carrying on
her family's work, which is to bring healing to anyone who needs it.
