Bass was a special character in the herbal folklore of the South. Born the

Tommie became famous for his encyclopedic knowledge of medicinal plants. He
also came to be known as a link to the distanct past of the rural South.

moonshiners.
Mountain Medicine The Herbal Remedies of Tommie Bass
by
Darryl Patton
Tommie Bass was a pivotal figure in the changing
landscape of American herbalism and an inspiration
to a whole generation of younger herbalists. Tommie
practiced what he preached, living a life true to
his beliefs, creating an archetype whose influence
transcended the Appalachian area of north Alabama
where he lived. The time-tested techniques and
pharmacopoeia of Appalachian folk medicine form a
component of traditional Western folk medicine that
embodies American self-reliance and creativity,
which is still evolving today. This book presents,
often in his own words, the living legacy that
Tommie left us of plants and their healing powers.
“I always did believe that God never did make no
mistakes. He never made anything He didn’t make a
remedy for. The Lord’s put something out there if we
would only get out there and hunt it.” —Tommie Bass
Currently, this book is out of print
with a few
collectible copies still available.
