Medicinal
Wetlands
by
Ted Timreck
The
Lebanon Valley has been a source of healing
waters and rare medicinal plants since the end
of the last Ice Age. The Native, spiritual and
secular communities that developed around the
wetlands have all shaped the history of American
medicine.
In
the groundbreaking film Medicinal Wetlands
Ted Timreck explores the huge Shaker Swamp at
the base of Mount Lebanon, used as a source
of medicinal plants by Native Peoples, the Shakers
and Tilden Company --the first pharmaceutical
company in the country.
