Folk medicine in Texas linked to culture and access
Dr. Maria Luisa Urdaneta of the University of Texas at San Antonio notes that various folk remedies persist among Mexican Americans, rural Black families, and Southern communities. Remedies include egg rubs for fever, herbal teas, salt and fish for goiter, claypacks or spider webs to stop bleeding, goose grease for colds, and epsom salts for hypertension, reflecting ongoing practice where care access is limited and dehydration and fluids matter.
