Medicinal Plants of Goa

[Themistocles D'Silva]

Rafael Barreto's name is long lost to history.

In his time, as professor of pharmacy and etnoparmachologist at 

Escola Medica, he studied and documented a considerable number 

of plants indigenous to Goa, for its medicinal and other uses.

His many publications in Portuguese lie dormant in the libraries and 

archives.

This book is still in print. While it deals with recipes, it also has a number of "home remedies".

QUOTE: More than half the book is taken by the home encyclopedia which has home remedies for everything from sore eyes to snake bites and scorpion stings. There is a section on how to guard against burglars, how to clean ivory articles and how to buy a cow by checking her udders. There is even a section on sex education. UNQUOTE
One might add that it comes from the Mangalorean community, whoise food, language and home remedies are close to Goa.... they being (centuries-old) outmigrants from here.
