Interesting I live in Ohio Amish Country and though I don't know any personally, I did work home health for a time. Amish young girls and older single women are often privately hired to care for the chronically ill. I did meet one family who had an older Amish woman whose father was noted as being successful at laying on of hands healing. She reported no success with adults, but claimed to have "the gift" with children. There are also still herbiest practitioners among the Amish, though even they are turning more to modern medicine. My great uncle of Clearfield County was the son of a miller, but knew a lot of woods lore. He gave me boneset tea one spring and it was terrible, but he used it as a tonic. His sister, my grandmother used sassafras tea for "female" problems. Our high school biology teacher used to warn us about some of the local tea treatments as compounds that could dangerously lower blood pressure per him. just some jottings, Jean
