Romani medicine, remedies, healthcare

From Zoli p.___ - Wash self and clothing only in running water
From this family's oral tradition about Gypsy participation in healing - going on battlefields to help wounded and using spider web to treat/hold wounds - see site on Geneology

For a survey of Roma history, culture and beliefs, including health practices, see ://www3.baylor.edu/~Charles_Kemp/gypsy_health.htm.
