Studies in Santal Medicine and Connected Folklore (1940)
Studies in Santal Medicine and Connected Folklore is an ethnographic study of the medicine and disease beliefs of the Santals by the Norwegian missionary and folklorist P. O. Bodding (1865–1938). It was issued in three parts as Volume 10 of the Memoirs of the Asiatic Society of Bengal between 1925 and 1940: part 1, The Santals and disease (1925); part 2, Santal medicine (1927); and part 3, How the Santals live (1940). Compiled from notes Bodding set down over some three decades of residence among the Santals, it records Santal disease categories, the spirits held to cause illness, the medicine man who treated it and the prescriptions and rituals in use.
The first two parts were digitised by the Wellcome Collection and are the basis of this account; the third was published separately in 1940. The work is the principal documentary record of early-20th-century Santal ethnomedicine. Among the several hundred plants it catalogues is the Santal gã̄jã, which Bodding identifies as Cannabis sativa and which appears both as a medicinal ingredient and as an item demanded in a spirit-possession rite.
Its botanical content attracted little notice for some forty years, until in 1970 S. K. Jain and C. R. Tarafder published an indexed revival of it in Economic Botany, reorganising the plants into an alphabetical glossary keyed to the diseases each treats. read more →

Cannabis eradications
We are witnessing the rapid disappearance of traditional cultivation knowledge and genetic diversity in cannabis. These landrace populations represent thousands of years of natural and human selection, containing unique genetic traits and chemical profiles. Systematic documentation and conservation efforts can serve as a bridge, preserving irreplaceable genetic heritage while supporting traditional communities and advancing our understanding of this remarkable plant.
