I have been in the great town of Paintsville. In fact, they're hosting the Eastern KY Genealogy Conference this year. It rotates; last year it was in Louisa. My 3rd great-grandpa, Joel Long, fell ill one winter during the Civil War and went to the home of his father-in-law, Cornelius Vanover, who was an herb doctor. I imagine he used a lot of the same plants you talk about. I only wish I knew the kind of stories you do. Those are the kinds of memories and experiences that are truly priceless.
