I read, long ago, about something indigenous people do for broken bones, etc., that involves hollowing out a large branch/tree trunk to set the limb in, and then applying some mixture of something, which actually does something to the injured bone. Does anyone know what this is?

Re: South/Central American poultice
No, but on Star Trek, Dr. McCoy once healed a silicon based life form with a sack of concrete, if that helps...
(Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!)
On the more serious but still somewhat giggly side, I read an article about MaryJane that claims boo helps heal bones.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: South/Central American poultice
I did a quick google search and many of what I came up with revolved around the Aborigines. I haven't read all the articles but I searched "indigenous people healing bones".Comment

Re: South/Central American poultice
A lot of modern medical stuff was/is based on Native medicine. Aspirin is based on a Native American use of chewing on bark.
Actually from searching it goes back much further.
Quote from site:
The ancient Egyptians used willow bark as a remedy for aches and pains, said Diarmuid Jeffreys, author of "Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug." They didn't know that what was reducing body temperature and inflammation was the salicylic acid.
