Culpeper's Herbal Remedies
An Adaptation of the Classic
English Physician and Complete Herbal
by Dr. Nicholas Culpeper
|
 |
Most of the Herbs described by Dr. Nicholas Culpeper in his English Physician and Complete Herbal are used by herbalists today for the same purposes. Distillations have been superseded by extracts and tinctures, not because they are better but because they are cheaper, quicker, and less trouble to make. Infusions, decoctions, ointments and poultices are made in the same way and used in the same way for the same disorders.
Dr. Nicholas Culpeper (1616 – 1654) devoted most of his short life to treating the poor, and his books, which became extremely popular and went into many editions, were written to instruct the poor how to cure themselves. They were written therefore in a language they would understand and there is no attempt to disguise the nature of the disease or the symptoms it may cause.
Culpeper's Herbal Remedies, an adaptation of Nicholas Culpeper's English Physician and Complete Herbal, is intended for modern use, and a clinical index is included showing how every day ailments can be dealt with at home by herbal treatment without reverting to drugs.
