CHAPTER 1
 INTRODUCTION TO HERBS
Herbalism and medicine, also known as alchemy, remained
as one until the seventeenth century. The seventeenth
century brought about a change when it became a crime
to practice alchemy.

Mankind still needed treatment for illnesses so medicine

alone began to be practiced. This was accomplished by
ignoring traditional herbalism with its lore sometimes
steeped in mysticism and concentrating on medicine alone.

The new books produced from this time on dealt with

either medicine or botany. The books on botany dealt
only with the physical descriptions and classifications
of herbs. All the medical books ignored the medicinal
properties of plants, and plant lore.

Before this schism occurred an herbal had been the

combination of the medicinal properties of herbs,
traditional plant lore, as well as their botanical
classification.

This previous tradition of combining herbalism with

medicine had been used from the time of the Saxons
down to the time of Culpepper the herbalist.

Nicholas Culpeppper, published the `Physical Directory'

in 1649, which drew down on him a folly of furious
verbal attacks from the College of Physicians. It was
from that time forward the gap between herbalism and
medicine truly began.

Only plants which have poisonous properties remained

in the listings of pharmacopoeias. This was mainly a
ploy to scare curious would-be herbalists or potential
patients into seeing how dangerous herbs were. The
poisonous plant listings were few and the beneficial
herbs numbering in the hundreds were ignored.

The demise of traditional herbalism brought about a

great loss to mankind in that many natural medicines
which could have otherwise either cured or prevented
disease was lost.

The wonderful benefits of herbs were buried for a time

through the centuries, however; serious modern day

herbalists realized that herbalism must be revived!

Nowadays, information on herbs with their folklore
intact, is beginning to become available to the

general population. There are many good books on

the market which will give you the folklore, much
of which does deal with mystism and astrology. You
can obtain this type of book almost anywhere.

This herbal, however; was created to give back to

mankind, something which has long been unavailable!
This book deals with only the medical aspects of

herbs and gives correct preparation and dosage

information for each herb. Individual herbs, grouped
together on one page, called Plates, are available for
online viewing while you are reading this herbal.

It used to be a crime to practice herbalism, today it

is not. Traditional medicine still opposes herbalism
for the most part, yet the right to practice herbalism
is still a matter of free choice.

Tradition medicine's objection to herbalism is essentially

an objection of taking business from their place of
establishment! Herbalists and the general public which
takes an interest in herbs are bombarded with mind-playing
remarks by traditional medicine such as:

"Oh! Go ahead! Take herbs if you want! As long as

you think it will do you good, it probably will. The
mind can do amazing things!" Sound familiar? These
smooth opposers of herbalism remain in the guise as a
trusted friend. The result is that sometimes you may
actually fall for this line and not receive the natural
benefit to your health!

When all things boil down, yes, traditional medicine

has its place, however; herbalism has its place also!

All too often medical practitioners have not studied

herbalism, so how can they be a competent judge of
what will work in another area of medicine, and what
will not? Medical practitioners who do take the time
to study herbalism, most often never go back to practicing
strictly traditional medicine!

On the other hand, many herbalist have studied medicine.

Your health is YOUR responsibility, and decisions

made about YOUR body are up to YOU!

When in need of medicine, shop around for professional

health care, the same as you would shop around for the

right lawyer, dentist, or mechanic. You are entrusting

your welfare to these types of people, so it is good to
`read the label' before spending your money!
