📖 Culpeper's Complete Herbal. Over 400 Herbs and Their Uses

First published over 350 years ago, The Complete Herbal by physician, herbalist, and astrologer Nicholas Culpeper remains one of the most comprehensive listings of herbs and their uses in existence. In this illustrated edition, over 400 herbs are described in detail, along with their 'government and virtues', remedies, and cautions. Although much of the medical advice must be taken with a pinch of salt, the engaging tone, enthusiasm, and expertise of the author are irresistible and highly entertaining.
