NATURE'S MEDICINES by RICHARD LUCAS 1968

First published in Great Britain 1968. No other dates. The folklore, romance and value of herbal remedies by Richard Lucas with a foreword by Harry Benjamin, M.D.

In essence, Nature's Medicines is a practical book for use by the individual and in the home. Herbs have been used since the beginning of time for medicinal purposes, and scientific research is now proving that the plant kingdom contains an abundance of valuable healing properties.
Here you will discover the sacred plants of the Egyptians, the Incas, the Tibetans, the Aztecs, the Chinese, and many other nations of olden days. Here are the facts about how a jungle arrow-poison from the Amazon has become one of hte leading modern anaesthetics.
Covering a vast expanse of herbal lore - including that of the Orient, the American Indians, the ancient Greeks and Romans, the medieval physicians and alchemists, and the New World frontiersmen - as well as reporting on the latest herbal discoveries of modern science - this book is a 'must' for anyone who is interested in herbs and herbal medicines.
As Dr Harry benjamin writes in his foreword:
'THE SCIENTIFIC DATA CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK WILL NOT ONLY BE OF VALUE TO THE LAY READER, BUT ALSO TO THE PRACTISING PHYSICIAN AND TO THE DRUGGIST.'
