Culpeper's Complete Herbal: Illustrated and Annotated Edition

Description:

For over 360 years, this historic and definitive guide to herbal remedies written by 17th-century English botanist and physician Nicholas Culpeper has been the book to turn to for anyone interested in using herbs. It provides advice on gathering, drying and conserving herbs to get the most out of them. This beautifully illustrated edition, edited and with new commentary by an acclaimed US herbalist and bestselling author, combines the charm and information of Culpeper s original 17th-century text with up-to-date, modern, practical usage. It includes details about where each herb can be found, its flowering time, astrology and medicinal benefits.


Review

Culpeper's Herbal, frequently re-released in varying forms, has been the standard and most popular Western guide to herbs for hundreds of years. This edition, edited by author, photographer, and herbalist Foster, includes content from several previous versions and is based heavily on the 1653 second edition. Each plant is described by including its common and modern scientific names, where it grows, its "government and virtues," modern uses, and cautions. While the modern uses and cautions are written from Foster's current-day perspective, Culpeper's voice is very present in the bulk of the text and readers will likely appreciate the political and social commentary that is part of his writing. The juxtaposition of voices is successful and serves to illustrate that a writer's time and place always inform his or her work, no matter the subject. Color botanical illustrations are primarily taken from the 1824 expanded edition but there are also many from other sources, which are noted. This updated and beautifully designed guide is likely to be popular where there is interest. --Booklist

Ever so pleased to find it was possible to get a copy of a book written by Culpeper, one of my heroes from a bygone age. Probably round about 500 years ago.

Excellent book

K. · 15 January 2024

This book clearly explains the medicinal and general characteristics of a wide variety of herbs, plants, and flowers. I highly recomment it if you're looking for more natural remedies and medecine, although be aware that the English used by the original author sometimes requires a certain degree of interpretation (if English is not your first language you may need some explanations for popular sayings).The quality of this Edition is excellent and the colors are vivid, the drawings and images are easy to understand. The package arrived on time and in great conditions.

Best tool for all naturopaths !

I am an amateur herbalist and while taking a course I learned about the writing of Nicholas Culpepper. His original work was published in 1652 . This edition takes the words of Nicholas Culpepper and brings them to a modern understanding of how to identify and use each of the listed herbs. The pictures are beautifully descriptive and the combination of old English and modern helps take the reader to a time long before themselves! Very easy to understand and fun to read !
