Download or read book Chewa Medical Botany written by Brian Morris and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 1996 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it rarely receives the attention it deserves from anthropologists, medical herbalism is perhaps the most widespread and most ancient form of therapy. This book describes in detail one such herbalist tradition, that found in southern Malawi. Offering the first comprehensive examination of medical herbalism in Malawi, this study combines anthropological and botanical insights into medical herbalism. The book is divided into two parts: the first outlines the ethnographic context of the herbalist tradition with discussion of Chewa ethnobotany and the local classification of plants; the various categories of medicine that are expressed in the local culture; the nature and scope of folk herbalism, its practitioners and its relation to biomedicine; local conceptions of disease; and beliefs relating to witchcraft and divination. The second part, which incorporates the researches of a Malawian chemist, Dr Jerome Msonthi, contains detailed information on over 500 Malawian plants with notes on their local names, distribution, botanical descriptions and various medicinal uses.

Book excerpt: The three volumes of Bigelow's book each originally appeared in two fascicules, making a total of six fascicules in all. Because sets of hand-colored engravings had already been prepared for Vol. I, fascicule 1, Bigelow used them to complete the earliest copies of that part in order to meet his publication deadlines, adding the color prints as soon as the stone-printing process was perfected. Wolfe declares that "there are two states of the first number in American medical botany, one having hand-colored plates and the other having color printed plates." In addition there are some copies which have a combination of hand-colored and color-printed plates in volume 1, fascicule 1.--J. Norman, 2006.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Medical Botany of North America Botany is the science which treats of the vegetable kingdom. A science so comprehensive, including everything which relates to plants, from the life history of those low organisms on the border line between the animal and the vegetable world to that of the giant oak which endures for centuries, must of necessity be divided for the convenience of students. Accordingly general botany comprises many well-recognized departments one of which, devoted to the history of medicinal plants, is known as medical botany. But medical botany is also a comprehensive science, for the list of plants possessing greater 01 less medicinal activity is long, and the plants are, in many instances, so remote and inaccessible that their study is beset with many difficulties. The obstacles, however, in the way of the student who would acquire a knowledge of the medicinal plants of his own country are neither numerous nor formidable. Especially is this true of the medical botany of North America for though this continent, with its broad extent of territory, varied surface, and extremes of temperature, sup ports an extensive and interesting flora, the number of medicinal species is surprisingly small, and these are so distributed as to be generally accessible.
