Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botanical Materia Medica and Pharmacology: Drugs Considered From a Botanical, Pharmaceutical, Physiological, Therapeutical and Toxicological Standpoint The only excuse I can offer to the medical profession for the arrangement and compilation of the information contained in this little volume, which comprises the principal practical points of over one hundred of our most useful vegetable drugs, and Which instruction, the most of it, may be found scattered throughout other text books is, that we might have in condensed form these important and practical points of drug knowledge, which must be of great value alike to the student and the practitioner. I have long felt the Want of a reference book containing the information which I have gathered for this little work. While delivering two courses of lectures in The Chicago Homoeopathic Medical College, upon the general subject of Botany, Pharmacology and the Fundamental Principles of 'drugs, the students repeatedly requested me to arrange the subject matter of my lectures into a form so that they could have them for practical reference.

Download or read book America s Botanico Medical Movements written by Michael A Flannery and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-02-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a fascinating lost episode of American pharmacological history! A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book! The first comprehensive study of the American botanical movement, this fascinating volume recounts the rise and fall of nineteenth-century herbal medicine, the emergence of a second wave of interest arising from the counter-culture of the 1960s, and the recent herbal renaissance in the United States. In the 1840s the American medical establishment was under attack. Its opponents in the botanico-medical movement claimed that herbs and other natural cures were more effective and considerably safer than conventional medicine. They were right. Conventional medicine at the time consisted of ”heroic” doses of mercury and antimony, supplemented by Spanish fly and croton oil, with copious bloodletting as a treatment recommended for everything from mania to miscarriage. By contrast, many of the herbal cures espoused by the new wave of medicine were helpful or at least not actively poisonous. Unfortunately, the botanico-medical movement harbored its share of quacks as well. The history recorded in America's Botanico--Medical Movements includes useless or dangerous treatments as well as petty politics of the worst kind: schisms, public denunciations, physical brawls (with weapons up to and including small cannons), and vicious invective worthy of Hunter Thompson. The favored treatments and pharmacopias of Thomsonians, Neo-Thomsonians, physio-medicalists, and eclectic practitioners are all discussed in detail. In addition to its fascinating narrative, America's Botanico--Medical Movements offers hard-to-find source documents, including: a catalog of nineteenth-century medicinal plants the constitutions of several medical societies explaining their doctrines a libelous editorial attacking members of one of the schismatic groups patented formulas for fever medicines, emetics, enema preparations, and many other cures advertisements listing vegetable medicines for sale America's Botanico-Medical Movements provides a scholarly yet entertaining view of the rise and fall of a typically American medical movement. Pharmacists, historians, physicians, and herbalists will find instructive parallels between the nineteenth-century conflicts and the present-day battles between alternative medicine and the medical establishment. This fascinating book represents nearly 50 years of scholarship on the subject and offers the only comprehensive look at medical botany in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botanic Drugs: Their Materia Medica, Pharmacology and Therapeutics Chinese physicians credit so many remedial agents that a work of forty volumes is devoted to their description and an outline of their uses. Dr. George Cheever Shattuck, in his work "A Synopsis of Medical Treatment," gives what might be called the Pharmacopeia of the Massachusetts General Hospital; and it comprises twenty-five pages, including therein mention of but twenty-four agents derived from botanic sources. There are nineteen countries with well-based pharmacopeias, and they recognize five hundred and fifty botanic drugs. There are seventy-eight botanic drugs recognized in sixteen of these national standards, which covers the important list in world-wide commerce. Two hundred and thirty botanic drugs are recognized in but one or two pharmacopeias, twenty-nine of these being found only in the United States Pharmacopeia. Among these latter are: Bloodroot, cottonseed oil, oil of pimento, oil of chenopodium, sabal, stillingia, yerba santa, crampbark, leptandra, calendula, berberis, pereira, sassafras, and sumach. We attach importance to most of these; but so does Mexico to her native drugs, Japan to many that are esteemed there, and India to certain tropical species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West, however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor of "scientific medicine." But the benefits of medicinal plants are being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the World Health Organization responded to increased interest in medicinal plants by convening a series of international consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of issues—scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural, cultural—focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary health care and global health care reform.
Download or read book De materia medica written by Pedanius Dioscorides Of Anazarbus and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dies ist die erste moderne englische Übersetzung von Dioscorides' monumentalem Werk De materia medica, das er im 1. Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung schrieb. Sie stützt sich auf den altgriechischen Text, den Max Wellmann 1906-1914 redigierte. Die medizinischen Stoffe, deren Herkunft, Zubereitung und Gebrauch beschrieben sind, schließen mehr als 600 Pflanzen ein, 136 Tiere und tierische Produkte und über 130 Minerale. Die Identifizierung der Pflanzen beruht auf den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Forschung zur griechisch-römischen Botanik. Bereits in der 2. Auflage hat die Autorin drei neue Register hinzugefügt: Pflanzen: Griechisch-Englisch, Tiere: Griechisch-Englisch und Minerale: Griechisch-Englisch, die gemeinsam mit den ursprünglichen Registern von beiden Sprachen aus einen leichteren Zugang zum Text bieten. Das Buch wendet sich an Klassische Philologen, an Historiker der Medizin und der Naturwissenschaften, an Ethnobotaniker und andere Anthropologen und an Forschungs-Pharmakologen, die in alten und volkstümlichen medizinischen Praktiken nach neuen Chemotherapien suchen. This is the first modern English translation of Dioscorides’ monumental De materia medica, written in the first century of our era. It is based on the Greek text established by Max Wellmann in 1906-1914. The medicinal materials of which the sources, preparations, and uses are described include more than 600 plants, 136 animals and animal products, and over 130 minerals. The identification of plants is based on the most recent scholarship on ancient Graeco-Roman botany. In this third edition, as in the second, the author has added three indexes: Plants and Plant Products: Greek-English, Animals and Animal Products: Greek-English, Minerals and Mineral Products: Greek-English that together with the original indexes now offer easy access to the text from either language. The book will be of interest to classical philologists, to historians of medicine and of science, to ethnobotanists and other anthropologists, and to research pharmacologists who explore ancient and folk medical practices in the search of new chemotherapies.

Download or read book Pristina Medicamenta written by Jerry Stannard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerry Stannard assembled a legendary collection of materials on the history of botany from Homer to Linnaeus, and his mastery of the field was acknowledged as incomparable. However, his work was sadly cut short by his death, and so did not result in the ultimate synthesis he envisioned; the present volume, and its companion, Herbs and Herbalism in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, bring together his important output in articles and studies. In this selection of papers on pharmacy and medical botany, from the classical period to 1500, Stannard combined philological expertise with the scientific perspective of modern pharmacology to measure the descriptive accuracy and therapeutic efficacy of Materia Medica from Hippocrates to the Renaissance. His sources included not only the obvious technical treatises but also works of literature and the traditions of folklore especially in Italy. Three studies of the scholastic botany of Albertus Magnus form the centrepiece of the collection, and the detailed indexes cover both common and scientific names of plants.
