Culpeper's Color Herbal

As charming as the seventeenth century original, this groundbreaking herbal guide combines Culpeper's fascinating text with up-to-date information and modern full-color illustrations.

It covers almost 400 herbs and plants from Aconite and Agaric to Yarrow and Yucca.

Each entry gives the plant's Latin and common names, details on locating it, its flowering time, astrology, and medicinal virtues.

An inventory of illnesses and cures appears just as it did in 1649-with notes on contemporary usage by an established practitioner.
