Illustrated Phytotherapy, Vols. 1 and 2 by Thomas Deschauer
These are two delightful books written by a little-known nature-curist and herbalist who practiced in Maywood, Illinois, from the mid
1930s to the end of WWII. I know nothing more about him, but I presume he was one of the German charismatic healers, like Lust,
Ehret and Mausert, that immigrated to the USA between the wars. There are over 300 illustrations
Mausert's Formulas (1932) by OTTO MAUSERT, ND
Useful Wild Plants of the United States and Canada by Charles Francis Saunders.
Ginseng and Other Medicinal Plants by A.R. Harding
Written in 1909 and 1912, and taken from the final revision of 1936, this was THE book on Ginseng and Golden Seal cultivation for
many decades.
The Cascara Tree in British Columbia by John Davidson.
A 1942 British Columbian Govt. publication discusses how to and not to harvest Cascara Sagrada, how to coppice and cultivate the
native bush, and then offers an even-handed method for regulating wildcrafting. A good model for dealing with current overpicking.Thomsonian Medicine - classic texts
The Life and Medical Discoveries of Samuel Thomson by John Uri Lloyd - 1909
This review includes Thomson's autobiography, the transcripts of the trial of Dr. Frost, the Thomsonian Materia Medica, and
correspondence of involved parties...enough to give one a detailed picture of the importance of the movement and the harshness of its
suppression, deriving out of Federalist, class and Anti-Masonic politics.
A GUIDE TO HEALTH (1848) By Benjamin Colby. Perhaps the best text by any Thomsonian practitioner.Ethnobotany and Traditional Plant Uses - classic texts
DESERT PLANTS AND PEOPLE by Sam Hicks (9/03)
(Acrobat File) 1.4 M, 105 Pages, 89 black and white photographs, bookmarked, 1966
Hicks was a Cavalryman, rancher and tracker, who worked in the last decades of his life as the outfitter, ranch manager and friend of
Erle Stanley Gardner in that author's many excursions into Baja California and Sonora. Hicks learned traditional curandismo and
country ways from Mexican and Mission Indians...traditions already then fading. Published too soon (or too late), by a long defunct
regional publisher, written by a "layman", it is a remarkable little book about plants and methods little discussed, in a region often
ignored. There is also a long excerpt by a friend from Alpine, Texas, W. D. Smithers, discussing similar experiences with healing herbs
and the curandismo of the Big Bend area. The book has puzzled many, as the plants are only identified by photographs and obscure
local names - I have added the scientific names (no small task!)
