Astrological herbalism, Paracelsian medicine
Nicholas Culpeper
1616 – 1654
Nicholas Culpeper was an English botanist, herbalist, and astrologer who systematically paired medicinal plants with planetary correspondences in the tradition of astrological medicine. His Complete Herbal (1653) catalogued hundreds of herbs alongside their astrological signatures and therapeutic uses, making botanical medicine broadly accessible to ordinary people outside the guild-controlled medical establishment. His Astrological Judgement of Diseases (1655) remains one of the most detailed surviving works on early modern medical astrology.
