The most famous and enduring herbal in the English language. Culpeper, a physician, astrologer, and radical, democratized medical knowledge by providing a comprehensive guide to English herbs written in the vernacular. Uniquely, he associates each herb with a planet and a zodiac sign, arguing that medical treatment must be guided by astrological sympathy and antipathy. It is a fundamental text for both traditional herbalism and applied astrology.
