Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the prevalent medical practices of the early 19th century, advocating for the use of botanical remedies instead of the then-common mineral poisons. The author, Samuel Thomson, was a self-taught herbalist who developed a system of medicine based on the belief that all diseases are caused by an imbalance of heat and cold in the body. Thomson's system, known as Thomsonianism, gained widespread popularity in the United States, particularly among those who were dissatisfied with the often harmful treatments of the day. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Thomsonian medicine, including its principles, practices, and the author's own experiences using it to treat a wide range of illnesses. Thomson argues that his system is safe, effective, and accessible to all, and he provides detailed instructions on how to prepare and administer his herbal remedies. The author's passionate belief in the power of botanical medicine shines through on every page, and he provides compelling evidence to support his claims. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of alternative medicine, or for those seeking a natural approach to health and healing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260254702_0
