PRESCRIBER AND CLINICAL REPERTORY OF MEDICINAL HERBS

WHEN THIS BOOK was first published, Health from Herbs Magazine hailed it as '...a landmark as it is unique in being the first Repertory to be published for Herbalists.' To make his work truly international, the author employed botanical, instead of the common or local, names of herbs. For the second edition he added a section entitled 'Synonyms, Common, or Local Names of Herbs', in response to requests from many laymen. This lists the herbs alphabetically and is designed to assist those who are unacquainted with the botanical names.

THE AUTHOR IS a consultant psychologist who has never used any medicaments except herbal ones in the treatment of patients. His interest in this form of therapy was aroused as a result of studying the ways in which gypsies employ herbs for healing, their knowledge being passed from mother to daughter through the generations. This knowledge supplies the groundwork of the book, which is supplemented by Colonel Harper-Shove's own subsequent experience of many other herbs.

PREFACE

OWING to the great difficulty of memorizing the therapeutic action of some three thousand herbs forming the complement of the Herbal Dispensatories in general use, practitioners fall into the habit of prescribing a limited number of favourites which they have found by experience to answer the requirements of the majority of their patients with considerable success. It is believed that many of their failures could have been obviated had they possessed a knowledge of the virtues of other herbs more specifically indicated by the symptoms of the patient.

The standard works on Specific Medication advise the use of one or more remedies for the treatment of a given disease, but it has been found in practice that it is not always possible at the onset, owing to the non-appearance of the " correct" symptoms, to diagnose with accuracy the particular complaint. It is, however, quite easy to recognize the prevailing symptoms at the time, and to proceed forthwith to treat the patient without loss of valuable time awaiting a classification.

The object of this work is to give, under suitable headings, the leading-symptoms demanding a particular herb, or herbs. together with an appendix showing the dosage to be prescribed in each case.

For international reasons the botanical, instead of the common or local, names of herbs have been employed. Every available authority on Botanic Medicine has been consulted in the compilation of this work, and the author hopes that. in submitting it for publication, it may prove of value to his colleagues of the healing profession. He desires to express his gratitude and indebtedness to all who have contributed to the production of this book, particularly Messrs. Potter & Clarke, the well known manufacturing chemists, for their kind encouragement and the use of their valuable library for reference.

F. HARPER-SHOVE.20th May, 1938.

NOTES ON PRESCRIBING AND DOSAGE

The remedies prescribed in this work are entirely of vegetable origin, prepared from the roots, bark, leaves or seeds of the herbs in the form of:—

Infusions, made by grinding or bruising the roots, leaves, etc., and pouring boiling or cold water, according to the particular herb, over the drug, allowing it to stand for fifteen to twenty minutes with an occasional stir and then straining off the clear liquid. The usual quantity of herb is 1 oz. to 1 pint of water. The dose varies from one tablespoonful to a wineglass.

Fluid Extracts are the most popular preparations, being prepared in a concentrated fluid form of one fluid ounce of the crude drug to one fluid ounce of spirit.

Tinctures are spirituous preparations generally made in the strength of 1 or 2 oz. of the drug to 1 pint of pure or diluted spirits of wine.

Homoeopathic Mother Tinctures are prepared, amongst other methods, by expressing the juice of the freshly-gathered plants, or parts thereof, and mixing the juice so obtained with an equal quantity of absolute alcohol. The mixture is then succussed, allowed to stand for some time, and finally filtered. Five to twenty minims, according to the active principles present, are added to four ounces of water, and teaspoonful doses administered.

Dosage. It must be clearly understood that the "doses" mentioned in the following pages are intended merely for general guidance, and represent the average range of quantities which is considered suitable for adults when administered by the mouth. The maximum doses mentioned may. as a rule, be repeated three or four times in twenty-four hours.
