Medical Herbal Encyclopedia

Herbalism and medicine, also known as alchemy, remained as one until the seventeenth century. The seventeenth century brought about a change when it became a crime to practice alchemy.Mankind still needed treatment for illnesses so medicine alone began to be practiced. This was accomplished by ignoring traditional herbalism with its lore sometimes steeped in mysticism and concentrating on medicine alone.
The new books produced from this time on dealt with either medicine or botany. The books on botany dealt only with the physical descriptions and classifications of herbs. All the medical books ignored the medicinal properties of plants, and plant lore. Before this schism occurred an herbal had been the combination of the medicinal properties of herbs, traditional plant lore, as well as their botanical classification. This previous tradition of combining herbalism with medicine had been used from the time of the Saxons down to the time of Culpeper the herbalist.
