  • Middle Ages Health
    People in the middle ages had a surprising knowledge of how the human body worked and many cures were based around plants and herbs which are still used nowadays. Fear and superstition played a large part in medieval medicine. Many people believed that an illness was a punishment from God and a cure would only come about through divine intervention. A patient might seek a cure through prayer or going on pilgrimage, rather than consulting a healer or physician. Imbalance of Humours Theory in Medieval Medicine The Hippocratic theory of the four humours of the body was to characterise medicine during the middle ages. Most doctors believed that illnesses were caused by an imbalance of humours in the body, which had to be restored to bring the patient back to health. This theory came from the teachings of ancient Greeks such as Hippocrates and Galen. Their texts referred to the four humours of the body – blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. These humours were associated with elements of the natural world: Black Bile - earth; Phlegm - water; Blood - air; Yellow bile - fire. It was believed that the four seasons of the year could affect the health of a patient and some physicians used astrology as part of their treatment, believing that the movements of the moon and stars affected when a cure was most effective. Bloodletting and Surgery in the Middle Ages Blood letting was a common cure, which was used for many years after the medieval period. A patient’s vein was cut, or leeches allowed to drink blood from the affected part of the body.

PURPLE CONEFLOWER The Fox used roots to cure stomachaches and quiet (Echinacea angustifolia) convulsions. The Comanche used the tea for sore (E. pallida var. angustifolia) throats, while many tribes squeezed the fresh juice from stems to apply to burns. PALE PURPLE CONEFLOWER The Omaha recognized two kinds of Echinacea, Nuga, (E. pallida) the male and Miga the female, and thus more potent. PURPLE CONEFLOWER Echinacea pallida is, indeed the larger plant, and E. angustifolia the smaller species in their region. The (E. purpurea) northern Cheyenne of Montana combined the PARTS USED- root, leaves, flowers pulverized root of E. pallida with skunk oil and puffball spores for treating boils. The root was boiled with the root of Mertensia laevicaulis to treat smallpox. Some tribes took the stems to sweats and dripped the juice over hot rocks to reduce the intensity. In the 1860's, a German born physician, H.C.F. Meyer, was practicing in Nebraska. He created a mystique around Echinacea (Meyer's blood purifier), by publicizing his offer to allow a rattlesnake to bite him. This is believed to be the origin of the phrase "snake oil salesman". It consisted mainly of Echinacea root, Wormwood and Hops. Dr. Ellingwood, one of the foremost Eclectic physicians, used Echinacea to successfully treat anthrax, a disease of wild and domesticated animals, and more recently in the United States as a source of terrorism. He said “Echinacea retards and prevents gangrene”.

Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Fatehgarh , Farrukhabad, U.P. Abstract- The Doctrine of Signatures is an old tradition or a part of many traditions, that plants (as well as animals and minerals and perhaps even phenomena) have clues or “signatures” in their shapes, forms, actions and things that tell what their purposes are. It proposes the idea that God has given everything in nature its unique healing power and left a clue for us to discover it in the appearance of each plant or substance. The Doctrine of Signatures is a part of that theory which posits that all things in the universe are resonating in a relatively small number of frequencies and that resonate at similar frequencies have deep impact on one another. The basic idea is that every living thing has been blown in same life force or spirit, while its physical form is influenced by a certain form of this universal energy. There are many examples of Doctrine of Signatures based on morphology, astrology, behavioural similarity, smell etc. Which give a sort of general overview to this theory (for example a sliced carrot looks like human eye and it greatly enhances blood flow to and function of eyes; a walnut looks like a little brain and act as brain food etc.).

  • Intuitive Plant Medicine
    Asia Suler One Willow Apothecaries www.onewillowapothecaries.com Intuitive Plant Medicine History + Philosophy Plants have been our medicinal companions since the beginning of time. Whether we were gathering plants for food, fiber, fuel or healing, plants have been at the heart of humanity’s spiritual and physical survival for eons. In many ways, plants are our ancestors; plants themselves are the progenitors of human life. Indigenous people were intimately aware of how strongly our own lives were connected to the plant people. Plants have been the informants of many of our creation stories, myths, ceremonies, rituals and initiation rites. The foundation of any plant medicine practice is the acknowledgement that all plants have a spirit, an innate essence. Like people, each individual plant has its own personality as well as community identity. In many indigenous plant medicine practices it was understood that, to connect with a single plant, is to open the gateway of access to that entire species. In other words, to interact with the spirit of one plant is to interact with the oversoul of an entire community of beings. The Plant Medicine Movement In the past fifty years there has been a deep resurgence of interest in plant medicine. It is clear to see that the plants are speaking with us. The urge to reconnect with the green and growing world arises from a deeper place of seeking ecological healing and wholism. Plant medicine works by calling us to reclaim right relationship—first to ourselves, then to the community of the entire living world. Plants themselves are a gateway, one that has begun to open quite wide in the past several decades.

Consisting of programs from performances at Theatre Memphis between the years 1975 and 2007, the collection provides invaluable information on the operation of community theatre in Memphis. Each program includes the names of the director, cast and crew as well as information on the production. Theatre Memphis was established as the Little Theatre in 1921. For several years plays were performed in a variety of locations in Memphis including Germania Hall and the Nineteenth Century Club. In 1929 the Little Theatre was headquartered at the Pink Palace Museum Playhouse where they would remain until the mid-1970s. When the Pink Palace closed for renovations, the theatrical company opened their own venue on Perkins Extended in East Memphis. Changing their name to Theatre Memphis, productions resumed in 1975 and have continued until the present day. 2 THEATRE MEMPHIS PROGRAMS COLLECTION BOX 1 Folder 1 Items 6 1975-1976 (56th Season) SUNSHINE BOYS by Neil Simon.
