Description
Nicholas Culpeper (October 18, 1616 - January 10, 1654) was an English botanist, herbalist, physician, and astrologer. His published books includes The English Physitian (1652), The Complete Herbal (1653), which contains a rich store of pharmaceutical and herbal knowledge, and Astrological Judgement of Diseases from the Decumbiture of the Sick (1655), which is one of the most detailed documents known on the practice of medical astrology. Culpeper believed medicine was a public asset rather than a commercial secret, and the prices physicians charged were too high. A radical for his time, Culpeper attempted to educate the public on good health and condemned the use of harmful practices such as toxic remedies and bloodletting.
