Show 69: Herbal Medicine In The Early Christian Era

https://www.spreaker.com/user/13414994/herbal-medicine-in-the-early-christian-e

In this episode, I discuss the fascinating and colorful history of pre-and early Christian Herbal Medicine... from Ancient Egypt to the Ashkenazi Jews, the Greeks and Romans, Monastic Medicine, the Benedictines and development of European herbalism in the Middle Ages.

This is a period of particular interest to me for historical and linguistic reasons--and it will be interesting to see what gardeners/herbalists were doing then, which will join up several of my interests at once. Thanks!

(Oh and by the way: you certainly get a tre-men-dous amount of material researched, written up, and presented each week--I need your time management and organization secrets very soon!)

I hope you enjoy the show... it is basically a synopsis of the first two chapters of my book.  I just hit the highpoints and left out the quotes and details fromt he book... got a bit out of sequence too.  The School at Salerno should have been presented before Monastic Medicine.  And, THANKS!  Time management is one aspect.  Dogged, determined aggregation is the other.
