The Complete Herbal and English Physician Enlarged, by Nicholas Culpeper, Part 2

Let's relax with more from this rather questionable 17th century guide to medicinal plants. This time, herbs to rid yourself of fleas, cure gout, eliminate the French pox, and treat pretty much every ailment you can think of through the power of the purgative. Do not recommend! VERY BIG NOTE: As always with these old "medicinal" works, do not follow or rely on anything you hear in this podcast. Many of these herbs are, in fact, very bad for you. This reading is merely to bore and/or amuse, not inform.   And, as always, NO ADS & NO AI. Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener-supported!
