Fruits and vegetables have been used for generations for their therapeutic properties in both domestic and professional practice. Many cures have been claimed from the proper use of such common foods as apples, grapes, onions, garlic, carrots, beans, and cabbage. Vegetarian Medicines by Clarence Meyer (the son of Joseph E. Meyer) contains a variety of recipes traditionally used for coughs, indigestion, wounds, or skin troubles, and for more serious conditions such as obesity, intestinal disorders, liver and gall bladder complaints, insomnia, and nervousness. All of the plants discussed in Vegetarian Medicines have specific healing properties, which help maintain the health of the body or prevent sickness.

Crafts & Hobbies

These old ways were collected from material which appeared in the final years of "The Herbalist Almanac." Just as with clippings you might find tucked in a grandmother's favorite cookbook, there is much to be gained from these popular medicinal and household tips with origins in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The articles and recipes in this collection concern the benefits of herbs, natural ways for dieting and healing, and methods of living that are far less injurious to our health and environment than most modern methods are. They offer enjoyable reading as well as practical help for solutions we may be seeking today. Indexed and illustrated.
