	   Herbalism and medicine, also known as alchemy, remained
	   as one until the seventeenth century.  The seventeenth
	   century brought about a change when it became a crime
	   to practice alchemy.

	   Mankind still needed treatment for illnesses so medicine
	   alone began to be practiced.  This was accomplished by
	   ignoring traditional herbalism with its lore sometimes
	   steeped in mysticism and concentrating on medicine alone.

	   The new books produced from this time on dealt with
	   either medicine or botany.  The books on botany dealt
	   only with the physical descriptions and classifications
	   of herbs.  All the medical books ignored the medicinal
	   properties of plants, and plant lore.

	   Before this schism occurred an herbal had been the
	   combination of the medicinal properties of herbs,
	   traditional plant lore, as well as their botanical
	   classification.

	   This previous tradition of combining herbalism with
	   medicine had been used from the time of the Saxons
	   down to the time of Culpeper the herbalist.

	   Nicholas Culpeper, published the `Physical Directory'
	   in 1649, which drew down on him a folly of furious
	   verbal attacks from the College of Physicians.  It was
	   from that time forward the gap between herbalism and
	   medicine truly began.

	   Only plants which have poisonous properties remained
	   in the listings of pharmacopoeias.  This was mainly a
	   ploy to scare curious would-be herbalists or potential
	   patients into seeing how dangerous herbs were.  The
	   poisonous plant listings were few and the beneficial
	   herbs numbering in the hundreds were ignored.

	   The demise of traditional herbalism brought about a
	   great loss to mankind in that many natural medicines
	   which could have otherwise either cured or prevented
	   disease was lost.

	   The wonderful benefits of herbs were buried for a time
	   through the centuries, however; serious modern day
	   herbalists realized that herbalism must be revived!

	   Nowadays, information on herbs with their folklore
	   intact, is beginning to become available to the
	   general population.  There are many good books on
	   the market which will give you the folklore, much
	   of which does deal with mystism and astrology.  You
	   can obtain this type of book almost anywhere.

	   This herbal, however; was created to give back to
	   mankind, something which has long been unavailable!
	   This book deals with only the medical aspects of
	   herbs and gives correct preparation and dosage
	   information for each herb.  Individual herbs, grouped
	   together on one page, called Plates, are available for
	   online viewing while you are reading this herbal.

	   It used to be a crime to practice herbalism, today it
	   is not.  Traditional medicine still opposes herbalism
	   for the most part, yet the right to practice herbalism
	   is still a matter of free choice.

	   Tradition medicine's objection to herbalism is essentially
	   an objection of taking business from their place of
	   establishment!  Herbalists and the general public which
	   takes an interest in herbs are bombarded with mind-playing
	   remarks by traditional medicine such as:

	   "Oh!  Go ahead!  Take herbs if you want!  As long as
	   you think it will do you good, it probably will.  The
	   mind can do amazing things!"  Sound familiar?  These
	   smooth opposers of herbalism remain in the guise as a
	   trusted friend.  The result is that sometimes you may
	   actually fall for this line and not receive the natural
	   benefit to your health!

	   When all things boil down, yes, traditional medicine
	   has its place, however; herbalism has its place also!

	   All too often medical practitioners have not studied
	   herbalism, so how can they be a competent judge of
	   what will work in another area of medicine, and what
	   will not?  Medical practitioners who do take the time
	   to study herbalism, most often never go back to practicing
	   strictly traditional medicine!

	   On the other hand, many herbalist have studied medicine.

	   Your health is YOUR responsibility, and decisions
	   made about YOUR body are up to YOU!

	  When in need of medicine, shop around for  professional
	  health care, the same as you would shop around for the
	  right lawyer, dentist, or mechanic.  You are entrusting
	  your welfare to these types of people, so it is good to
	  `read the label' before spending your money!

	gripe and constipation after it produces its purgative
	effect, it should be combined with other carminative herbs
	for best and most comfortable results.  The fresh juice
	can be used directly from the leaf to help heal wounds,
	burns, sunburn, wrinkles, insect bites, minor cuts, skin
	irritations, and scratches.  A tea made from the juice is
	a good wash for the eyes and wounds.

	treat inflamed boils and other sores.  The leaf pulp is
	also used to cure ringworm.

	(Aloe perryi) naturalized on the island of Socotra near

	considered to be less effective.

	(Aloe sapnaria) naturalized in South Africa is used for
	ringworm.

	(Aloe tenuior) naturalized in South Africa is used in
	decoction form for expelling tapeworm.
