Planetary Therapy - Europe version - The Great Herbal Traditions of the World. DE

Despite regional diversities, the use of medicinal plants in Europe is very rooted in tradition. Each of the great herbalist traditions has developed an original doctrine to account for disease. The European tradition is mainly based on the theory of the "four humors" which reigned until the 17th century. We owe it to Galen (131-201), a native of Pergamum and personal physician to the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. It was by treating the gladiators of his hometown that Galen learned anatomy and the best hemostatic and healing remedies. He wrote hundreds of works and, for more than 1,500 years, his influence on European medicine was considerable. Today, plants are increasingly appreciated and, in some countries, they are used both by conventional medicine and by qualified herbalists.
