Early American And Eclectic - Herbal Remedies

Eclectic medicine was populist medical movement in America during the 1840s with a philosophy of alignment with nature opposed to the techniques of bleeding, chemical purging and the use of mercury compounds common among the "conventional" doctors of that time. The Eclectics used many principles of Samuel Thomson's family herbal medication, and botanical remedies adopted from Native Americans. The movement peaked in the 1880s and 1890s, with the last Eclectic Medical school closing in Cincinnati in 1939. ^Wikipedia
