Medicine

In Thailand today, traditional folk medicine competes successfully with Western hospital-based medicine and represents a popular approach to healing even in modern cities such as Bangkok. This book offers a broad-brush history of medicine in Thailand from the 3rd millennium BC to the present.

The fourth volume in The Library of Esoterica explores the historic roots of plants in myth and magickal practices. Through essays, interviews, and more than 400 images-from ancient Egyptian stonework to Victorian botanical art, to contemporary works celebrating nature - Plant Magick chronicles the symbiotic relationship between plants and people.
