2011 Early Peoples & Plant Cultivation • The real human story goes back to the roots of our time here on the planet when Homo sapiens evolved about 100,000 years ago. • Pastoral peoples moved away from being hunter-gatherers to grazing cattle and cultivating food plants, moving out of Africa between 20,000-7000 years ago. • Archaelogical evidence of the Tassili-n-Ajjer (S. Algeria) of 12,000BC demonstrate the rise of language, partnership society and complex religious ideas. • They brought with them the cult of cattle and the cult of the Great Goddess of Fertility depicted in rock paintings in the late neolithic (between 4,500-2,000).
9.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Tribal Peoples • The Rig Vedas give us our first mention of humans using plants and mushrooms as hallucinogens/ medicine for the soul – the great SOMA (thought to be Psilocybin or Fly Agaric mushroom). • Other Shamanic cultures throughout the world were using plants as medicine following a more oral tradition: the first concepts of Cosmic Consciousness and disease processes to be cured by Shamanic Journeying to other cosmic dimensions. Indian sadhus worship in Shiva temples
10.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Tribal Peoples • Terence McKenna’s book Food of the Gods (1992) Bantam Books, charts humankind’s embrace of plants for food pastorally as well as medicinally for communion with the Cosmos and our place in it with the use of consciousness expanding plants.
11.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Shamanic Practices • Himalayan peoples still practice the ancient rites of Shamanism originated from Mongolia including drumming to facilitate going into trance and using herbs, incense and chanting in healing ceremonies.
12.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Amazonian Shamanism • Unbroken use of hallucinogenic plants for healing ritualistic ceremony can be found in the use of Ayahuasca (Vine of the Soul) (Banisteriopsis caapi & B. inebrians) • Other plants are decocted with it such as Brugmansia sps Angel’s trumpet flowers (Solanaceae) and Psychotria viridis (Rubiaceae). • Richard Schultes’ book Plants of the Gods (1992) Publ Healing Arts Press describes these plants as considered divine gifts to the earliest Indians on earth as their power is due to supernatural forces residing in the plants themselves.
13.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Central American Shamanism • Peyote or Mescal button (Lophophora williamsii) continues to play a major sacramental role among the Native people of Mexico despite these practices being condemned by the Spanish conquerors and local governments.
14.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 The Importance of Herbs in Human Culture (for a more detailed account please see HM1) • As human civilisation developed, so did its medicine • The war-torn lands of Iran and Iraq were originally the cradle of civilisation and were known as Mesopotamia. The area is also known as the Fertile Crescent and is where farming was born. • Here we have the first written records in clay tablet form. Many of these tablets, inscribed over 5000 years ago, relate to the medicines of the day. • In ancient India, medicine was taught mainly through an oral tradition, but they started writing it down in Sanskrit around this time. • The ancient Egyptians also have a long tradition of medicine and a papyrus known as the “Ebers Codex”, written in 1550BC, contained information on plants which are still in use today, not least of which is Garlic, for which it listed 22 uses.
15.

2011 Greek Medicine • Ancient Greeks also made great contributions to medicine and include in their number some of the Great Names in the history of Medicine. Hippocrates, known as “the father of medicine”, lived in the 4th century BC on the island of Kos. • Hippocrates laid the foundations of Arabic medicine used to this day and of Western medicine for the next 2000 years. His methods were often very practically based and there is a recipe recorded for Hippocrates soup, which he used to treat patients, a soup thick with beans and pulses and, of course, onions and garlic. Hippocrates’ Plane Tree in Kos Town said to be alive in his time. .
16.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Greek Medicine • Hippocrates (c 460-390 BC) was intensely interested in the effects of climate and geography and one of his other main therapeutic tools was fasting his patients to reveal suppressed symptoms. • Dioscorides (c AD 40-90) was known as “The Father of Pharmacy” and wrote down the first Materia Medica.
17.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Arabic Medicine • Perhaps the most overlooked contribution in the Western Tradition is that of Arabic medicine. The Arabs took Roman and Greek Medicine, refined it and kept the knowledge throughout the period when Europe was plunged into what is known as ‘The Dark Ages’. • Perhaps the greatest known Arabic physician was Hakim Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna. He lived in the 10th Century AD and his work was mandatory in the study of European medicine right up until the 1600’s. We should remember that Arab physicians documented the circulation of the blood many thousands of years before Harvey ‘rediscovered’ it in the West.
18.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Medieval Medicine onwards • St Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) • Abbess who produced a Materia Medica of over thirty herbs, truly beautiful poetry, music and inspirational visions. • She coined the term viriditas, or “the greening power of God” • Paracelsus (1493-1541) a Swiss physician who is also known as ‘The Father of Scientific Medicine’. He is burned Galen's book and so broke with the conventional medical thought of his day. He also broke with tradition by consulting with folk herbalists, midwives etc. to learn their knowledge and is said to have been a keen observer of nature.
19.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Gerard & Culpeper • The next major work was “The Historie of Plants” by John Gerard in 1597, his key botanical work followed by Gerard’s Herbal • Nicholas Culpeper half a century later. He was very much a man of the common people and outraged the medical establishment of his day by translating the knowledge of the elite, which was written in Latin, to the common English of the day. He followed the Hippocratic notion of humours and also a system of classifying remedies into categories based on Astrology.
20.
© Copyright PCNM
2011 Ayurveda & TCM • Ayurveda means “the knowledge of life”. • Based on the Meditative and oral teachings of the Rishis c.4-2000 BC culminating in the publication of the Rig Veda c 1700-1100BC • Uses the 5 Elements and the 20 Attributes of the Gunas summarised in the 3 doshas of Vata, Pitta, Kapha for constitutional assessment of humans, plants and disease processes. • The Yellow Emperors Handbook c2700-2600 BC was the first medical discursive in print. • One of the first Chinese Herbals in the 5th Century AD was a collection of commentaries on Materia Medica.
21.

2011 • Although there is proof that indigenous Australians have been around for at least 47, 000 years it wasn’t until 1982 that their medicinal practice was studied and documented by the ‘white man’, when the Northern Territory(NT) Department of Health recorded more than 50 different medicinal plants. This became the first published Aboriginal Pharmacopoeia. • All plants were identified then screened for essential oils, minerals, saponins, tannins, triterpenes and steroids • This was published in 1988, and its sequel ‘Traditional Aboriginal Medicine’ detailing many more species was published in 1993 • In 1995 an NT study compared the effectiveness of wound healing by use of the traditional remedy Bauhinia root (Lysiphyllum cunninghamii) and western preparations for the treatment of boils, sores and scabies. • The traditional remedy was found to be as effective as western treatment. Other studies are currently underway. Australian Indigenous Peoples
22.

2011 • Spilanthes is one Australian native plant that is used worldwide in commercial preparations • Over half the world’s supply of the drugs hyoscine and scopolamine come from the Duboisia tree. These are used to treat seasickness. The Aboriginal people use it as an emu and fish poison but also chew it to relieve exhaustion and help them to cope with the harsh desert conditions. It is known as pituri. Spilanthes Duboisia Australian Indigenous Peoples

2011 Herbal Cultivation • Land based plants have some basic requirements: • Sunlight • Water • Minerals and/or Soil • Climate is also crucial: Not too hot Not too cold Herbs in Snow

2011 Herbal Cultivation • Advantages of soil blocks are: • Financial – after the investment of a press, the blocks are ‘free’. • The blocks are sloped inwards so there is an air gap all round – the roots sense this and don’t grow across the gap giving a couple of days grace in potting them on. • Plants are transplanted without root disturbance. • Space is a saved if seeds don’t germinate – just remove and resow the block. • Disadvantages of soil blocks are: • The mix of soil, compost, sand and lime can be tricky to get right. • The soil can dry out quickly if neglected.
