## Resource

This week, I discuss the Herbal Medicine of Maurice Messegue. Messegue was a French herbalist, who was the most famous herbalist in the world around 1950. He treated kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents, stars of the stage and screen... and the poor of Paris. His remarkable story unfolds a fascinating and nearly lost history of French folk medicine. I believe his unique, family system of herbal medicine has the potential to be the most dramatic addition to western herbalism imaginable.
