The New Zealand Family Herb Doctor is a comprehensive and detailed guide to cures for common ailments and diseases. First published in 1891, herbalist James Neil's fascinating work covers treatments for a wide range of conditions, including many skin problems, colds and catarrh, digestive disorders, headaches, and sprains. Suggested sources for the preparation of the remedies and recipes include herbs, roots, bark, seeds, extracts, and essential oils. When used in conjunction with a qualified health professional, the treatments in this book will provide an invaluable source of information.

JAMES NEIL, a self-taught herbalist, opened his first botanical dispensary in New Zealand in 1876. Moving briefly to the United States in 1881, he undertook conventional studies at university and gained professional qualifications in medicine and surgery. On returning to New Zealand he opened three further highly successful herbal dispensaries. His overriding ambition in life was to abolish disease and suffering.
