Join us for an exciting lecture that will explore botany’s place in medical history, as well as its standing in medicine today. Alfred Ernest Schuyler, PhD, Curator Emeritus of Botany, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, will explore "the state of the art" of botany, herbal, and alternative medicines in the United States during the Revolutionary War. He will describe how these “botanicals” and herbal remedies were a common feature in the arsenal of the late 18th-century physician.
Providing a contemporary perspective will be Ludovic Rassat, President and CEO of Boiron, USA, one of the largest manufacturers of homeopathic products in the world. Mr. Rassat will discuss the renewed and increasing interest in homeopathic and herbal remedies.
