About this ebook
Whilst doctors may possess the ability to write out prescriptions for sick persons, they may not possess that other form of ability which enables them to write readable books. It is therefore all the more refreshing to find both these abilities combined in one individual. A Physician’s Posy seems more in the nature of belles lettres than a treatise on healing the sick. In its pages the reader will encounter no pseudo-scientific jargon nor multi-syllabic words which no one can pronounce, let alone remember.
Dr. Shepherd has written a fascinating history of her chosen plants and includes personal anecdotes that make her book a joy to read.
Dr Dorothy Shepherd
Dr. Dorothy Shepherd (1885-1952) was a British orthodox physician who was raised with homeopathy medicine and converted to homeopathy several years after graduating from conventional medical school. Born in England around 1885, Shepherd grew up in South India, where her father was a missionary. She studied medicine at the Heidelberg University School of Medicine in Germany and graduated from the University of Edinburgh Medical School in Scotland, specializing in midwifery and surgery in women’s diseases. Although Dr. Shepherd was raised with homeopathic medicine, following the completion of her conventional medical training, she began to investigate the medicine of her childhood. She attended the (now defunct) Hering Medical College in Chicago in 1906 and, on her return to England, put her new skills into practice. She established a homoeopathic center in Bramshott in the 1940s and went on to practice in London’s Harley Street. She also devoted many hours providing homeopathic care to the poor in other clinics across London. A member of the London Society for the Abolition of Compulsory Vaccination, Dr. Shepherd became well-known for her service, as well as her support of homeopathy. She is the author of several books on homeopathy, based on her clinical experience: Homoeopathy for the First Aider (1945); Magic of the Minimum Dose: Experiences and Cases (1938); More Magic of the Minimum Dose: Experiences and Cases (1943); A Physician’s Posy (1951); and Homeopathy in Epidemic Diseases (published posthumously, 1967). Dr. Shepherd passed away on November 15, 1952, after 45 years of service to homeopathy.
