Hi David, do you know if the Thomsonians and Eclectics did practice in Germany or western Europe as well? If so, who would be the most known Eclectic /Thomsonian in Germany / Europe? I did not come across this information so far. I am even unsure if there has been a tradition of making herbal formulas (tinctures) in Germany at all. Do you know? The most important names in German herbal history seem to be Hildegard von Bingen, Paracelsus, Pfarrer Kneip and Rudolf Steiner, as far as I know. Would you give me a hint on other important herbal personalities in Germany / Europe, please? Thank you.

There is no evidence that the Eclectic or Physiomedical traditions were taught or practiced in Germany or any other non-English speaking country in Europe. Yes, tinctures were made in Germany. We will cover the history of European Herbal Medicine next class in January.
