Anglo–Saxon Medicine and the Nine Herbs Charm in the twenty–first century

Peter Stride

Abstract :

 The Nine Herbs Charm is a collection of nine herbs used by the Anglo–Saxon physicians to treat diseases over a millennium ago. ¹ They are Betony, Chervil, Crab–apple, Fennel, Mayweed, Mugwort, Nettle, Plantain and Watercress. Today the Nine Herbs Charm of medicine would pass under the radar for nearly all modern practitioners of evidence based medicine. However modern research shows some of these remedies have beneficial effects. The traditional use and the latest evidence in a search, utilising Google Scholar and Cinahl, of the benefits particularly as antibiotics and anti–cancer medications of the nine Anglo–Saxon herbs is presented.
