Alfred Vogel's life spanned the twentieth century and he saw many traditional and well established healing methods giving way to pharmaceutical medicine. Using age-old herbal knowledge and experience, gleaned not only from European folk medicine and medical herbalism but also from his time spent among aboriginal tribes around the world, he developed modern natural remedies for many complaints. It is this philosophy and wisdom that is captured in the pages of his best known book, The Nature Doctor. For those who seek to live their lives respecting nature, the environment and those around them, The Nature Doctor is the bible of holistic health-care.
