Abstract
The Eclectics, a group of American physicians who practiced from the mid-1800s through the 1930s, primarily used botanical medicines to treat their patients. This article discusses the history of the Eclectics as well as the cause of their demise and presents several clinical cases for which botanicals were used based on Eclectic information on their usefulness. Sweet sumach (Rhus aromatica), Western anemone (Pulsatilla occidentalis), desert anemone (P. tuberosa), rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium), and echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia) are covered.
