Nicholas Culpeper (1616 – 1654) was an English botanist, herbalist, physician and astrologer.  His The English Physician (1652, later Complete Herbal, 1653) is a source of pharmaceutical and herbal lore of the time.  Culpeper's translations and approach to using herbals have had an extensive impact on medicine in early North American colonies, and even modern medications.  Culpeper was one of the first to translate from Latin documents discussing medicinal plants found in the Americas. His Herbal was held in such esteem that species he described were introduced into the New World from England. Culpeper described the medical use of the foxglove, the botanical precursor to digitalis, used to treat heart conditions. His influence is demonstrated by the existence of a chain of "Culpeper" herb and spice shops in Canada, North America and beyond, and by the continued popularity of his remedies among New Age and alternative holistic medicine practitioners.
