Founded by Samuel Thomson (1769-1843), this 19th-century system of alternative medicine was based on herbal treatments designed to regulate the body’s heat through a six-step process of healing. Thomson began his practice as an itinerant healer in 1805, and with the help of hundreds of agents and Friendly Botanic Societies, he sold “rights” to his patented medical system that, by 1830, claimed an estimated 2 million American users. Thomson’s significance lies less with his theory of healing than with his innovative business techniques which presaged several 20th-century practices.
