A Brief History of the Oleander Plantby Tony M. Isaacs In the Bible, the oleander plant is referred to as "the desert rose". Perhaps the name given this remarkable plant was no coincidence. Those of you who have read Dan Brown's entertaining combination of fact and fiction, "The Davinci Code", or who otherwise know a bit about pagan and early Christian religion will know that the rose is one of the most powerful of all religious symbols in pagan and early Christian religion and literature. It stands quite literally for nothing less than the feminine half of God, or the Goddess as that entity was called. It was also a symbol for very powerful healing. Medicinal use of the oleander plant
dates back at least 3500 years. Historical records show that the Mesopotamians
in the 15th century BC believed in the healing properties of oleander. The
Babylonians used a mixture of oleander and licorice to treat hangovers. Roman
soldiers also regularly took an oleander extract for hangovers. Pliny, the Elder
of ancient Greece, wrote about the appearance and properties of oleander. Arab
physicians first used oleander as a cancer treatment in the 8th century AD. Tony Isaacs Additional Background Information: an excerpt from "History of the Oleander in America... By Way of Galveston": The first Oleanders came to
subtropical Galveston in 1841. Joseph Osterman, a prominent merchant, brought
them aboard his sailing ship from Jamaica to his wife and to his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Isadore Dyer. Mrs. Dyer found them easy to cultivate and gave them to her
friends and neighbors. The familiar double pink variety that she grew has been
named for her. (Picture on right) Soon these new plants were growing throughout
the city. To read part 2 of the series "The Father of Oleander Soup" click here Next "Success Against Cancer and AIDS in South Africa For the best in health information, subscribe to The Silver Bulletin Newsletter
