Maurice Mességué
Maurice Mességué (14 December 1921 – 16 June 2017) was a French herbalist and author of several best-selling books on herbal medicine and cooking with herbs.[1] In his autobiography he claims to have treated, among others, Winston Churchill, Chancellor Adenauer of Germany, and the future Pope John XXIII.
He was born in Colayrac-Saint-Cirq (Lot-et-Garonne).
In 1971, he was elected the Mayor of the town of Fleurance.
Mességué practices a form of herbalism passed down through his family. Some of the practices involve, among other things, soaking the patient's feets and hands in a strong decoction of locally gathered herbs.
