Maurice Mességué

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maurice Mességué (14 December 1921 – 16 June 2017) was a French herbalist and author of several books on herbal medicine and cooking with herbs.[1] In his autobiography, he claims to have treated 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 feet and hands in a strong concoction of locally gathered herbs.
