This talk gives an introduction to the medieval use of plants in healing, with an overview of medicine during the period followed by an exploration of some commonly used plant medicines. The conditions these could be used to treat - as well as those they couldn't - are also discussed.

I co-devised the Chemicals from Plants Trail at Cambridge University Botanic Garden and published a book on an extended version called "Molecules, Medicine and Mischief", in 2014, which was reprinted in 2019. I am a Bach flower remedy practitioner and in 2018 published my second book, "The Plants of Dr Bach", on the plants used to make the remedies.
