Summary

For centuries humankind has harnessed the ancient wisdom of botanical healing, with plants used for a multitude of remedies that nurture both body and soul. A curious history of plants that heal, 'The Apothecary's Garden' explores the science and mythology of over 60 species - from soothing hops, chamomile and valerian to immunity-boosting turmeric, meadowsweet and turkey tail mushroom. Featuring botanical illustrations from the archives at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and weird and wonderful remedies and images from medical archives, this is a fascinating exploration of nature's pharmacy.
