Overview
Since the dawn of time, people have used plants as remedies, to both positive and deadly effect. These herbal treatments have become enshrined in folklore, in old wives' tales and in the curious names we have given local species. Many have also found their way into modern medicine cabinets ā but not always in the form you would expect.
This book imagines a physick garden of healing plants that have been used across the globe by different generations. But were Italian Renaissance women dicing with death when theyĀ dropped belladonna in their eyes?Ā Can comfrey really be used to heal broken bones?Ā And can St Johnās Wort scare away more than bad spirits?Ā
Taking you around the body, from the brain to the bowels, The Physick GardenĀ introduces 80 plants with curious medicinal pasts.Ā With striking illustrations and lively tales,Ā this bookĀ will show thatsometimes there is method in the madness.
