The Healing Power of Plants
Mankind has exploited the medicinal properties of plants for thousands of years, yet the role of plants in modern medicine is still considered to be peripheral by many people. This talk attempts to put the record straight and to show that plant products are used every day by all of us to relieve pain and suffering, to heal wounds and cure diseases. This is a talk with a very wide appeal and relevance.
Our lecturer is Timothy Walker who was previously Director of the Oxford Botanic Gardens.
And on February 16th at 2.30
