A fascinating picture of how `natural' remedies survive into
contemporary use. Many domestic plant remedies were used within
living memory in rural East Anglia - and indeed survive today, as
shown in this volume. Informants have been for the most part
elderly country people, and in almost every instance, this
information has never been written down, but has been preserved
orally from one generation to the next. A surprisingly large number
of these native plant remedies has come to light, and an analysis
of them brings out many interesting points, including the apparent
accuracy of oral testimony, when compared with written information
on the subject of plant remedies. Another perhaps surprising point
to emerge is that new plant remedies are still being developed,
some involving the use of widely grown food vegetables.
