The debt medicine owes to botany is not commonly appreciated. In
the past, medicine relied almost entirely on plants, and even
today, many western medicines are plant derived. Despite this,
historians have largely neglected the study of domestic medicine,
practised by the ordinary person and passed down through
generations, in favour of 'official medicine'. The History of
Domestic Plant Medicine brings together manuscripts, letters,
diaries, personal oral interviews and other primary evidence to
produce a detailed picture of the medicinal use of native plants in
Britain from 1700 to the present day. Recording for posterity this
neglected aspect of our heritage, it is a valuable contribution to
the study of the folklore of modern Britain and a fascinating piece
of social history.
