Anne Stobart Part 3 - Herbal Medicine in 17th Century England

Did English peasants comb the woods for herbal remedies? Were physicians in the 1600s aware of the deadly impact of mercury and blood-letting? Anne Stobart gives us a glimpse into the use of herbal remedies as used in households and by apothecaries, physicians and surgeons.

With a PhD from her extensive research into the history of medicine, Anne is the author of Household Medicine in 17th Century England. A teacher of permaculture, she is also the author of The Medicinal Forest Garden Handbook. And as an experienced clinical herbalist, she recently published her newest book, Trees and Shrubs That Heal. Anne's newsletter - Medicinal Tree Woman - is on substack.
