The use of flowers, past and present, in healing body and mind. Why do we take flowers to funerals? What is it about flowers that makes every culture picture them in paradise?
From Cadfael to Caroline: herbal medicine, past and present
Cadfael the medieval monk had many herbs in his dispensary. How much has changed in a thousand years? Is Caroline still using the same herbs? Some history, some botany, and a lot of groans as we think about the practice of medicine in the eleventh century.
