Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years with knowledge passed on from generation to generation. In both world wars, valerian root was used to calm the nerves of citizens during bombings and garlic used by communities to fight respiratory infections or clean wounds. Many modern medicines we know today are derived from plant compounds. For example, aspirin was discovered from willow tree bark in the 1800s, and more recently, psilocybin from mushrooms is currently being researched in trials for treatment-resistant depression. Join Kat Green, registered medical herbalist, on how to incorporate benefits of medicinal plants in your life over the seasons – and make your own products to heal, protect and nourish.
