MHS members’ event
Our speaker tonight is Toni Mount who has a fascinating website where she tells us “I study, teach and write about history. I bring history alive with my books, courses and talks, based on over thirty years of personal and academic research”. Tonight Toni will tell us about the history of natural remedies up to modern times.

Throughout history people have found natural remedies to cure their ills. Sometimes the treatments were sensible but many others were weird and unsuccessful. Surprisingly some ancient remedies are even now being found to effectively treat our most challenging diseases whilst others are the basis for our most common cures. All these treatments would be found on the Apothecary’s shelves or even now grown in our gardens and hedgerows.

Competition - A vase of spring flower (£10 voucher to the winner).
