Former Director of Clinical Studies at Oxford University and Honorary Consultant Dermatologist Sue Burge looks back at how plants have been used medicinally over thousands of years, explains how patients might have been treated in the Middle Ages and then describes some of the plants that underpin modern medicines. And throws in a little magic for good measure!
