War time medicinal plants

Home grown medicine

During the war the importation of medicines and drugs was extremely difficult for obvious reasons.
This fantastic war effort booklet contains some real gems ,
some interesting drugs were seen as key to get through the war,
rhubarb , fennel, Valerian, raspberry leaf, marsh mallow. liquorice .
peppermint Parsley. squirting cucumber – I kid you not!!!

and a right moody sounding plant Stramonium

Good old Min of Ag and Fish!

Maybe we should have an incredible ‘War effort medicine plot’
