Seamous O’Caellaigh Presents: Medieval Medicinal Plants, 18+YRS

Modern minds look at plants and see pretty flowers and possibly a seasoning for their next dinner. A Pre-Modern mind saw treatments for pustules, pestilence, and pain. Explore treatments, medical texts, and the diagnostic techniques of Tudor England, and see that plants from the garden were not just another pretty flower.

Come for the presentation, and leave with a self-made salve.

Seamus O’Caellaigh is the author of Pustules, Pestilence, and Pain: Tudor Treatments and Ailments of Henry VIII.

Books will be available for sale at the event.
