Dilston Physic Garden’s pharmacognosist and neuroscientist bring to light the important plant medicines that are shown by scientific research to lower anxiety and insomnia. Plant medicine offers a natural alternative and many plant medicines have comparable efficacy to conventional pharmaceutical but carry fewer side-effects.
Engage with the plant’s folklore, traditional use and how the brain uses their bioactive compounds to induce calm and sleep. Explore the valuable place medicinal plants have in the history of human health and medicine, and contribute to your understanding of plant medicine for the mind.
Enjoy the plants on a guided walk and their aromatics oils, medicinal teas and calming soporific snacks.
