Ruth Mannion-Daniels BSc Hons Biol, BSc Phyt MNIMH |

Within the Georgian period 1714-1830 great changes took place, yet herbs were used to save lives throughout that time in very different circumstances. The herbal secrets of the ladies’ stillroom medicines, cosmetics and preserves in the early years will be opened in the perfect setting.
Ruth, a specialist in the work of naval surgeons at the end of the period, will reveal which herbs were essential to the work of naval surgeons at the
Battle of Trafalgar as they worked to try to save limbs and lives.
An understanding of the treatments will be given alongside practical experience making authentic recipes from household books and herbals. A fragrant day is promised with distilled aromatic waters, herb sugars, dried herbs and gum resins amongst the ingredients of recipes for everyday problems and serious illnesses alike.
This is one in a series of workshops - further
