196: Chinese Medicinal Herb Garden in Bristol

In this last episode of our short series about the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, Ivonne explores the Chinese Medicinal Herb Garden. She picks up valuable knowledge and insights along the way. This garden has the largest collection of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in Europe.  The herbs are arranged according to their traditional use. What does tea do in the human body? How about that Japanese knotweed in a container? Which plants calm the mind or help blood to move? How can we use herbs to tackle the problem of drug resistance?  As always, you can find more information and links in the shownote.  Remember to always consult a qualified doctor and/or other reliable sources before using herbs as a medicine.  The same goes for using western drugs, of course.
