Nicholas Culpeper: Apothecary to the Masses
from Fabulous Folklore with Icy · host Icy Sedgwick
Last week, we met William Turner, who revolutionised English herbals in the 16th century by publishing the first one in English. This gave more people access to the herbal knowledge he felt people should have - although it's likely he intended for physicians and apothecaries to use it. This week, we're going to meet Nicholas Culpeper, who took on the medical establishment in the 17th century, and did so using a herbal. Let’s go to meet him in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
