September 2024 Lecture and Morning Tea
'The Healing Power of Plants - Why plant derived treatments are not an alternative, but instead,
The Real Thing'
Mankind has exploited the medicinal properties of plants for thousands of years, yet the role of plants in modern medicine is still considered to be peripheral by many people. This talk attempts to put the record straight and to show that plant products are used every day by all of us to relieve pain and suffering, to heal wounds and cure diseases. This is a talk with a very wide appeal and relevance.
From 1988 to 2014 Timothy Walker was the Director of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden. Botanic gardens are often described as living museums, and garden curators talk about them in the same way as museum curators do. Gardens are often thought of a place where science and art meet on equal terms and Timothy’s lectures investigate this relationship. Since 2014, he has taught Plant Biology at Somerville College Oxford.
The title of the lecture is "The Healing Power of Plants - Why plant derived treatments are not an alternative, but instead, the Real Thing".
This lecture explains the true role of plants in modern medicine.
Our Speaker from The Arts Society (UK) is TIMOTHY WALKER.
