A HERBALIST'S VIEW

Caroline Wheeler, a member of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine), has contributed a regular article for White Admiral since issue 52. These 22 articles have each concentrated on one particular plant, usually one of our native wild flowers, giving her view, as a herbalist, of its properties. More often than not this includes some unusual facts that you might not find in your usual wild flower books.

On this page you will find a quick way of accessing each of Caroline's articles as links to each of them are arranged below in alphabetical order, with some common names in smaller print. Click on any flower to open the page in a new browser window. For more information visit the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy website at www.phytotherapists.org/
