Grow Your Own Drugs Series 1 Fruit

Grow Your Own Drugs Series 1 Fruit

James Wong introduces himself as a Scientist and Gardener and In Grow Your Own Drugs he wants to make us all think differently about plants and the natural remedies that he makes from them.

The Ethnobotanist trained at Kew Gardens and is no flower power hippie but after studying the use of plants he wants to share his recipes to help treat minor ailments, cheaply at home with what is growing in your back garden.

Traditional recipes and beauty treatments for coughs, colds and acne are growing around us and can be used to take control of our own health treatments.

James is not against conventional medicine but its empowering, as well as fun, but not too geeky to make your own remedies!
