Enquiring about new group study visits

Complementary Therapies seminar day
Plant materials and chemicals derived from them have long been used to treat human and animal illness, both in conventional and complementary medicine systems. During this Complementary Therapies seminar day, Kew scientists outline their research into a range of plants containing biologically active compounds and describe their work on the authentication of Chinese medicinal herbs.
