“Bringing herbal tradition, and the healing power of nature to benefit patients.”

A revealing history of modern medicine’s divergence from herbal tradition — and how we can restore the balance. Written by physician-herbalist Dr. Dilis Clare and researcher Tim Morrissey, this evidence-based book challenges the status quo and reclaims herbs as a cornerstone of patient-led care.

REVIEW BY MELANIE LYNCH 

“Dr. Clare begins with a powerful, simple question: “Why did they not teach me about herbal medicines in medical school?”

 Uprooted Medicine is a brilliantly researched deep dive into collaborative medical history. I realise that as a non-medical reader, I have been waiting for this book for a long time. This is not just a standard history text; it offers a fresh and well-researched perspective. 

In partnership with Dr Tim Morrissey, the authors handle the subject with a collaborative and balanced outlook, acknowledging both the advances of modern medicine and the efficacy of traditional approaches. In doing so, they cross unexpected boundaries and link wide historical events in search of answers. They highlight medical advances, medical hubris and traditional medical approaches that genuinely stand the test of time.”
