Folklore in the Field - MEDICAL HERBALISM

August 11, 2025

Mark Norman is in conversation with medical herbalist Jenny Carden, who practices as The Dartmoor Herbalist.


In an interview recorded live in Jenny's workshop in the courtyard of the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton, Devon, Jenny discusses her work and the differences between a medical herbalist legally dispensing herbal blends and other forms of herbalism, both current and historic.
