Natural Remedies

As I get older I find myself turning more and more to natural remedies. I am getting more suspicious of the chemicals in make up and skin creams and I am mortified by the way many cosmetic companies test their products on animals. When I learned about a new show starting next year on the BBC called "Grow Your Own Drugs" I was delighted. Hopefully Australia's ABC will pick it up and I will be able to watch it here.

The show is about how common plants can help with everyday ailments. James Wong shares the teachings of his grandmother in Malaysia about the health giving properties of plants. Wong is an ethno-botanist and gardener and will share his knowledge of plants to make natural remedies.

If you would like to know more details about "Grow Your Own Drugs" go to the Press Association site and read the full article. I think it sounds great.
