I AM currently doing some research on folk medicine.

May I invite your readers to write to me or call 01706-878340 if they have any old remedies, of whatever nature, or know of remedies used by grandparents etc. The more unusual the better.

I would also be pleased to hear from anyone who has access to historical documents relating to folk medicine or any knowledge of treatments from past times for farm and domestic animals.
