I research plant use, and indigenous medicine, especially related to Ireland. Irish indigenous medicine was influenced by Greek medicine between the 14- 16th centuries as the European herbals were transcribed into Irish for use in Irish medical schools during this period. After the collapse of the Gaelic order in the early 17th century some of this knowledge seems to have blended with the Gaelic oral tradition, remnants of which we still have today.

Our research takes a look at American and Australian plants, how they were used there, how they came to Europe and how they are used now.
