1/2 – Flowers

James Wong reveals the historical use of marigolds, violas and elderflowers as ways to help relieve the symptoms of everyday ailments such as sore throats, acne and eczema. Sufferers of each of these, who are keen to find a natural solution to their health problems, try out James’s remedies.

Another great show and so inspiring!  I don’t have acne, eczema or a sore throat at the moment but I used to have really bad eczema on my hands when I was a kid.  I remember having to have them bandaged up and also that I kept picking at it and the blisters would burst and then my hands would be raw 🙁  I could really have used some natural remedies then.  No idea what caused it and then it just went away.

That guy’s acne really cleared up too that was impressive.
