Asian Remedies is a multimedia project directed by leading artists, which seeks to explore and celebrate living traditions of Asian Medicines found in different generations of Asians and those with Asian heritage living in the UK. We are collecting and recording recipes and techniques for keeping well, as well as remedies for ill health: nourishing food and home remedies for all the life stages, or treatments and therapy for pain and sickness. Individual or community stories are being captured on film, in sound recording, arts installations and in book form. Many contributions will first be seen on this website as the project progresses.
Please join in by telling us your views through our contact page. Both this site and the project will evolve according to the growing range of contributions and feedback that we get from you.
The Asian Remedies project is run in association with The UCL Centre for the History of Medicine and is funded by a grant from the Wellcome Trust.
