In my mind probably one of the most famous and well loved plants used in human history. Chamomile (in this case German Chamomile -
Matricaria chamomilla) is a herb that seemingly does everything.

From ancient and medieval times, Chamomile has been used from anything from stomach issues like digestive pain, cramping, cooling fevers and general malaise (perfect for kids) as well as menstrual pain and discomfort. It was also used as a poultice for swellings, a wash and for those wealthy enough to have this option...in baths!

Modern day healers use this herb in all of these ways and probably more, I've even used it in wound healing creams for its anti microbial effect, probably something ancient and medieval people before they knew what bacteria and microbes were. It really is an incredible herb that I need to remind myself how versatile it is.

Last night one of my kids were feeling suddenly unwell, fever and sore tummy and Chamomile tea was the only thing he were interested in! So it's always a relief to have these options in the house and makes them feel like they are part of the solution or healing.

Together with celloid mineral salts and trusty Chamomile tea, we managed to allay the worst of the symptoms, allowing "mostly" decent sleep for them (not so much for me!).

If you'd like to know more or discuss how herbs can help you please comment or get in touch. I'm always happy to talk herbs and how they can still be extremely relevant (I'd say indispensable)in our modern world.

These types of messages are exactly why I do what I do (and other practioners undoubtedly). This was from the same person literally the day after I made a new mix, which had run empty temporarily. This is how powerful natural medicines are and how quickly they can work to support the body

Nothing is more rewarding than bringing relief to someone suffering, and I do like sharing these very real unfiltered messages from ordinary people. I can't imagine a day where I won't get so much happiness out of someone's health and general life being improved with herbal and natural medicines.

If you know someone or you yourself suffering from a health condition that isn't improving or appears to be no hope in sight, please get in touch, my goal is to spread the word to as many people as possibly how amazing herbs can be.

Elder is an amazing tree and both leaf and Berry are used. Its been used by Native Americans for thousands of years as well as in Europe for its immune boosting properties. This is a photo I took while in France on an amazing herb farm, so cool to see the medicines I dispense in the flesh instead of just liquid in amber bottles.

In this case I have stocked up on Elderberry for the cold and flu season, a herb which excels during acute immune flares like colds or flu's. Another perk is it is one of the few tincture that tastes good! So perfect for kids as well. It supports the body for both viral and bacterial infections, anti inflammatory and highly nutritious as well as being an excellent anti oxidant.

My kids have brought home standard school/daycare sickness in the last few days so I've been dosing them at the first sniffle I heard as well as myself to keep our immunity as strong as possible. One of my favourite parts of natural holistic medicine, we don't need to wait until something turns chronic, we can act at the first sign of sickness or imbalance. I believe sickness isn't optional, it's a part of evolution and nature but I think suffering doesn't have to be inevitable.

If you'd like to learn more please get in touch, thr more empowerment i can share the better for our community.

Love the colour change in water for a herbal tea. You can literally see the goodness of the plant filling the water which we can directly put into our bodies. Some compounds include polyphenols, terpenes, alkaloids, and glycosides. Each herb is unique in constituents and youll notice in teas and tinctures the difference in colour and consistency which I find so cool.

In the tea pictured above we have Yarrow, Elder Flower and Peppermint which makes up an extremely popular YEP tea used by many herbalists around the world. Used to dry up excess fluid, tone mucous membranes, encourage gentle sweating among many other uses. A great blend and tastes pretty good too!

Nearing the end of my week long cold it has honestly knocked me flat, and it's something I see with clients. The body can use a virus to purge, but something I see in clinic is to slow someone down. The type of people who are always busy, often putting other needs before their own and usually the body will give mild symptoms as gentle warning signs. But if you don't listen eventually the body knows how to stop someone in their tracks. So I've seen this sickness as a positive, time to recover slow down and look after myself properly.

As a massive history fan, something that is apparent in medieval times and earlier we were governed by seasons. Winter was a time where not a lot was growing or slowed. Days were shorter so with less work and less sunlight everyone had to slow down and hibernate. We bypass this in modern life and I do think it's important to remember our roots and nourish ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually including true rest periods. Otherwise the body might just sit you down when least convenient!

Please get in touch if you'd like some support for up coming winter, there are many herbs that can boost our immunity.

Although I really love tinctures I thought I need to start spruiking tea a bit more. Tea is a great option for herbal medicine for a few reasons.

One is taste,(it tastes way better than a tincture!) Another I believe is that it creates a sort of ritual where you create your own medicinal experience.

You touch, taste, smell and prepare the medicine yourself. The water changes colour and the steam carries the scent. It's really relaxing and empowering i feel so I'm hoping to put this intention out there.

With the sickness that's going around (including what has hit me pretty hard) I thought now was a good time to get people thinking about prevention and support once already sick.
I make all sorts of tea blends, stress, digestion, immunity etc and love to make up individualised custom blends.

I've been meaning to share images of my healing journey for years and after seeing a client this weekend with skin that reminded me very much of mine, I thought it was time. They are old and not well taken but it will give an idea of what I was dealing with.

My skin 'specialist' told me that we wouldn't find a cure for eczema in our lifetime. And the only option we had was steroid creams and not much else. I was so disgusted by this attitude it inspired me to find answers.

Long story short, these photos show before and after. Most of my lower body from hips down, front to back looked like this. This was during the "healing crisis" where all the years of suppression and steroids were finally allowed to clear as nature intended. I will never forget 6-12 months, the burning, itching bleeding and cracking.

As you can see from the clear photos, there was indeed a solution and one that has held for over 15 years.
If you are suffering like I did, know there are solutions for you. I'd love to hear from you, please feel free to message or email and we can talk.

I love these types of messages from clients! This was literally the day after our appointment. Initially was for a skin condition, but energy crashes and intense sugar cravings were likely causing further imbalances to skin.

It shows just how effective herbs can be, sometimes I've seen it within hours, in this case next day. It's almost unbelieve but I've seen it time and time again but it doesn't stop bringing me joy every time I hear feedback like this and I think it's helpful to share a direct quote from someone seeing changes in under 24 hours.

If you'd like to learn more please get in touch, always happy to talk herbs and healing!

Today i decided instead of battling the never ending Dandelion w**d problem I'd make the most of it. High in vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium this often pesky w**d is a powerhouse.

Best of all, it's free! So they will be a new constant feature in smoothies and salads although be warned they are quite bitter. If you're going to self harvest please ensure you are selecting Taraxacum officinale, there are a couple of look alikes that can catch you out.

Dandelion is an essential in my dispensary so I'm excited to start encorporsting the raw plant form as much as I can.

Recently made a new mix for a client who had extreme urgency and diarrhea for over 12 months which was understandably impacting their quality of life. I received this message this morning and couldn't help but share.

Even though I know herbs and natural medicines are extremely effective I think I'll always get a kick out of results like this no matter how many times I see it. This was a targeted digestive blend taken before meals and the results speak for themselves.

If you or anyone else are struggling with health conditions and you'd like to explore natural options please get in touch!

If you or you know someone struggling with hayfever please get in touch, I'll keep sharing more of these success stories so I can reach more people and spread the word of just how effective plant medicines can be. Reading these always brightens my day!
