💧 The maths doesn’t lie...

54c/litre for bottled water vs. just 5c/litre with a Zazen filter. That’s a saving that adds up FAST when you’re a family or household going through litres a day.

But it’s not just about the dollars. Zazen’s filtered, alkaline water also means:

🌿 Better hydration - smaller water clusters are more easily absorbed by your cells
🌿 Balanced pH - supports your body’s natural buffering systems
🌿 Reduced chlorine, heavy metals & contaminants - cleaner water, better taste
🌿 Zero plastic bottles piling up in landfill (or your recycling bin!)

Save your wallet. Save your health. Save the planet.

One simple swap, three big wins.

Available online at Herb & Spice with free shipping for new filtration units.

Zinc: the mineral you know for so much more than you'd think. ❤️‍🩹

You've probably seen me talk about zinc before - for immune support, skin healing, thyroid function, mood and brain health. It's one of those quiet all-rounders. But there's a role for zinc that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: heart health.

New research is highlighting how zinc helps protect the heart by calming inflammation and defending cells against oxidative stress. The heart works hard around the clock, which makes it especially vulnerable to this kind of cellular damage, and adequate zinc status may be one simple, food-first way to support long-term cardiovascular resilience.

Feel like you need some extra support? Check out what the research has to say and how you can include some more zinc into your diet.

Two workshops, twelve beautiful women, and more herbal magic than I can put into words. 🌿✨

These workshops are honestly one of my favourite things I get to do - watching people discover the power of plants, get their hands dirty, and leave with a bag full of remedies they made themselves. There is nothing quite like it.

And this is what natural health looks like in real life - messy, fun, delicious-smelling, and genuinely empowering! I am so proud of every single one of you. Watching you mix, pour, smell, taste, and create, and then walk out the door with a full bag of handmade remedies is genuinely one of the highlights of my job.

If you missed out this time, don't worry - I'll be announcing more workshop dates very soon for a very special collaboration focused on women's health.

Omega 3 Content in the Foods you love🐟🌱

Following on from my post last week on why Omega 3's matter, let's talk about where to actually get them!

Regardless of how you eat, there are great ways to get your Omega 3's in from both animal and plant-based sources.

🐟 Animal-based sources (EPA & DHA):
+ Salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, anchovies
+ Trout, tuna
+ Fish oil / cod liver oil
+ Omega-3 enriched eggs

🌱 Plant-based sources (Mostly ALA):
+ Flaxseed & flaxseed oil
+ Chia seeds
+ Walnuts
+ H**p seeds
+ Edamame & soybeans / tofu

Note: The body only converts a small amount of ALA into the usable forms EPA and DHA, so plant-only eaters often benefit from an algae-based DHA/EPA supplement.

How much do we actually need? To help prevent illness, these numbers reflect the minimum daily intake:

Adults (women): 430mg/day combined EPA+DHA
Adults (men): 610mg/day combined EPA+DHA
General heart health target: 250–500mg/day EPA+DHA (Heart Foundation)
Kids (4–12 years): roughly 55–500mg/day depending on age, increasing as they grow
Simplest rule of thumb: 2–3 serves of oily fish per week covers most adults' needs

What a day could look like:

🍳 Breakfast: Omega-3 enriched eggs + a tablespoon of ground flaxseed stirred into porridge or yoghurt
🥪 Lunch: Tinned salmon or sardines on wholegrain toast with avocado
🥜 Snack: A small handful of walnuts or a chia pudding
🍽️ Dinner: Grilled salmon or mackerel with greens, or a tofu/edamame stir-fry with h**p seeds sprinkled on top

Small, consistent swaps across the day add up and allow you to reap the health benefits.

Why Omega 3's deserve a place on your plate every day🐟🌱

Omega 3's are essential fats, meaning our bodies can't make them, so they have to come from food. They play a role in heart health, brain function and mood, joint comfort, eye health and skin nourishment.

But here's the catch - most of us are also eating plenty of Omega 6 (found in vegetable oils, processed foods, and some grains), and Omega 3 and Omega 6 compete for the same pathways in the body.

Omega 6 tends to support a more pro-inflammatory response, while Omega 3 supports a balanced, calming one. So the ratio between the two matters just as much as how much Omega 3 you're getting on its own.

Our ancestors ate these fats in something closer to a 1:1 to 4:1 ratio of Omega-6:Omega 3. Our modern diets often sit closer to 15:1 or higher which is why boosting your Omega 3 intake isn't just a "nice to have," it's about supporting optimal health.
