Have you heard of the hawthorn tree? 🌴

“Hawthorn berry is a herb that strengthens the heart. It can even bring the heart rate back to normality in the case of heart arrhythmia.”- Barbara O’Neil (Sustain Me)

Hawthorn is highly regarded in herbal medicine for cardiovascular support. ❤️‍🩹
It has a rich concentration of antioxidants and flavonoids which helps dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow, and strengthen the heart muscle.
Studies have even shown that hawthorn can be used to lower blood pressure and even manage mild congestive heart failure!

How incredible is nature 😳

Below are some snippets from studies (enjoy the links to these Peer Reviewed and non PR studies are below as well):

🫀 Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Clinical trials suggest hawthorn can improve the hearts ability to pump blood, which reduces symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue in early-stage CHF.

🫀 Blood Pressure: Hawthorn acts as a mild vasodilator, which can help relax and widen blood vessels to lower blood pressure.

🫀 Cholesterol: Research indicates its antioxidant compounds may help reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides.

🫀 Arrhythmias: Specialized extracts are being researched for their potential to help stabilize heart rhythm and prevent irregular heartbeats

I love the fact that carrots are her favourite snack!

From paddock to plate, without ever leaving the property.
Look how clever she is, she knows exactly where the snacks are.
Would you believe it, she’s soo keen that if we are late for milking, doesn’t matter if it’s 5 mins or an hour, she will stand at the gate the ENTIRE TIME (she actually gets there 10mins early most days- how does she know?!) and yell: mmooooooo!!
Which OBVIOUSLY means- “heeeeeeeyyyyy, did u guys forget something ummmm hmm okayyy, oh you’re-nope… umm, just walked straight past me again, mmmmm, ok imma just chill here.. and moo and growl really really loud like a rabid feral animal.. until someone feeds me..” 🐮

Another batch of infused Camembrie’s, Guido and Colby on the go! I absolutely LOVE cheese making, It’s very similar to mycology really..
