What's your favourite garden bush?

Mine is raspberry, and it's a popular one for birds too...I am never as quick as them plucking the best berries!
But did you know that raspberry has also medicinal properties?
It's a styptic and astringent herb, meaning it can help with bleeding issues, such as heavy me**es. It's been also traditionally used to prepare for labour, because of its tonic action on the pelvis and uterus.

Have you ever tried a raspberry leaf tea?

What's growing in your garden??

Mine is full of lemon balm (Melissa officinal is)
The botanical name of this plant refers to its sacred association with bees for ancient Greeks, Druids and Celts (Melissa means bee in greek), and it flowers at a time when bees are most active.
Helpful for those who feel burned out, it's a gentle relaxant and tonic for the nervous system. It is also supporting digestive function, especially when depression or anxiety make your stomach feel uncomfortably full and sluggish. It strengthens the heart and blood circulation and topically is a very good antiviral for herpes flares.
I use the infused oil for making a lip balm for cold sores, or enjoy it as an infusion.
A lot of its active constituents are volatile oils, and you can typically recognise it by rubbing your fingers on a leaf and smell a subtle lemony scent.
Needs to be dried slowly so the aroma doesn't get lost in the process, leaving you with a less potent herb.

What's growing in your garden?

I am growing chamomile.
A gentle bitter and antispasmodic, useful for all digestive issues, but also a nervine and relaxant , helps with calming and soothing the mind, finding a good night of sleep. You can apply to inflamed and itchy eyes and it helps coping with spring allergies, due to anti allergic and immunomodulating polysaccharides

Brew one heaped teaspoon to a cup, infused for 15 minutes covered with a lid. Drink 3-4 cups a day.
