Such a beautiful day spent with lovely folk. Thank you for your curiosity and eagerness to bring plant medicine into your homes. May you feel empowered to make safe and effective herbal medicines of the season ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ

Thank you so much to The College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy for asking me to present a case at their Spring conference in London last Saturday ๐ŸŒฟ

A chamomile - Matricaria chamomilla - tea infusion used as a nasal rinse over 3 months eliminated Stage 3 nasal polyps and the need for polypectomy, bringing relief and healing to my patient and his partner as his breathing and sleep improved and his airways cleared. Thank you to them for their consent in sharing the case and their belief in the power of herbal medicine ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ

The CPP conference was a wonderful day immersed in the power of herbal teas and the company of inspirational like minded folk. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ

If you have been to the herb garden at Higher Nurture you will know that my Dad has been a huge influence and help to me as a gardener.

From my first terraced house in Leeds when I was 19, my Dad has worked tirelessly to help me create a welcoming green space to catch a moment of sunshine in amongst the birdsong.

Although we didnโ€™t always agree on his love of tidy bare soil and my more relaxed approach to wild edges, he has been an incredible help in bringing plans to life and looking after the garden here at Higher Nurture.

Iโ€™ve learned how to be a grower by his side and the value of hard work and determination. I will be eternally grateful for his wisdom, good humour and generosity.

Spending time in the garden now allowing the quiet pottering and the gentle energies of the plants and birdsong surround me is helping to hold me in grief. I feel very lucky to have had my Dad as a guide and friend, and this space to feel close to him now he has gone.

Thank you so much, Dad. You are much missed ###
