Today’s harvest 🌿 lemon balm & chamomile 🌼, two of the gentlest, most useful herbs you can grow.

Lemon balm for when your nervous system needs a quiet moment. Anxious, wired, can’t switch off, a simple tea before bed works harder than you’d think.

Chamomile for everything from a tense tummy to a restless child. Anti-inflammatory, calming, and genuinely delicious.

Dry them, store them, use them all winter. This is what growing your own medicine actually looks like.

Don’t overthink it.

we need to talk.

Your “Relax” and “Focus” gum claims to deliver 25% of our daily B vitamins per piece. Sounds impressive, right? Here’s the reality: B vitamins are water-soluble. If your body doesn’t need the extra, you’re literally just flushing your money away.

If you eat a balanced diet, you aren’t deficient in B3, B5, or B6 anyway. Even the fine print admits these vitamins only contribute to “normal psychological function”, the bare minimum legal phrasing for “keeping the lights on.”

The bottom line: It’s not a cognitive boost; it’s a baseline your body already hits. This is wellness marketing masquerading as science. Save your money and buy real food instead.

Saturdays 🌿 🧪 ☀️

14/03/2026

I’ve worked really hard to get here. There was once a version of me who dreamt about the day I could spend Saturdays in my clinic mixing up prescriptions.

The past three days I’ve been on a Leaders of the Future course (and won a Leader of the Future award – humble brag).

What it reminded me is that leadership comes in many forms. It doesn’t always have to be loud or forceful.

As someone who leads with empathy, I’m learning that softness isn’t something to hide. It’s my superpower.

What I’m Loving Right Now - Day 2

Today it’s something a little different — cornsilk (yes, that silky stuff you peel away when you husk fresh corn!).

I’ve been drying it gently out of direct sunshine for a couple of weeks, and lately I’ve been drinking it as a simple tea. It has such a light, slightly sweet taste, really soothing and surprisingly comforting.

Why I’m loving cornsilk today:

🍁 Traditionally used to support the urinary tract and kidneys

🍁 Naturally soothing and hydrating

🍁 Gentle, calming, and a lovely everyday herbal tea option

I love how something so often thrown away can turn out to be such a supportive, nourishing plant remedy.

If you’d like to explore more simple, natural ways to support your health, I’d love to work with you one-to-one. You can book a consultation through the link in my bio.
