This lovely plant has a gentle citrus aroma and is found around our local area, it is a shrub with strong green leaves and a has clusters of white flowers. Indigenous Australians would chew on the leaves which are full of vitamins and minerals as well as antibacterial p...roperties, the leaves would also be ground into a paste and applied to sores and other minor wounds. Lemon Myrtle is the highest known source of plant citral a fragrant liquid with anti inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it is also high in antioxidants as well as magnesium, calcium, vitamin E and lutein. You can add the powder to cooking (great on fish or sprinkled on salad or rice or soup. The leaves are used as tea, we have it in many teas including our Immune Tea or on its own.

20.01.2022 Are you eating enough antioxidants? Why are they important? Antioxidants are important because they help protect cells from damage due to oxidative stress, this stress can lead to dis-ease in the body. Antioxidants prevent or slow damage to our cells. Some of these include Beta carotene - gives carrots their orange colour ... Anthocyanins - found in blueberries, gives them their purple colour. Phenolics - found in broccoli Polyphenols - found in walnuts Catechins - found in green tea Selenium - Brazil nuts, cottage cheese, mushrooms, fish, turkey Vitamin C - kiwi fruit, guava, broccoli, pineapple, strawberries and many more. Vitamin E - foods high in this are wheat germ, sunflower seeds, almonds, avocado Make sure you are including these in your daily diet See more

17.01.2022 Lovely de stress herbal cream recipe Our Medical Herbalist Tanya makes up custom herbal creams to suit the individual, please ask in store

17.01.2022 These three herbs are great to combine when you suffer from acid reflux or inflammation in the gut.... Licorice Root has been used by herbalists to treat ulcers both digestive and duodenal as well as mouth ulcers, licorice has a soothing and healing effect on mucous membranes, it also is one of the best herbs to support the adrenal glands during times of stress. It has a sweet taste 150 times more than sugar however it does not spike blood sugar levels it actually supports bl...ood sugar levels. Marshmallow root has also been used traditionally for inflammation in the gut and bowel, it also has a soothing effect on mucus membranes and reducing acid, great for sore throats and coughs as well. Meadowsweet is an old traditional herb often used for its anti-inflammatory and antacid actions, great for soothing reflux and ulcers, meadowsweet contains salicylates (like aspirin) so is useful for relieving headaches and is often used for arthritis. Please ask us to mix this blend up if you would like to try it See more

17.01.2022 The next herb on our list is Dandelion. This common weed is found in most people’s backyards. Dandelion is rich in vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, C & D, zinc, magnesium and iron. The root is traditionally used for the liver and digestive system , it supports bile flow which then helps stimulate digestive enzymes including lipase which helps to break down fatty acids. It is known as a bitter which stimulates the liver, great to drink before or after meals.... You can get the roasted dandelion granules to drink as a coffee alternative also. Dandelion leaves have been used for their natural diuretic effects, traditionally used to relieve bloating as well as a general kidney tonic, the leaves are also used on salads. Both the root and the leaves are used as teas or in supplement form. We have them both available in blends or on their own #HerbalMedicineWeek See more

16.01.2022 Our last herb for the week is.... The beautiful Passionflower Passiflora incarnata is native to South America, the leaves and flowers are used medicinally.
