➰BAI SHAO➰
White Peony (the WOMANS herb)
Peony is considered to have strong blood-toning, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and antispasmodic properties.
In Chinese Herbal Medicine Bai Shao is given for excessive menstrual bleeding, bleeding between periods, premenstrual syndrome, and the absence of periods, as well as gynaecological disorders, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, types of female infertility and hormonal imbalances 🌿
Delicate and sweet its a perfect choice for anyone who finds black or green tea to acidic and has even greater health benefits than green tea because of the higher concentration of antioxidant polyphenols ☕️☕️
Grind it into capsules or soak as boil it for tea 👌

➰GINKGO➰
This weeks Ginkgo harvest.
Picked Friday, dried Sat & Sun, encapsulated today and in your bellies tomorrow!
Ginkgo’s main use is for improving your memory and your mood 🌿
Memory- 600mg can significantly improve your cognitive performance in under an hour!
Mood- due to the way in which ginkgo improves circulation it has also been documented to lift the mood in older patients. ADHD clients benefit from taking an annual course each year 🌿
Overall this plant has a particularly beautiful synergy with Gotu Kola and Rosemary which both also affect mood and memory. So don’t forget to remind yourself to do a course sometime soon!!

➰JAMU➰
•Tumeric Root •Ginger Root •Lemongrass •Lemon Myrtle •Clove
Indonesian inspired Hot Toddy 🍵
If you haven't had Jamu juice in Indonesia yet, it's a delightful Local herbal drink that has been used traditionally as a natural remedy to improve liver detoxification, reduce inflammation, improve immunity and fight off bacteria.
Given its summer and we are about to hit silly season it’s a good time to make a little immune tonic!! Put in the blender and cover in enough vodka or brandy so that it will easily blend.
Leave to stand for 2-4 weeks, strain and add to a hot honey and lime 🌿
Enjoy!

➰WILD YAM➰
Used for centuries by the Native Americans to treat a variety of ailments, this herb was highly regarded in providing relief from colic (especially in babies), and lessening the pain of rheumatism.

Wild Yam root is perhaps most famous for its ability to support women in the health of their reproductive systems. With powerful antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, Wild Yam is often prescribed by herbalists to relieve menstrual cramps and chronic pelvic pain.
Helping the uterus to work more efficiently during me**es, this uterine support allows for proper function of the uterus whilst working to prevent cramping and spasms.

In saying that women with hormone-dependent conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and cancers of the breast, ovaries, or uterus should be careful in the use of wild yam due to its possible estrogenic effects, while pregnant women should also not take wild yam because it may stimulate the uterus to contract, possibly causing a miscarriage.

I only very rarely take this herb if I’ve had an extremely bad day of cramping and it eases my pelvic muscles helping me to relax 🌿💆🏻‍♀️

➰SURAMA➰
Meet my mentors very first pet!
Surama has been beautifully preserved for over 20’years and sits above my head and watches over me whilst I work.
Since moving to the Northern Rivers I have a new found love and appreciation for these extremely symbolic, sexy, spiritual creatures! Whether it be in my bathroom, on my balcony or on the side of the road, it’s always a confronting yet surreal experience.
All hail the serpent 🐍🐍

➰SIBERIAN GINSENG ➰
Rumour has it that Siberian Ginseng was the first ever herb to have the term “Adaptogen” applied to it.
Adaptogens are a unique group of herbal ingredients which help your body adjust to stressful circumstances, ranging from extreme heat or cold to infections or trauma.
Classed as a tonic herb and a mild stimulant, Siberian Ginseng has the ability to increase your work capacity after a single dose, increasing both immediate and long term energy.

Besides protecting the body from stress, Siberian Ginseng also increases oxygenation of the cells, therefore increasing endurance, alertness and even visual acuity 👁👁
This increased oxygenation leads to better circulation – especially to the brain helping to restore memory, concentration and mental clarity 🧠

Initially used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it was mixed into wine and combined with other herbs to be used as a tonic for fatigue, arthritis and pain in the lower back.
Are you taking your GINSENG???👆👆

➰SPILATHES➰
aka ‘Toothache Plant’
Its flowers and leaves have a pungent taste and when touched it is accompanied by tingling sensation and numbness.
Spilanthes used commonly as a folk remedy, for toothache, rheumatic and fever.
Spilanthes is kind of like the herbal version of pop rock candies but amplified, like high voltage static electricity dancing around your mouth accompanied by a rush of saliva like waterfall rapids 🌾

Party tricks aside, Spilanthes is a worthy medicinal herb, and the constituent responsible for the tingling effect, spilanthol, is also found in Echinacea. If you’ve ever chewed on fresh Echinacea root or seeds, or taken a dropper full of high quality tincture then you will be familiar with the mouth tingling sensation that this constituent creates🌾

Similar to Echinacea, Spilanthes can be used for its immune boosting and antimicrobial properties. The spilanthol contained in the herb creates a tingling and eventually a numbing sensation and this attribute can be applied effectively as a remedy for mouth inflammation and tooth pain. This is where the herb gets it’s very popular name “Toothache Plant”

➰TANSY➰
Locally grown in the Northern Rivers Tansy is best known to treat fevers, feverish colds, and jaundice. In the Apothecary we use it on clients to resolve liver Qi status and cramps. I find it so beautiful with its button like yellow flowers and have decorated my room with its dried stems 🌾🌾 🌿

➰DAVIDSON PLUM➰
These are the very colourful very potent seeds of the native Davidson Plum 🍑
Extremely high in Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin E, Davidson Plum is great for youthful and glowing skin!
The content of Lutein is also as high as that of an Avocado making it the highest fruit source of antioxidants 🥑🥑
I’ve made a delicious jam out of these ones to have on my toast in the mornings 🌿

➰ANTI PARASITIC ➰
•Pomegranate skin •Clove •Myrrh •Spilanthes
This formula was made to treat parasitic diseases. Parasites can live on or in a host and feed off of you. Human parasites include protozoa, flatworms, roundworms and ectoparasites such as ticks, fleas, lice, and mites. They cause diseases such as malaria, trichomoniasis and Leishmaniasis 🌿
I’ve ground and capsulated this formula for a few clients already!
Enjoy your weekend 💚🌿💪

➰CAPSULES➰
How do you take your herbs???
Do you take it as an herbal tea? Maybe a tincture? Perhaps your suppose to stuff it into a capsule to swallow?!?!

TEAS ☕️ are best suited to herbs that taste good. You prepare them in the way you would prepare an ordinary cup of tea. I often pre-mix my herbs and use my snap ball infuser. Make sure if you are using an infuser instead of a tea bag that you use cut herbs and not powders. Powders leave a weird goo at the bottom of your cup and no one wants that 😳

TINCTURES 🌡are basically concentrated teas. You steep the herbs in alcohol (usually cheap vodka) or you can make it child/pet safe using vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar. Tinctures are great make-ahead preparations. You can store them in amber bottles and have them on hand when you need them! (Very handy)

CAPSULES 💊 are a great option for MYO supplements, but they can be used for acute therapies as well. I’ve made a few to have on hand when I’m out and about and I get a cramps. There’s an art to making herbal capsules, I’ve settled into a method that works for me, I try and time myself on every 50 that I make and see if I can beat my last time, I’ve got it down to 4min per 50 caps 👊👊
Capsules are my go to for taking my herbs they have fast results, can be customized for exactly what you need and best of all have a long shelf life 💊💊
How do you take your herbbbss???!!!
