🌅 Breakfast like a boss! I fuelled my morning with a delicious slice of homemade wholemeal sourdough (thanks to for the lesson) topped with delicious Lions Mane from Moral Mushrooms🦁🍄✨⁣
⁣
Paired it with organic house roast, packed with polyphenols for that perfect pick-me-up, and boosted my wellness by adding True Collagen and MCT oil (both available in the Apothecary)☕️💪⁣
⁣
Starting the day strong so it unfolds beautifully! Today is going to be good! 🙌

Happy Valentine’s Day! ⁣
⁣
I’m more of an anatomical heart kinda gal rather than the usual hearts and chocolates shenanigans. But, did you know that herbal medicine can be an awesome way to support heart health? ⁣
⁣
1. Rose: Not just a romantic flower, rose supports the emotional heart. One sniff will quickly tell you Rose can help reduce stress and soothe - making it a perfect addition for those suffering from grief or a loss of love. A beautiful nervine tonic it cools and calms agitation. ⁣
⁣
2. Motherwort: This little powerhouse also known as the “mother’s herb,” for its ability to support stressed and worn out mamas. It’s fantastic for calming the heart and mind, helps ease anxiety and reduces pesky palpitations. ⁣
⁣
3. Hawthorn: The ultimate heart hero! Hawthorn, a beautiful cardiac tonic, has been used for centuries to support cardiovascular health, regulate blood pressure and improve circulation. Nice 👍 ⁣
⁣
Whether you’re enjoying a calming tea or incorporating these herbs into your wellness routine, remember that self-love is the best love❤️🌿⁣
⁣
And don’t forget to always consult a herbalist before incorporating new herbs into your routine - especially if you’re taking medication or might be pregnant. ⁣

🌿✨ Discover Mistletoe! ✨🌿⁣
⁣
Mistletoe (Viscum album) isn’t just for kissing under; it’s dried leafy twigs provide us with a powerful herb which has a rich history in herbal medicine, supported by emerging research on its health benefits. In fact, its name comes from the Celtic word meaning “all heal” 🌱💚⁣
⁣
🌼 **Supports Cardiovascular Health:** Mistletoe has been studied for its potential to help regulate blood pressure and improve circulation. Its compounds may promote vascular health, making it a valuable ally for cardiovascular wellness.⁣
⁣
🧘‍♀️ **Promotes Relaxation and Cortisol Balance:** Research suggests that mistletoe can help reduce stress and anxiety levels by promoting relaxation. It may also assist in balancing cortisol, the hormone associated with stress response, helping to mitigate its effects on the body and improve overall mental well-being.⁣
⁣
💪 **Boosts Immunity:** Rich in antioxidants, mistletoe is believed to enhance immune function, helping to strengthen the body’s defenses against illness and infection.⁣
⁣
✨ **Disclaimer:** This post is for educational purposes only. Always consult with a professional herbalist or healthcare provider before introducing new herbs into your routine, especially if you are taking medication or are pregnant. ⁣
⁣
Embrace the scientific benefits of mistletoe this season and elevate your wellness with the wonders of herbal medicine! 🌿✨⁣

🌨️❄️ Good morning, snow lovers! Woke up to a winter wonderland outside my window, and it’s still coming down like confetti! 🎉 ⁣
⁣
Unfortunately, the snowy magic means I won’t be able to make it into the apothecary this morning. If the skies clear up, I’ll aim for an afternoon adventure, but I’ll keep you posted at lunchtime! Stay warm and cozy! ☕️✨ ⁣
⁣

🌿✨ Howdy! Just a quick heads up: the apothecary will be closed this Friday and Saturday as I dive into some herbal magic at the annual NIMH Herbal Conference! 🎉⁣
⁣
Continuing education is verrrrrry important to me as a medical herbalist—because let’s be honest, herbalism is a never-ending adventure of discovery! 🌱💚⁣
⁣
We’ll be back in action on Tuesday though, and no doubt I’ll be buzzing with inspiration after this two-day herbal geek out. See you then x 🌟💫

⭐️Boosting Your Skin Health: **Zinc**⁣⭐️⁣
⁣
Zinc plays a vital role in skin health, particularly in wound healing and reducing inflammation. It can help combat acne and other skin irritations. 🙌⭐️⁣
⁣
The richest food sources of zinc include meat, fish, and seafood, with oysters containing more zinc per serving than any other food. But if you’re not a fan, incorporating a zinc supplement can aid in maintaining clear and healthy skin. 🦪🎏🐠⁣
⁣
Vegetarians and vegans are more likely to need a zinc supplement. This is because grains and legumes, major staples of the meat-free diet, contain high levels of phytate which reduces zinc absorption. Research suggests that these types of diets increase zinc needs by up to 50%.⁣
⁣
Not sure which one to go for - check out the link in our bio and learn more about why we love zinc. ♥️🌿

Boosting Your Skin Health: ⁣
**Vitamin C**⁣ ⁣
⁣
Known for its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis. It helps protect the skin from damage caused by UV exposure and pollution while aiding in the healing process. Taking Vitamin C supplements can enhance skin brightness and reduce the appearance of dark spots.🍊⁣
⁣
But not all Vitamin C is created equal - which is why we prefer Advanced Vitamin C from as it contains PureWay-C. It has been shown in clinical trials and research studies to be absorbed and retained by the body more quickly than other forms of vitamin C. In fact it has a 233% higher retention rate than other forms. If you’d like to know more about it click the link in our bio >>> ❤️🌿
