Have you ever sunk your hands into cut and dried sage? I was stunned how soft it was.

Sage is a well used herb to address menopausal symptoms and is thus the star of the show in our menopausal mix - Sage compound.

It occurs to me that its soft pillowy feel is a lovely metaphor for its ability to help menopausal women get a good nights sleep, without the hot flushes.

Hello! I'm Kate, I'm a student Herbal Practitioner working at The Urban Fringe Dispensary. I've got the chance to say a hello to a few of you in the shop over the last 6 week's but I wanted to introduce myself here as I run a lot of the social media.

Happy Equinox!

Herbalism makes it hard not to pay attention to the seasons. So many of the tools we use and the conditions we treat are seasonal.

Today, all around the world, day and night are equal. The plants know it, and it's probably good for us to know it too!

Time to pause perhaps. Reflect on the long days and prep for the shorter ones coming. I think I'll make some more Elderberry & Echinacea Compound...!
