Here is the first instalment of photos from Saturday’s Wellbeing Gathering… 💫
We began with a gentle moment to come together - to settle, soften and release any tension we’d brought with us 🤍
From there, we were treated to a truly wonderful and interactive herbal medicine talk with the amazing Lesley Dawson 🌿✨
So… what is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine uses plants and plant parts to support the body back to balance and health. Gentle yet powerful, it works beautifully on its own or alongside conventional medicine - treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Remedies can be made from roots, flowers, leaves, bark, fungi or even seaweed.. and are often taken as teas, tinctures, creams or capsules.
It can support both acute and chronic conditions, and is especially helpful for those longer-term, stubborn issues such as skin conditions, digestive concerns, fatigue, poor sleep, hormone balance, joint pain and mood 🌱
During the session, we explored the properties of:
🌹 Rose
🌼 Dandelion root
🌿 Sage
✨ Frankincense
It was incredible to realise just how many plants around us can be used in everyday ways — from creams to soothe joint pain, to tinctures supporting allergies, to simple additions like salad dressings that nourish our wellbeing from the inside out 💚
And of course… we got to taste some beautiful creations too — including fire cider and blackcurrant vinegar 🍷
Such a special, inspiring session… more photos to follow ✨
