🍁✨ Hello October ✨🍁

There’s something magical about the turning of the seasons, when the air sharpens, the leaves glow, and nature invites us to slow down.
October carries a rhythm all its own — a time to gather in, restore balance, and nourish both body and spirit before the hush of winter.

At Nature & Science, we love this month for its golden light, grounding foods, and the reminder that our bodies, like the seasons, move in cycles.
It’s a time for warm soups, herbal teas, early evenings, and letting your body recharge. 🍁 🍃 🍂

It’s also the perfect moment to give your health a reset.

To welcome in October, we’re offering £50 off a Full Health MOT in Exeter.

Prepare your body for the season ahead — build resilience, boost your energy, and get yourself on full power for the upcoming lurgy season!

🌑✨ A turning point in the seasons…

Tonight we welcome the New Moon—a time for fresh beginnings, reflection, and planting seeds of intention.
The dark sky invites us inward, to rest and realign with what truly matters. 🌙💚

And tomorrow brings Mabon, the Autumn Equinox 🍂—the moment of perfect balance between light and dark.
From here, the days shorten, and we’re invited to gather in, give thanks for the harvest, and prepare for the slower, deeper rhythm of the season ahead.

Together, these two events remind us:
Rest is as vital as action.
Balance is the foundation of health.
Every ending is the start of a new beginning.

✨ Ask yourself tonight: What am I ready to release?
✨ And tomorrow: What am I ready to welcome in?

Wishing you a nourishing New Moon and a beautiful Mabon,
with balance, gratitude, and renewal.

As September draws to a close - get your health and Wellbeing on track with £100 off a Full health MOT including a full personalised report.

🌕The Corn Moon 🌕

Tonight the Corn Moon rises, cloaked in gold and wonder, a celestial lantern lighting our way through the turning of the seasons. 🌽🍂 For centuries, this moon has guided farmers as they gathered their crops, its silver-gold glow a symbol of abundance, gratitude, and renewal.

The moon reminds us that, just like the harvest, our own lives move in cycles — seeds planted in hope, ripening in their own time, ready now to be gathered in. 🌾 What blessings have come to fullness for you this year? And what husks are you ready to release back to the earth, making space for new beginnings?

Step outside beneath the shimmering light. Feel the cool night air carry your wishes upward, and let the full moonlight wash you with calm and clarity.
Imagine the radiant glow filling your spirit with, calmness, renewal, and the promise of brighter days ahead.

May your heart and home be rich with gratitude and your path lit with silver shimmering healing moonlight.

Don’t forget Nature and Science has a special offer on the website for September only to celebrate our relocation to Exeter.

📱💡 Is Your Phone Stealing Your Health? 💡📱

The average person now spends over 2½ hours a day scrolling on their phone. That adds up to nearly a full month every single year… and more than 20 years of your life lost to a screen.

But the cost isn’t just in hours. It’s in your health:
Your brain – studies show that constant scrolling disrupts dopamine and serotonin balance, leaving you more anxious, restless, and unfocused.
Your body – endless sitting contributes to inflammation, weight gain, and fatigue.
Your relationships – when your attention is in your phone, it isn’t with your partner, your children, your friends… or yourself.
Your energy – no wonder you feel drained, even when you haven’t “done” much.

The fix is simple.
In a study where people limited phone use for just 72 hours, researchers saw a reset in brain activity linked to cravings and stress. The benefits were immediate: calmer mood, more presence, and more joy.

Try this today: put your phone in another room for an hour.
Notice how much more grounded, connected, and alive you feel.

You’ll never get to the end of your life wishing you had spent more time on your phone.
But you will treasure every moment you spent present, connected, and alive in your own story.

Less scrolling = More life. More health. More you ❤️

🌕✨ Full Moon Tonight — Time to Cleanse & Renew ✨🌕

Tonight’s Sturgeon Moon is brimming with luminous energy — the perfect time to let go of the old and welcome in the new.
Full moons are nature’s reset button, and one of the simplest ways to harness that energy is by giving your special objects a midnight spa.

Why the “Sturgeon Moon”?
In folklore, the August full moon takes its name from the great sturgeon fish, once abundant in lakes and rivers at this time of year.
It was seen as a moon of plenty, resilience, and survival — a reminder of the rewards that come from patience and persistence.
In folk tradition, the Sturgeon Moon was also considered a good time for cleansing, protection, and setting intentions for abundance as summer wanes.

Here’s what you can do tonight with your jewellery, crystals, and keepsakes:

💧 Salt & Herb Cleanse
In a small bowl, combine:
• Sea salt or Himalayan salt — draws out stagnant or negative energy
• Lavender — calms, soothes, and protects
• Chamomile — invites peace, harmony, and lightness
• Rose petals — infuses love, beauty, and self-worth

Nestle your pieces in this blend for at least an hour before moonrise.
As you place it in the salt, you could say:

“Salt of earth, strong and sure,
Lavender calm, chamomile pure,
Rose of love, soft yet bright,
Draw out the darkness, restore to light.”

When the hour is up, lift it from the salt, shake away any grains, and place it somewhere the moonlight can bathe it overnight.
By morning, it will be cleared, recharged, and humming with renewed moonlit energy — ready for a new chapter.

🌝 Whether you’re cleansing a favourite necklace, crystals, or simply yourself with a moonlight meditation, tonight is the night to let go of what no longer serves you.

🌿✨ CLEAVERS ✨🌿
Nature’s Sticky Little Healer

This week, as the hedgerows have come alive, our lovely young Highland pony Dandelion Moon has been happily munching away on one of his favourite snacks… CLEAVERS!
(You might know them as goosegrass — those little green plants that stick to your clothes like velcro!)

With his soft nose, Dandelion Moon makes a beeline for the cleavers, nibbling them slowly and intentionally — just like his Highland ancestors once did, up in the wild hills of Scotland.

They instinctively knew the power of these sticky little plants…
✨ Helping the body detox
✨ Keeping the lymph moving
✨ Easing puffiness and supporting natural balance

And it’s not just ponies who love them!

Cleavers are brilliant for us humans too:
✔ A gentle lymphatic cleanser
✔ Helps support kidney and urinary health
✔ Great for the skin (acne, eczema and more)
✔ A subtle immune boost — perfect for the change of seasons

Want to try cleavers for yourself?
Here’s one of our favourite ways:
🌿 Pop a handful of fresh cleavers in a jug of cold water
🧊 Leave it overnight
🥤 Sip it through the next day for a gentle, natural spring cleanse!

Or just take a walk, tune in, and notice what your body is drawn to…

Watching Dandelion Moon browse the hedgerows with his little friend Sabre is always a beautiful reminder:
Our bodies know.
Nature provides.
And sometimes, the best healing is wild, green, sticky, and growing right under our noses in abundance.

From Highland ponies to herbal teas — cleavers are humble little healers with a big heart.

And don’t miss our SPECIAL OFFER!
For a Health MOT including food sensitivities over 240 foods tested.
