New blog post: Tips from the Herbarium on coping with Christmas stress

11/12/2025

Our herbalist Carol Burnett says that whilst supportive nervine herbs, adaptogens and supplements are really effective for stress, it's essential for the person to explore changes or practices they could adopt that would also help, and to include some sort of bodywork in a protocol to reduce the physical residues of stress. "It's good to do something energetic, like walking, cycling – whatever; and something relaxing that involves deep breathing, like yoga, breath work or Tia chi.
And you should work with an experienced body worker, something like massage, acupuncture, Alexander technique, any of the therapies on offer at NEH really. It's good to have someone do something to or for you as well as engaging yourself."

Our herbalist Robyn James has specialised in the treatment of thyroid conditions for about 25 years. It all began when a blogpost written by one of Robyn's patients about her recovery from thyroid issues went viral and people started booking in from all over the world! This started a fascination with treating the thyroid that she still enjoys all these years later, addressing diet, lifestyle and prescribing herbs.
Her first tip is to ensure good selenium intake; eating one or two Brazil nuts a day should do it. But be careful as more than three per day can cause toxicity.
