Herb Tip :: Making Tea

🌱

Herbal teas are such an incredible way to take your medicine. Here are some tips to make sure you get the most out of your herbal tea infusions!

+ Let it steep :: To draw the medicinal parts out of a plant, the herb needs to sit in the boiled water for at least 10 minutes. Leave your herbs steep for at least this long, and if your tea gets cold, simply heat it back up again on the stove top

+ Leave the lid on :: A lot of our aromatic plants (Lavender, Tulsi, Ginger) contain volatile oils. Volatile oils are important medicinal constituents, and they are lost in the steam that rises out of your brew. If you are steeping your tea, be sure to cover your saucepan or pot with a lid. If you have your herbs in a cup, cover it with a little saucer while your tea cools, so as not to lose those precious oils! This is why tea pots are great!

+ Boil your roots :: if you are having a ‘root tea’ (Ginger, Burdock, Dandelion), simply steeping them in hot water won’t draw out the constituents. It is best to boil the roots for 5 - 10 minutes, this is called a short decoction. If it reduces and tastes a bit strong, just top up with plain water

+ Experiment :: Experimenting with herbal teas is a great way to get to know your plants. Take some of your favourite herbs and throw them into your tea pot! You can try a single herb and tune in to the way it makes you feel, or make a concoction and see how the flavours play off each other - it's lots of fun making your own herbal witches brew!

Some of our favourite combos are
- Tulsi + Cinnamon
- Ginger + Elderberry + Lemongrass
- Hibiscus + Nettle + Lemon Balm

What are your favourite combinations?

Rosemary is not just a culinary spjce. It is like a herbal pharmacy.

Rosemary’s taste is pungent. This means it has warming, dispersing qualities that move stagnant blood and phlegm while stimulating digestion.

Rosemary has a particular affinity for the liver and gallbladder. It stimulates their secretions, and is really useful when the liver is sluggish, under-functioning or if there is excess tension. Excess tension in the liver may be a strictly physical problem, but in TCM this often looks like people who are anxious (which is a form of tension), are overly focussed on a particular goal, have difficulty sleeping and tend towards anger and irritability. Rosemary is a wonderful ally in such patterns.

One of Rosemary’s most remarkable features is the way it supports the brain. We know the maxim “Rosemary for remembrance” (which is why Rosemary is planted at war memorials). This is because folk medicine has used the plant for centuries to aid memory and concentration. Modern medicine calls Rosemary a ‘cephalic’, meaning it increases the flow of blood particularly, to the head. The increased blood flow to the head means brain function is enhanced. It also means it is a great memory for headaches.

Rosemary is a potent nervous system remedy. Operating somewhat differently from classic nervines like Lemon Balm or Chamomile, Rosemary has a magical way of ‘waking up’ dormant nerves that are ‘depressed’ and in need of stimulation.

Rosemary is a very special plant. Whilst it encourages short term memory, it also encourages us to remember the parts of our selves we have lost or dismissed. Rosemary is there for those who seek clarity, and wish to remember who they are.

Rosemary can be taken in many forms ~ throw a sprig in you tea, or add it to your food. Food grade rosemary essential oils can be added to your food. Aromatically put a few drops of essential oils in the diffuser or apply to your skin with your favourite base oil. Medicinally it can be taken as a powder or in tincture form. Rosemary also easily grows in most gardens - we encourage everyone to get to know this magical plant!

CBD or cannabidiol, is a plant-based compound found in h**p.

大麻植物具有極其複雜的植物化學成分，有很多好處，這些好處相當廣泛，也是其獨特之處。

大麻含有兩種主要化合物 - CBD和THC。

CBD是大麻的非精神活性成分，而THC是精神活性成分。

關於大麻對健康的益處，最令人激動的是它直接作用於我們的內分泌系統（ECS）的方式。

ECS對我們的調節系統（如心血管、免疫或消化系統）起著至關重要的作用。

ECS實際上是我們的主要平衡機制—這意味著它可以使我們的身體系統保持持續平衡。

然而，具體而言，ECS在心理-神經-免疫系統上有很大的作用。

大麻對任何遇到與情緒、認知或任何類型的炎症有關的健康失衡的人來說是有非常強大的威力，但尤其是神經炎症。炎症是巨大比例的慢性疾病背後的驅動力。

大麻適用於從克羅恩病、帕金森病和焦慮症，到各種免疫力失衡，到關節炎、疼痛和身體傷害等任何疾病。

大麻之所以有如此廣泛的應用範圍，是因為它的藥理學非常複雜，其特定菌株品種和化合物可以針對那種疾病和失衡亦然在研究中。

目前，外用大麻是合法的。

The Cannabis plant has extremely complex phytochemistry, which means it has lots of benefits that are quite broad, yet very unique to the plant.

Cannabis contains two main compounds - CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

CBD is the non-psychoactive component of cannabis, whilst THC is the psychoactive component.

The most exciting thing about the health benefits of cannabis is the way it works directly to our endocannabanoid system (ECS) .

The ECS plays a vital part to our regulatory systems such as the cardiovascular, immune, central nervous or digestive system.

The ECS is in fact our primary homeostatic mechanism - it means it can keep our body system in balance.

Specifically however, the ECS works on the psycho-neuro-immunological axis.

This makes cannabis extremely powerful and significant for anyone experiencing health imbalances related to mood, cognition, or inflammation of any kind, but especially neuro-inflammation. Inflammation is the driver behind a huge percentage of chronic disease.

This makes cannabis indicated for anything from Crohn’s disease and diverticulitis to MS, Parkinson’s and anxiety, to all kinds of auto-immune disorders, to arthritis, pain and physical injuries.

The reason why cannabis has such a broad range of application is because if its very complex pharmacology - research is ongoing as to what strains and specific compounds target what kinds of diseases and imbalances.

At the moment, cannabis is legal to use externally only.
