The holiday season can have your liver working a little harder as you cope with those once a year foods, a celebratory drink with loved ones, a little less sleep, and a bit more travel.

Now is a good time to start bringing in those liver protecting herbs such as Milk Thistle seed. It protects your liver through a number of mechanisms.

It's spooky season!
So now is a good time to stock up on garlic.

Spooky business aside, garlic is a wonderful herb to support cardiovascular health, it's an anti-inflammatory, and is a potent antimicrobial.

The Greek physician, Pliny the Elder, listed 23 uses for garlic in his Historica Naturalis; including protection against toxins and infections. Garlic is a great herb to have in the cupboard throughout the year, especially when there's a few colds about.

Drop a comment below and tell us your favourite way to use garlic.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is topping up together.

Consider this your invitation to pause.
To breathe.
To notice how you're really doing or perhaps to notice how the person next to you is doing.

We're holding space for you.
Take Notice / Me Aro Tonu

We would love to know how you are celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week. Please let us know with a comment below 👇

🕯 Sometimes the quietest moments speak the loudest.

This week, as we honour Mental Health Awareness and the wellbeing pillar Take Notice / Me Aro Tonu, we invite you to light a candle… and gently ask:

How am I really doing?
And how is the person beside me?

Not to fix. Just to notice. 🌿
