Chervil is a pretty little shade and moisture loving plant that can bolt and go to seed very quickly if too hot or dry. Its life can be extended by nipping out the flower tips as they form. It has a pleasant mild parsley/aniseed flavour.

Chervil is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, coumarins, vitamins C & A, calcium and potassium.

Senior citizens can benefit from its use as a tea, as folklore says it cheers the spirit, increases mental clarity, clears depression, improves metabolism and the complexion, purifies the blood and increases strength and wellbeing. Modern research shows it is anti-cancer, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antifungal.

Chervil has been used in traditional medicine for digestion, high blood pressure, a diuretic, a mild stimulant, blood purification, immune boosting, indigestion, gas, appetite stimulation, high blood pressure, circulation improvement, varicose veins, blood clots, increased urine output, fluid retention, kidney stones, coughs, colds, congested chest, blemishes, swelling, eye irritation, improved memory, eye brightening, mood improvement, gout, rheumatism, hiccups (with vinegar), liver function, inflammation, eye inflammation, cataracts, conjunctivitis, glaucoma, detached retina, anaemia, colic, haemorrhoids, thrombosis, hardening of the arteries, digestion aid, promotion of perspiration and much more.

Is your skin dry, sun burned, sun damaged, reddened, aged, scarred? Have skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea or rashes flared up?

Skin absolutely CAN be regenerated. We never lose the ability to regenerate for as long as we live. We just need to give the body the right tools to do it.

Each ingredient in our Skin Corrective Moisturising Oil has been carefully researched and chosen. We’ve avoided beeswax, to limit possible allergic responses.

H**p is a rare plant-based form of full spectrum protein. Only a FULL spectrum protein can rebuild and renew cells.

Jojoba oil is thought to be the closest oil to our own sebum. It balances our sebum and facilitates super absorption into the skin, so, you don’t end up with an annoying oily film sitting on the surface.

Sweet Almond oil is thought to prevent moisture loss and aid absorption of moisture.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid which is ideal for acne prone skin.

Calendula supports speedy healing and is soothing to dry, flaky and itchy skin.

Carrot seed oil is believed to have an SPF of 42 and may support historical skin damage, especially sun damage, right down through the layers.

Raspberry Seed oil, with its SPF of 37, is not only sun protective, but it is incredibly softening to the skin and calming to skin conditions that are reddened, irritated, itchy and dry.

Avocado oil soothes irritated skin while supporting production of collagen and new skin growth.

Rosehip may support dark spots, scars, fine lines and skin elasticity, right down through the layers.

Rose oil is calming to both the skin and the mind.

There are soooo many ways to use cauliflower. It can be lightly steamed, stir fried, added to soups and stews, used to replace carbs as pizza bases or “rice”. It can be used in curries and coated and fried. It can be roasted whole or baked in a sauce.

It’s well worth exploring the many options.

We have been told that the sun is on its way (here’s hoping), and it might be quite intense through February.

The sun is our main source of vitamin D, which is essential for regeneration and effective functioning of the body and mind.

Vitamin D deficiency can cause thinning of bones, or rickets, making them brittle and mis-shapen, and can lead to other conditions such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia, resulting in increased pain, and often seen in children who are vitamin D deficient. Reduced vitamin D can also cause severe asthma in children, cognitive impairments, cancer and risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

So, we need that sun, but in short bursts, with the best protection.

We have a new batch of our Protective Sun Balm, which contains….

Sweet Almond Oil, packed with natural vitamin E, to protect cells from sun damage by reducing DNA damage and chemical and structural changes in the skin that have been caused by the sun’s rays.

H**p seed oil to help deflect some of the UV rays without affecting the absorption of vitamin D, while deeply nourishing down through the skin layers. Raspberry seed oil. According to a 2000 study, raspberry seed oil offers a 28-50 SPF protection factor against UVB rays. It’s soothing to reddened or irritated skin and supremely softening.

Carrot seed oil is said to have a SPF of 35-40. Carrot seed oil is famous for its protection from sun damage, and its collagen boosting anti-aging qualities.

Avocado oil has the highest SPF of all the base oils and coats the skin surface with a thin, protective layer that guards it against direct external influences.

Aloe Vera is both protective and healing to the skin, and especially protective from sun damage.

Shea Butter contains vitamins A & E which can help protect from free radicals caused by UV Radiation.

Frankincense, with an SPF of 57, smooths lines and increases the elasticity of the skin.

Natural Raw Manuka Beeswax provides a breathable barrier to protect against sun damage, without clogging pores.

Zinc is anti-inflammatory and offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA rays and UVB rays, reflecting them away from the skin. It’s environmentally friendly and gentle on sensitive skins.

Our Protective Sun Balm is just that, a Sun Balm. It’s not a sun block. We recommend shade, or cover up and wear a hat, for the most effective sun block. You need short bursts of sun, and you can use our Protective Sun Balm each time you go out, to protect down through the layers of the skin, and deal with existing damage, while still letting those precious rays through.

Capsicum is another yummy herb that is also a common vegetable. It’s varieties range from sweet peppers through to cayenne. And it’s one of the most varied in colours. They can range from green, through yellow, orange, red and almost black.

Capsicum is rich in antioxidants such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamin C, which help neutralise free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress, lowering the risk of chronic diseases, and protecting cells from damage.

Capsicum fruit contains the active pain relieving chemical capsaicin.

Capsicum is commonly used for nerve pain, including diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by shingles, and other chronic painful conditions. Other traditional medicinal uses are for digestion problems, conditions of the heart and blood vessels, back pain, cluster headaches, nonallergic rhinitis, Osteoarthritis, acute pain, nausea and vomiting after surgery, chills, toothache, poor circulation, fever, hyperlipidaemia, trigeminal neuralgia, post herpetic neuralgia, Fibromyalgia, colds, colic, flatulence, stomach cramps, cramp, muscle spasms and laryngitis.

So add some capsicums to your diet, preferably raw but even lightly steamed or stir fried.

Kids driving you around the bend???? Want a more peaceful holiday period????

Grumpy??? Tantrums??? ADHD??? Not sleeping??? Growing pain???

Research shows that low magnesium levels in children can cause hyperactivity, refusal to go to bed, anxiety, poor concentration, fatigue, irritability, grumpiness, poor sleep habits and more.

Sound familiar?

That’s because most kids are magnesium deficient because we can no longer get enough from our food, due to modern farming practices, and magnesium is crucial for physical and cognitive development. It’s the activator of vitamin D, which we need to develop, repair and regenerate. More than 300 functions of the body cannot work properly without it. Magnesium is required by the body to create Melatonin, the sleep hormone. It’s also the tool for creating Serotonin, the antistress hormone. We can’t create sufficient of either without magnesium.

Topical spray Magnesium supports muscle function and regulates energy production, so your little one can do their best, while feeling their best, at sports. Topical spray is best. Oral delivers less than 50% of its value and can cause stomach upsets. Topical spray enters directly into the blood stream via the skin, delivering more than 95% of its value, while by-passing the digestive system to avoid any negative stomach reactions.

Boron is the other mineral that we can no longer get enough of from our food, and it’s essential for the growth and maintenance of bones and teeth. It’s thought to extend the half-life of vitamin D in the body. It’s believed that boron may be essential for the very evolution of mankind.

Your child can’t help but sleep better, control moods better, think better, use energy better and grow better with regular supplementation of topical magnesium and boron spray.

Check out our Kidz Magnesium & Boron spray at www.theherbalists.co.nz.

Brussels sprouts!!! Most either love them or hate them. Personally, I love them.
They are loaded with antioxidants, fibre, vitamins C, K and A, and omega-3’s.
Brussels sprouts contain glucosinolates and chlorophyll, which may help restrict tumour growth and fight cancer-causing compounds.

Fiber, potassium, antioxidants, and omega-3s in Brussels Sprouts help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and support overall cardiovascular function.

The High fibre promotes regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

Vitamin C is crucial for a strong immune system.

High Vitamin K helps with bone mineralization, reducing osteoporosis risk.
Antioxidants like kaempferol combat inflammation, reducing risks for chronic diseases.

Fiber and omega-3s help regulate blood sugar and insulin resistance; good news for those with or at risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

Vitamins A and C, plus antioxidants, support healthy skin and collagen production and protect eyes from age-related issues.

You can buy them in supplement for, if you really don’t like the taste of the vegetable, but fresh is always best, just lightly steamed for maximum value.

Traditional medicinal uses for Brussels sprouts are for high blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, high cholesterol, heart function, osteoporosis, cancer, chronic disease, anaemia, skin health, collagen production, immune system regulation, constipation, digestive issues, inflammation, liver detoxification, to reduce oestrogen, removal of bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract, restoration of the gastrointestinal tract’s mucous lining, fibroids, to reduce the thickness of the uterus endometrium and much much more.

What a versatile and interesting little vegetable.

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants (anthocyanins) and nutrients. They are high in fibre (13% of DV), Vitamin C (14% of DV), Vitamin K (24% of DV), and Manganese. They are 85% water, and an entire cup contains only 84 calories, with 21.5 grams of carbohydrates.

A 2004 review found that regularly eating blueberries every day for a month could significantly improve blood flow and blood vessel dilation.

In a 2008 study, blueberries were found to improve exercise performance and decrease certain inflammatory markers, which could aid in recovery.

Anthocyanins in blueberries fight cell damage from free radicals, protecting against chronic diseases and aging. Research suggests that anthocyanins in blueberries have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. These effects have been observed with both fresh and freeze-dried berries.

Blueberries may improve memory, thinking skills, and offer protection against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. They can help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol, improve blood vessel function, and lower heart disease risk.

Compounds in blueberries can reduce inflammation, benefiting conditions like arthritis.

Blueberries may help prevent UTIs, in a similar way to cranberries.

The High fibre content in blueberries supports normal digestion.

Antioxidants and flavonoids show potential in inhibiting cancer cell growth and DNA damage.

Traditionally they have been used medicinally for athletic performance and recovery, blood vessel health, high cholesterol, hearth health, digestive health, brain health, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, dementia, memory, cognitive function, DNA repair, diabetes, cancer and much much more.

No wonder they are considered to be a superfood. They really are.
