I love to work with liquid herbs. It allows me to use the highest quality herbal medicines available, individually blended to suit patients presentations.

So… generally I’m not a mushroom person. Unless it’s enoki or oyster in a pho (Yummo).
However, this powdered medicinal mushroom blend is brilliant (1/2-1 teaspoon in my morning coffee every morning).

Traditionally, a herbalist was out in the fields foraging for herbs and using them to make medicines. While wild-crafting of herbs is still practiced, modern-day herbalists benefit from the availability of high quality herbal extracts and tablets or capsules which have been carefully made to retain the plants’ natural constituents to create high quality, therapeutically effective remedies.

Being plant-based, herbal medicines capture the vital energy and properties of the whole plant or the specific part used e.g. the leaf, root or berry.

A single herb works in more ways than one to restore healthy functioning in the different body systems. For example, Withania may boost energy and vitality, improve your ability to cope with stress, reduce inflammation to help manage pain and boost immunity. Together, this can make you less susceptible to winter colds and flus. Other herbs have a myriad of therapeutic actions. When combined, they work synergistically to improve the health of your whole body.

Your practitioner may blend a liquid herbal blend just for you. By carefully selecting and combining herbs with specific actions at the appropriate doses for your condition, a herbalist can create a therapeutic medicine that targets your individual health needs. It's best to always work with a practitioner who can determine the best herbs for you, especially if you are on other medications or have any other health concerns that need to be addressed.

As we move through the second half of winter now is the most common time that our vitamin D levels are at there lowest.

It’s an important fat soluable vitamin that helps with immunity, bone density, mood and many autoimmune diseases.

Where do you think your Vitamin D levels are at?
Have you had it tested before?

Quite often I hear “I exercise out doors a lot” or “ I work outdoors”. However, in clinical practice I see low levels consistently.

Did you know that I can test your vitamin D levels?
