I'm loving the great successes I'm having with hayfever this season and thought I'd share some of my most recent feedback.

If you or you know someone struggling with hayfever please get in touch, I'll keep sharing more of these success stories so I can reach more people and spread the word of just how effective plant medicines can be. Reading these always brightens my day!

My kids have started to show mild cold symptoms so I've sprung into action to boost our immune systems. These are some herbs I regularly use but will always tweak amounts and herbs depending on what I'm tackling.

It's certainly a perk of being a Herbalist and having my own dispensary within arms reach. If you are noticing similar with you or your family or just want general immune tonics and support get in touch... we have so many options and I can tailor to specific symptoms if needed. The sooner we can intervene the less miserable I find sickness can be!

Happy New Years! To hopefully harness the energy of New Years resolutions I'm offering 20% off consult fees during the month of January.

So whether you're an existing patient or been interested in natural medicine can help you, now is the perfect time.

Another quick herbal success story involving one of my children (naturally). I love sharing these because they are real and demonstrate quick results and show how useful it can be having plant medicines on hand.

In this case while Lydia was stalling sleep time, she told me her nose was running and sure enough, went in and she had a light nose bleed. I don't have any Yarrow (pictured) growing in my yard but dipped some toilet paper in some yarrow tincture from my dispensary and put this in her nostril. I'd estimate about 1 minute of contact the bleeding had completely stopped and was no fresh blood after reinserting a couple of times.

Yarrow is a fantastic plant used for thousands of years by Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Persians to name a few. One of the key uses for these empires was battle wounds, cuts etc and is still known for it's Antihemorrhagic/Hemostatic properties, which means to stop bleeding. There are many cases of modern herbalists using this for cuts and wounds by crushing/chewing the plant's leaf and applying it to the wound, stopping the bleeding rapidly.

Another success story from the natures medicine case and thought I'd have to share!

As we get into the festive season often our habits shift, eating and drinking more of the things we normally wouldn't during the year.

My general approach is that of balance, I don't stress myself personally from having the 'perfect' diet, but one that allows some flexibility. The beauty of this is a healthier lifestyle is far more attainable when you allow yourself some treats and means it is far easier to stick to and make it part of your routine.

So with this in mind, when we are consuming more alcohol, fatty foods etc, herbs are a great way to support our bodies and allow us to unwind with less guilt and less impact on our body. I've pictured St Mary's Thistle, one of my favourite liver herbs and is essential in any of my detox/liver mixes.

So if you'd like some help with digestion, liver and general gut support please get in touch. I'm always excited to show how powerful herbs can be before and after eating, sometimes a few drops of bitter herbs 20 minutes before meals can make a huge difference in ones body.

It's also good to remember to try and include fibre, whether it's in the form of leafy greens or other vegetable/nuts/seeds to keep the microbiome ticking along.

Busy morning making a bunch of hayfever mixes!I've been hit with this myself and have been heavily relying on my herbs to stop with the itchy eyes and runny nose. Itchy eyes are my main symptom but I do get touched with the others as well.

Everyone is different and experiences symptoms differently so it's always helpful to understand a person when making a customised herbal mix.

If you or anyone else finds the hayfever season as miserable as I used to get in touch, I have the herbs and am excited to spread the effectiveness of plants medicines to more people.

Went for a brief coastal track walk last week, was supposed to be longer but unfortunately Lydia fell and hurt her knee. I was only thinking about having a herbal first aid kit when getting out of the car and 20 minutes later I was in need of one.

Unfortunately I didn't have anything on me and my knowledge of Aboriginal herbal medicine is limited, I found some nearby "Pig Face" to squeeze juice on wound which was used traditionally for insect bites, wound healing among other things. When we got home my brave little trooper helped me make up a special cream to go in our first aid kit. This included comfrey, chamomile, calendula, yarrow and got kola with some Lavender essential oil.

(Please excuse messy bench I hadn't planned to make any creams this day!) But as you can see the chance to make our own medicine was very exciting!

The next day wound which had bled a decent amount was nearly completely sealed over and and dried up wonderfully. The mix of herbs I chose help helped stop bleeding, fight any possible infections with antimicrobial actions and increase speed of tissue regeneration, as well as anti inflammatory properties to help with some of the pain. I think a cream like this on hand is so useful as kids do fall over and it's great having something they can be involved with making as well as speeding up recovery time.

Had another great experience today with some of my natural medicines and something I thought was worth sharing. Keep in mind this is not meant for medical advice and you should always consult your healthcare professionals if in doubt, especially with kids and illness.

My daughter told me she'd been feeling sick during the day and very much not acting herself. When we got home I brewed her (and her brother of course!) a cup of Chamomile tea which she devoured and within a short space of time was far more like herself. It appears to be a stomach bug of sorts, so Chamomile is well indicated, having anti microbial properties as well as the well known relaxing and soothing qualities to name a few.

I checked her temperature because she seemed warm and was 39.7C! I gave her one tablet each of IP.82 and PCIP celloid and checked 10-15 minutes later and she was then 38.5 and within 30 minutes or so was back to 37 after regular monitoring.

While posting this she woke upset again, fever has crept back up to 38.1 so some water and more celloids, checked 10 minutes later and down to 37.4. These remedies are truly remarkable in my eyes and some of the best aspects of being a herbalist is I don't need to wait, I can begin treating at the first sign of sickness immediately with affordable, safe and extremely effective remedies. As a practitioner and parent I could never be without these in my medicine cabinet.

As demonstrated they work quickly and are incredibly safe, I've had nothing but quality feedback on patients who have used these. I love minerals and herbs together and hope one day remedies like this will once again be stocked in regular households to give some control into our health and give us options for self care.

Always happy to talk medicine so get in touch or comment if this is of interest! Many more examples like this I'll be excited to share.

Quick little video of my setup and brief talk (thanks Mum). Great to get out there talking about natural medicines, hearing and sharing (often familiar) stories from the community.

Looking forward to the next one!

Market ready for tomorrow. I've gone with some general common themes of health like immunity,digestion and reflux, stress and anxiety in both tea and tincture form.

Excited to keep spreading the word of natural medicine!

31/08/2025

Making a batch of some 3 common tea blends I've put together based on common ailments and health troubles I see in practice.

I often customise blends but generic tea blends are a good way to experience simple but effective way to experience herbal medicines.

I'm so excited to share this with my patients and local community to add to their medicine cabinets.
