A day of making medicines and harvesting plants.

These beautiful vibrant flowers are calendula officinalis or marigold.

After collection of the darkest orange flowers, they were left to dry in drying racks.

Calendula can be used for a few things, as most herbs!

It has various actions, assisting the immune system, being anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-spasmodic, anti-histamine, anti-haemorrhage and antibacterial.

It is used internally and externally and makes a wonderful antimicrobial, healing cream.

(Always consult a herbalist before trying new herbs, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication).

Hawthorn Berries are abundant at the moment! I love seeing plants change through the seasons.

Hawthorn berries and flowers are used a lot in my practice. It is known as a cardioprotective and a cardiac tonic. It helps to lower blood pressure, is antiarrhythmic and its actions lack the toxic effects of digitalis.

So I use it in prescriptions for several heart and cardiovascular conditions alongside other indicated herbs.

Always check with a medical herbalist or medical professional before taking any herbs, especially if you are on medication, pregnant or breastfeeding.

What a fantastic day. It was a scorcher, but a beautiful setting and lots of lovely people and stalls. It was a great opportunity to talk to people about what we do and for me talking about herbal medicine.
