Painful, heavy, or irregular periods and PMS

๐ŸŒฟ During the Winter Herbal Remedies & Fire Cider Workshop we explored different herbal remedies as well as lifestyle, dietary and supplement support for cold and flu season.

๐Ÿ’ฎ Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) ๐Ÿ’ฎ

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซ How well do you really know blackthorn?

๐ŸŒณ A member of the Rosaceae family, blackthorn has dark brown bark and as the second part of its Latin name implies (spinosa), it is covered in many thorns or 'spines'.

๐Ÿค“ The tree blossoms in early spring, before producing any leaves. This is a good way to differentiate it from other trees with similar flowers, e.g. Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.).

๐Ÿ’ฎ It has delicate white five-petal flowers, with many anthers and stamens. If you pick a flower and suck its nectar, it has the loveliest almondy taste. I recommend trying it!

๐Ÿซ If the flowers are left for pollination, in the autumn and winter the tree will produce a bountiful crop of seeded fruits (drupes), i.e. sloes. Home-made sloe gin, anyone? ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿงš The tree is steeped in interesting folklore. For example, in Celtic mythology, the blackthorn was seen as a sacred tree of protection.

๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ’ฉ Medicinally, blackthorn is incredibly toning (astringent) and anti-spasmodic. Thus, the bark and leaves have been used to create infusions and tinctures to alleviate diarrhea and stomach cramps.

๐Ÿค’๐Ÿคง Sloes have also been used as a mouth rinse for mild sore throats. Some have used the flowers in herbal teas and syrups to help with coughs and colds.

๐Ÿค“ If you're interested in learning more about wild food, foraging and herbal medicine, I have a Winter Remedies & Fire Cider Workshop at the coming up on Saturday 18th October. For more information, check out the event link in my bio. ๐Ÿ”—

๐Ÿ‚ BRB ๐Ÿ‚

I'm taking a short break to connect with loved ones and nature.

I'm looking forward to frolicking in the woods; foraging for berries and mushrooms; and refilling my cup before an exciting month full of herbal events! (This is the part where you visit the website and check out all of my wonderful offerings!) ๐Ÿ˜‰

I will be returning to clinic on Monday the 29th of September. I will endeavour to respond to all emails and messages swiftly upon my return.

For urgent matters, please contact my mobile number.

Until then, take care.
