I’m frequently asked if herbs work but quite often even the people really into herbal medicine will go to a GP for an antibiotic rather than trust the process. This started on Friday with no access to a dentist. It was an abscess, so rather than wait for out of hours and Tuesday morning I suggested some herbs. This is just one of two abscess’s that we treated this week. People forget herbs can be very effective for even acute care. . Kindly used with permission.

To the question I’m often asked…. Does Herbal Medicine work?
Even some of the most committed believers seem to go to a GP if they suffer an acute infection. Don’t underestimate the power of herbs in acute first aid medicine. I used 5 antibiotic herbs that are are without the common side effects of broad spectrum antibiotics.
This was an acute Absess. Photo used with permission and by day three the difference was clear though I’m told that it was having an impact in 6 hours.

Your testosterone isn't just about muscles and s*x drive.
It's about confidence. Energy. Clarity. The ability to show up as yourself in the world.
But here's what nobody tells you: modern life is actively working against your hormones. Xenoestrogens in plastics, stress that tanks cortisol, diets that don't support androgen production.
The good news? You can reclaim it.
In my Men's Health Hub, I break down:
🌿 How cholesterol actually supports healthy testosterone (yes, really)
🌿 The herbs and foods that naturally boost androgens
🌿 Why statins might be sabotaging your hormones
🌿 Practical lifestyle shifts that actually work
This isn't bro science. This is clinical herbalism meets functional medicine.
Your body wants to thrive. Let's give it what it needs.

Naked and Unashamed.
For too long, men have been taught to hide their struggles, their vulnerabilities, their real selves. We've been conditioned to believe that strength means silence.
I'm launching Naked and Unashamed www.nakedandunashamed.uk to change that. This is a space where men can show up authentically, connect deeply, and heal together. No masks. No performance. Just real conversations around health, purpose, and what it means to be a man in today's world.
Inspired by and the work he and others are doing to redefine masculinity, I'm building a community and retreat experience where men can be vulnerable, supported, and genuinely heard.
Men's retreats are coming. We'll gather around fires, share meals, and do the work that matters. I'll be putting more on an instagram specific page - link below.
If this resonates with you — if you're ready to be naked and unashamed — reach out. Let's build this together.

Fat shamed!!! The very first time I’ve ever been fat shamed on social media. I didn’t expect it on LinkedIn. I am pretty thick skinned and used to online abuse over the years. To answer his question though - because I’m happily married, content in my own body, work way too many hours for other people and hate the cold. I run 5k 2 times a week when it’s sunny and a summer of any worth opens up the possibility of open water swimming the body will soon disguise my love of wine and content man belly which incidentally is within healthy range. I’m not clinically overweight nor obese. You are seeing a loose shirt sagging. The herbs however have nothing to do with your sad, fat-calling, name-calling, prejudiced point of view.

We know many of you struggle with the seasonal allergies.
This is the time to start preparing your immune system to what is coming ahead!
We have two products which can be sold over the counter to help with the itchy eyes, sneezes, nose runs etc...
All made with organic ingredients and best starting 2 -3 weeks prior to the seasonal allergens get into full power.
🫖 Antihis(tea)mine tea: bee pollen, nettles and other amazing herbs are the stars of this tasty tea which can be drunk hot, cold or made into ice-lollies for children.
🌿 Our seasonal support Mix is a tincture blend with herbs to do exactly what the name suggests. It is stronger than the tea and is taken in smaller dosage.
🐝 Sting Balm is a handy stick that can be taken in a handbag or backpack during walks. It should be used on specific places on skin where something small might have taken a taste ... according to our clients it is quite effective on Nettle stings as well!
You can find them in our shop and website

Garreth is training as a medical herbalist with NIMH. Realising the western world has been robbed of the opportunity to make things for themselves he has turned his hand to self-sufficiency, wild swimming, aquaponics, baking, fermenting, wine-making, medicine making and Hebrew Roots.
In 2019 Garreth and Carla decided to launch The Wild Sage as a means of funding his education. They hope to grow organically into an apothecary and wholefoods store but if Garreth had his way he’d be starting his vision of an eco village (monastery).
The Wild Sage is currently selling herbal teas by mail order, Garreth is happy to make tailor made tinctures and tablets for pre-diagnosed conditions but will not carry out a diagnosis unless a client is willing to be a case-study at this stage.
