Wonderful Fire Cider workshop todayAnanda Yoga & Lifestyle Studio

The room was filled with the scent of garlic and herbs as we explored the power of humble kitchen staples: thyme, onion, garlic, bay, chilli, ginger and apple cider vinegar. These ingredients will now steep for a few weeks to become a warming tonic often enjoyed during colder months, and many people find it great for clearing the sinuses too.

For optimal immune health, our bodies are best supported by restorative sleep, nourishing wholefood, regular movement, managing stress and keeping sugar and alcohol on the low side.

Here’s to a happy and healthy winter ahead! ❄️ ⛄️

Is it too early to mention stocking fillers?!

I’ve made a small festive batch of lip balm; this time in a delicious mandarin & black pepper blend.

Each balm comes in an aluminium tin (roughly 10–15ml).

It’s rich and long-lasting without being greasy, coats your lips beautifully and keeps them soft for hours. I use it every day! They last for months as only a small amount is needed.

£6 each
Collection from Horsforth
Postage £5 (probably not worth it for one, but possible!)

Making up prescriptions today

This one includes:

💊 Capsules – to be taken before bed on an empty stomach. These work as antimicrobials, supporting a healthy gut microbiome balance.

🍵 Nervine tea – to be enjoyed as the patient begins their evening wind-down and again at lights-out, helping to calm the nervous system and promote restful sleep.

Herbal antimicrobials are wonderful allies for rebalancing the gut microbiome and easing symptoms such as bloating, distension, and gas.

The gut truly is the epicentre of health. It’s the gateway through which nutrients reach every tissue and organ, supporting repair, regeneration, and optimal function in a beautifully interconnected system.

What do you do to care for your gut and optimise your health?

Think about what you add in or perhaps what you take away…

Today, I’m formulating herbal foot creams that fight stubborn microbial overgrowths 🌿👣

Fungal infections of the feet, particularly, are incredibly common: around 1 in 4 people will experience them at some point in life. These unwelcome microbes thrive in warm, damp places (like shoes and socks!) and can be notoriously persistent once they settle in.

That’s where nature’s antimicrobial and antifungal allies come in:

1. Myrrh – traditionally used to soothe and protect skin from infection.
2. Oregano – rich in carvacrol and thymol, powerful natural antifungals.
3. White grapefruit – adds freshness while helping create an unfriendly environment for fungal growth.

Herbal blends like these can support the body’s natural defenses while keeping feet fresh and healthy.

Mixing up some of my favourite herbal powders today to ease nausea and soothe the discomfort that comes with bile acid reflux.

The digestive system is such an intelligent and sophisticated design - a living symphony where every hormone, enzyme, and organ has its own part to play. The more I work with it, the more awe I feel for the body’s natural wisdom in maintaining balance and health.

Strolling through the Yorkshire countryside, where sheep speckle the fields and curious cows look on… surrounded by timeless stone walls, rolling hills, and lush greenery brought to life by the rain.

Where’s your favourite place to walk?

12/04/2025

We don’t need a scientific paper to know that a walk in nature is good for us—but reading the science is still fascinating. A recent systematic review compared walks in urban versus natural settings and found that time in nature significantly reduces depression and anxiety, and even slows the heart rate. Urban walks, on the other hand, don’t offer the same benefits—and may even increase anxiety.

So here’s something to consider:

How do you feel after a walk in nature?

And with spring in full bloom, how can we carve out more time to connect with the natural world in our daily routines—even if it’s just a few minutes in a nearby park, a quiet moment under a tree, or taking the long way home through green spaces?
