Good Morning friends 🌞

The bestseller AnxieTea is now available in 3 sizes of teabag packs, as well as loose. Let me tell you about why so many people love it.

This tasty tea is ideal for people who are highly strung, perhaps on the spectrum, wrest with anxiety, and/or are highly intelligent (high IQ = more brain energy and if it doesn't have anywhere to go it can get ugly quickly! Highly intelligent and sensitive people almost always struggle emotionally).

This tea not only helps medicinally with the mental and physical manifestations of panic, but the act of brewing and mindfully drinking the tea gives your brain something sensory to do - you may have heard of grounding techniques such as "what can I taste, touch, smell" for distraction during a panic attack? Tea of any sort is one of the best ways I know to soothe a frazzled nervous system.

Just 1 cup of this tea makes a difference - but taken regularly over time, it can be a key player in your nervous system healing.

Added bonus - it can help lower high blood pressure, promote healthy sleep and boost mild depression. As I said in an earlier post - herbs don't just do one thing, they'll be used by your body in whichever way they're needed.

Formulated, tried & tested by a very sensitive medical herbalist!

It's no secret that I'm weirdly technophobic for someone of my generation.

However, after being lovingly harassed by my mrs, teens and shop regulars, I have been beavering away behind the scenes updating my website and creating an Etsy storefront!

The shop on the website is not live yet, but the Etsy shop is LIVE now and being added to all the time. If you're local, you can use the Etsy store to simply browse, then pop me a message (on here or etsy) or an email to place your order to access free Leek delivery or shop collection. If you're not local, you can click through the Etsy store to access first class postage at the lowest cost I can possibly offer it.

As ever, if you can't see what you want - or don't know what you need - send me a message. I'm absolutely passionate about personally-tailored, affordable natural healthcare and can make pretty much anything from herbs.

ROSEHIP SYRUP

Hi folks, taking pre-orders for rosehip syrup, 100ml/£10. Could you please comment if you think you're very likely to want one? This isn't a blood oath, just a reckoning for me to gauge interest, no payment is required til collection. They sell out very quickly whenever I list them for general sale/in the shop and I don't want anyone missing out.

Benefits of rosehip: Rosehip is an incredible powerhouse of vitamin C, plus vitamins A, D, E, antioxidants and trace minerals, plus it tastes delicious. It's anti inflammatory and great for those with painful conditions such as arthritis, a great alternative to elderberry syrup for those on immunosuppressants or who have flarey conditions where the cytokine issue of elderberry might make it worse.

Rosehip in syrup or dried (on the shelves now) is a wonderful addition to your winter stock cupboard and perfect for children, pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers. I usually put hibiscus in mine, to enhance that gorgeous rosy colour and add even more vitamin c.

It's best to make/buy syrups in small quantities - I make with as little sugar as possible and no alcohol, so they need to be kept in the fridge. If you buy a couple, I always recommend freezing all but one and defrosting as needed.
This syrup is made with Buxton spring water freshly collected from the well. So there's 4 ingredients: brown sugar, well water, rosehip & quite often hibiscus flower.

I will share this a few times over the next week and make the batch on Wednesday.

Free Leek delivery, postage at cost, or shop collection as always 🙂
