5 ways to set yourself up for a good night's sleep 😴

1. Get changed into some Boody underwear and loungewear made from organic bamboo viscose. Comfort is key and there is nothing more comfortable then Boody! If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you do. You will never go back to other fabrics!

2. Add some calming essential oils to a diffuser in your bedroom or put a few drops on your pillow or night wear.

3. Drink a nice calming sleep tea about 30 - 60 minutes before bed.

4. If you have issues falling asleep or staying asleep, then pop in for a chat to see whether any of our research based natural sleep support products can help support you.

5. Invest in a grounding pillow. Connecting to the earth on a nightly basis can improve your health and well-being and improve sleep.

A quick reminder of how important our inner ecosystem is to our health. 🦠🦠

Our gut microbiome changes from day to day and is influenced by what we eat and drink as well as our environment and lifestyle. We are also very different from one another and have our own individual ecosystems so there is no one size fits all approach.

Probiotic therapy is important for increasing diversity of bacteria, especially if you have been on a course of antibiotics or suffer from a chronic disease. The word probiotics in Latin means `for life' promoting life. If you have been on a course of antibiotics it can take up to 3 months to restore your gut microbiome so 3 months as a minimum is the length of time recommended to take probiotics for.

There are specific strains of bacteria that are clinically researched for specific conditions, for example:

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus (LGG) - for allergies and eczema

Saccharomyces Boulardii - for fungal issues and diarrhoea

Lactobacillus Plantarum (299v) - for IBS due to its anti-inflammatory action

Bifidobacterium Lactis (BB12) - for gastrointestinal issues and constipation

Spore forming (e g Gutsi or Megasporebiotic) - a great all rounder that survives digestion, supports microbiome diversity and maintains a healthy gut barrier.

For general health purposes, it is a good idea to rotate different multi strain probiotics so you are introducing much needed diversity, rather than taking big doses of the same two strains all the time, we do after all have hundreds of different strains of bacteria living in our gut.

Why we love our Herb Farm skin care range.

Why we use fresh herbal extracts 🌿💚

When plants are harvested, their antioxidants are at their peak. These are the protective compounds that defend against free radical damage, support skin repair, and keep your complexion looking healthy and vibrant.

But once herbs are dried, they begin to lose some of these antioxidants. Heat, light, and oxygen all play a role in breaking them down during the drying process. By the time they are powdered and stored, the antioxidant content is often much lower than when the plant was fresh. 🌱🌼

That’s why fresh herbal extracts are so valuable in skincare. They capture more of those delicate antioxidant compounds right from the living plant - preserving their full potency. This means your skin receives a stronger natural boost to help fight oxidative stress, maintain resilience, and glow with vitality. 🌿✨

Choosing skincare made with fresh extracts means choosing maximum antioxidant power 🌱
