Herbal Remedies

Herbal remedies have a long history. Our ancestors used herbs as medicine because they had no choice.

I have personally used St Johns Wort to relieve mild depression, I have used mint tea for an upset stomach and the majority of supplements I take these days are herbal in origin.

I have used lavender in the bath for a relaxing soak, and burned thyme oil to relieve sinuses when I have a cold.

I use my herbs and oils in preference to commercial products.

In this section, I intend to bring news of the latest developments and findings and also some ancient herbal remedies.

Herbs are natural, but bear in mind, they're not always safe - you need to do your research before trying a herbal cure.

Consult your doctor or chemist/pharmacist to see if the herbs you want to take will interfere with any medication you may already be on.

If you're pregnant or suffer from a long term illness, such as diabetes, then also consult before you give the medicinal herbs a try.
