Nerve Calming, Muscle Relaxant
Crampbark has these gorgeous berries and pretty autumnal foliage. We actually use the Spring bark for the compounds which relax all muscle stiffness and pain and, at the same time, calm and regenerate nerve components.

It`s in our strong digestive formula called Gentian & Artichoke Formula (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/gentian-artichoke-formula). It relaxes gut muscles and encourages a good flow of digestive enzymes.

PumpBeet for Heart Power
Hawthorn`s rather early red berries but beautiful in the Summer sunshine.

These berries join olive leaf, beetroot and more to provide valuable heart `food ` support in our PumpBeet Capsules (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/pumpbeet-capsules-2).

Lung Flowers, Mullein
At Herbs Hands Healing, we`re ensuring we have plenty of our Breathe & Clear Herbal Tea (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/breathe-clear-herb-tea-2) ready for Autumn colds and coughs. The mullein flowers above are used as they are particularly good at loosening and bringing up sticky, infected phlegm and helping airways clear quickly.

Mullein flowers are also in our lung clearance herb blend called Mullein & Eucalyptus Formula (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/mullein-eucalyptus-formula). This is for stubborn coughs that hang on for far too long.

PolliTox and Burdock
These huge leaves will produce large roots for harvesting late Autumn or early Spring.

Burdock roots are invaluable blood cleansers, immune modulators and specific for helping remove toxins and allergens.

These roots complement the other herbs in our PolliTox Capsules (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/pollitox-capsules)

PolliTox Capsules can be used for: food allergies, seasonal allergies, skin flare-ups and importantly for dispelling the huge inflammatory reactions connected to these situations.

Likewise, they are a useful daily support for generalised inflammatory conditions, including metabolic syndrome.

Rosemary Is A Vascular Ally
Not only does Rosemary welcome heat and dry soils, but it also makes the most wonderful circulation plant.

Rosemary is in a lot of our PumpBeet Capsules (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/pumpbeet-capsules-2), providing vital circulatory support for severe cold, extremities and vascular blockages caused by stroke, etc.

Elderberry Harvest Time
We wouldn`t be without our Elderberry Tincture for autumn chills, colds and more. These wonderful berries make a phenomenally strong fever, sweating/flu remedy that cuts the virus down and speeds up recovery.

Its overarching mechanism is Immune Modulation and will specifically help stop viral particles from entering host cells (especially H1N1 influenza).

So Elderberry Tincture (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/elderberry-tincture) makes a good preventative protocol.

ColoClear Bowel Capsules
Our very helpful bowel capsules can make a big but gentle difference to bowel movements on a daily basis or as needed occasionally.

This striking common plant, yellow dock, is one of the plant ingredients. We use the root dug up in Autumn.

Wild Soap!
Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) is the original free plant source of soap. Nowadays, it is generally used by fabric conservators (National Trust, etc) for delicate or old clothes and tapestries.

The leaves and roots are boiled/simmered to release the soapy residue.
