Ginkgo Harvest For Brain Support
Harvested at this stripy green and yellow stage for optimum biochemistry. Ginkgo Leaf Tincture (https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/ginkgo-tincture-2) increases blood flow to the brain, opening up narrowed capillaries. This increases oxygen and nutrient supply, vital for memory, focus and recall.

King of Digestives, Basil
This homegrown basil in a neighbour`s garden has been left to flower because its flowers are so pretty.

Both leaves and flowers contain strong immune compounds that heal the gut and enable good digestion.

It is one of the many digestive herbs in our Lemon and Artichoke Concentrate (link: https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/lemon-artichoke-concentrate). Ask for a sample.

Breathing Better & Mint
A classic herbal blend for helping the lungs and making breathing easier would always have mint in it. Our Breathe & Clear Herb Tea is no exception and peppermint stars alongside several other herbs that help make breathing easier and lung function noticeably better.

A fun fact concerning mint and breathing is that the essential oil `menthol` changes how the brain processes breathing sensations, rather than directly affecting breathing muscles or lung capacity.

(The mint picture here is one of the 20 to 30, often garden escape or wild/bred species)

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.
