Reduce Inflammation & Eat Well

If you asked me what single herb I’d take to a desert island to keep my spirits up and physical body well, I’d probably say lavender.

Entering the month of December can herald the need for extra happy hormones as increased socialising beckons with the run-up to Christmas and New Year.

Some herbs directly reduce the amount of anxiety-inducing cortisol circulating in the body, whilst others switch specific chemical production pathways that increase or decrease undesirable mood changes. Which, if positively handled, can help you manage your stress responses.
