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.

Willow, our Pain Friend
Willow leaves have long been used as a home remedy for pain relief and assisting sleep, due to their low levels of salicin. Equally, they are rich in antioxidants/antinflamatory compounds that also lower pain levels.

Perhaps less known is that their Spring leaves contain high levels of Vitamin C ( brew as tea and drink)

Our Waterway Wonder
Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) is a common sight in Norfolk, where I live and a wildlife favourite.

It is the cousin of boneset, more commonly found growing wild in America. As herbalists, boneset is a very important fever plant which we used a lot during COVID and still do for flu blends ongoingly.

It`s an important plant because it is particularly good for very strong fevers and painful aching bones. (Common name: Breakbone Weed)

Purple Fruit is The Best
Purple fruits (plus red to some extent) have the highest amount of anthocyanins, which are a particularly strong and potent antioxidant.

As you`ll know, antioxidants critically help reduce inflammation overall and support better metabolic health in general. This aids most organs, systems and conditions, including brain health, blood sugar issues, the heart and more.

Ancient Herb for Women of All Ages
Agnus castus seeds are the miracle plant for so many situations for women of all ages.
From lowered fertility levels to difficult monthly cycles, many gynaecological issues and the menopause.
Agnus castus helps normalise the pituitary gland`s hormonal signalling. Often altering excesses of oestrogen.

Here it is growing in the UK. It is otherwise indigenous to the hotter climates of southern Europe.
