In the Victorian era, both wild primroses and violets were regularly made into Spring herbal teas for their tonic, healing effects. They were especially popular for children, but adults also appreciated fresh primrose herb tea (leaves and flowers), which has calming biochemistry, helping with insomnia and headaches.

Bedtime Bay Leaf Tea?
I love cooking with fresh bay leaves and a tiny amount goes a long way. In the Summer, it is also helpful for disarming any gut bacteria that are predisposed to multiply in the hotter weather.
Yet it has another surprising use that puts it in the category of other highly fragrant herbs like lavender, basil and coriander, which is the presence of `linalool.` This is a biochemical compound (a terpene) that promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety and has traditionally been used to encourage sleep.
So it`s not just a digestive herb that dispels wind and bloating, it`s a calming ally too.

Here are some ways to keep your kidneys healthy with herbs and foods during the hot Summer months. 😎
Summer Food Poisoning Nausea
With high Summer temperatures, food can go off much more quickly and various bacteria will rapidly proliferate if left out.
Salmonella and E. coli can at best make you feel nauseous and at worst something much more serious.
For prevention, e.g., you`re going to a barbecue/wedding or similar, then our IntestAble Capsules (link: https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/intestable-capsules) are very good at disarming bacteria in the gut and halting the rapid growth of the bacteria. They are very useful if you start feeling sick and can avert something much more serious.
Should you get to the stage of diarrhoea ( get proper medical intervention as necessary), then our GutRest Powder (link: https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/gutrest-powder) is brilliant at both calming the diarrhoea and helping disable the bacteria.

Summer Lung Congestion
Whether it is a lingering cold, cough or excessive pollen irritation with excess mucous build-up. If you have respiratory or sinus mucous that simply won`t go away, try our Mullein & Eucalyptus Formula (link: https://shop.herbs-hands-healing.co.uk/product/mullein-eucalyptus-formula). It contains a blend of plants that will kill off any lingering infection and, most importantly, thin/liquify congested mucous and then remove it at speed.
The plant in the picture is purple-flowered horehound, known for its ability to thin and expel mucous.

Honeysuckle Flowers for Immunity
Long used as a home remedy for soothing sore throats, honeysuckle flowers are in fact a very potent immune support, an antimicrobial allrounder.
The flowers are anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal. They soothe all mucous membranes as well as the skin. It can be used internally and externally.
It`s easy to make a strong herbal tea and they are slightly sweet and fragrant.

You`ll be Cooler - If You Cool Your Liver
If our livers have a lot of work processing certain foods such as sugar, coffee, alcohol, as well as everyday duties in processing environmental toxins, medications, etc. Then, in hot weather especially, the liver will become ` overheated, which can result in making us feel hotter overall and extra tired in hotter weather.
Giving your liver a hand to help it process more efficiently can make all the difference.
Milk Thistle and other herbs work quickly and to support the liver and cool the body down.

A common Summer issue can be bladder irritation and or kidney infections as we heat up more and don’t manage to drink enough water. Often enough, there is water retention and swelling of the ankles or feet. And for some, dark or tea coloured urine, muscle twitching and cramps can be a first indication of pending kidney/bladder issues.
