🐊“Crocodile skin” can happen at any time of year, especially after winter. Upcycle your kitchen scraps into three divine body scrubs that are guaranteed to give your lacklustre skin a lift.

Need to soothe a cough? Try this simple recipe (link in bio). Honey 🍯 and onion 🧅 have been used across almost all cultures for centuries to soothe coughs and treat minor respiratory infections. More recently scientists have been studying honey and conclude “Honey is more effective than usual care alternatives for improving URTI symptoms, particularly cough frequency and cough severity.” 👉Head over the the blog to learn more and find all the references! How do you soothe a cough?

Create this really simple spreadable, naturally fermented milk kefir cheese! Soft milk kefir cheese (also called milk kefir labneh) is a tangy soft, spreadable cheese with a fresh, clean flavour. You make it by straining fermented milk kefir to remove most of the whey. The remaining curds are then condensed to form cheese. What’s more, it’s a great source of protein, minerals, and probiotic microbes. Pop over to the blog for a super simple step-by-step recipe. Have you made it before??

☀️Sliding into the last moments of Natural Medicine Week to celebrate spices - the healthy flavour bombs you have in your pantry. Earthy, warm, and slightly bitter, turmeric looks like a ray of sunshine. The health benefits of turmeric (Curcuma longa) are well known. But how do you get more into your diet? Turmeric Paste!

Foxglove (Digitalis spp). An old remedy with a narrow therapeutic window, meaning there is little room for error in dosing, a smidge too much and it is poison. NOT used as a home remedy anymore after numerous fatalities. A source of compounds called cardiac glycosides, isolated and used in pharmaceuticals for cardiovascular disease, such as digoxin. Such elegance as they reach for the sky, and an absolute magnet for pollinators.

Herbaceous water kefir second ferment. Heavy on camphorous rosemary, sunny sweetness of orange and subtle blueberries give it a beautiful hue. One day in and super fizzy with all the added wild microbes 🧡⁣. After training the grains from a first ferment of water kefir, flavourful, aromatic herbs, spices and fruits can amp up the taste and the fizz when added for a day or two for a second ferment. Do you second ferment??
