Are all Comfrey plants equal in herbal medicine? No. And here's why. One of the most common varieties of comfrey seen in British gardens is a hybrid, and it is more dangerous than the medicinal variety. Learn about the differences with me in this completely off the cuff video!

The magnificence of wild violet - or dog violet - growing on the woodland floor. These shade loving shrinking violets are really useful nervine herbs - they're gentle sedatives and important plant allies as a psycho spiritual key. They are also important herbs in supportive treatment of cancer. One of my core 'essential' herbs in the dispensary. I'll be talking about these important herbs soon! Watch this space!

This is Coltsfoot - Tussilago farfara. It is one of my favourite herbs, and it just got useful. Coronavirus has been getting a lot of attention - it is dangerous because it fills the lungs with mucus. Tussilago is useful because it eases coughs at the same time as thinning mucus down and encourages its expulsion from the lungs.

If you have any health concerns, please ring me on 01286 865883 / 07989325028 or message me.

The other day I was peeling bark from lengths of Willow - and I peeled almost a kilogram of bark. It is used extensively in my anti-inflammatory, arthritis, joint pain/mobility, and muscle ache mixes.
