A New Year Reset

Thursday 9 January

A new year so time for a reset and to discover the magical world of herbs

The early part of the year is a quieter time for many of us – and there’s never been a better time to discover the magical world of herbs!

Barbara Wilkinson is a Medical Herbalist and is Trustee of The Herb Society and joins us on the first Thursday of each month.

In this edition of Herbs with Barbara the message is all about having a reset and changing the way you think of food.

By planning ahead and taking a bit more time in the kitchen, it’s perfectly possible to eat healthily – and without a ready meal in sight.

Even organic produce (which is generally better for you) can be affordable – or even free if you grow it yourself!

Eyebright

In this edition, we also talk about the herb Euphrasia officinalis – also known as Eyebright, which has long been used in herbal medicine to treat eye conditions.

Fire Cider

A new year and the old favourite Fire Cider is back!

This potent cider is based on Apple Cider Vinegar which has been infused with a number of botanicals to really pack a punch.

It’s an acquired taste, especially neat – but you can use it diluted as a general health tonic or better still, drizzled over a winter salad to help boost your immune system!
