Celebrating Herbal Medicine Week
Herbal Medicine holds a very special place in my heart and my life experiences. Nature provides herbs to support our health and wellbeing in so many ways.
How herbs have helped me through the many different stages of my life:
- During the final stages of pregnancy to nourish and support my body, labour and post partum care.
- To restore and strengthen my body after burnout and to calm my nervous system when I was feeling overwhelmed.
- To support my immune system during infections. Personally, I recover within a few days.
- More recently supporting myself through perimenopause and menopause.
Studying Herbal Medicine while pregnant
One of my favourite memories was when I was 39 weeks pregnant with our first son at the end of 1996. I was relieved to have completed my very last Herbal Medicine assignment. I said “Okay bubba, I am ready for you now, I have finished my herbal assignment.”
I was woken with contractions at about 1am that very next morning. On the way to hospital I asked my husband to drive me to Perth Academy of Natural Therapies (while I was in labour) to hand in my herbal assignment.
Now that is dedication!
Gratitude for my love of herbs everyday at work and home
Fast forward 29 years and my love of herbs is still weaved into my life in unexpected ways.
- Including our herb and vegetable garden that brings our family the daily joy of being in nature. The vivid coloured herbal flowers: orange calendula, purple sage and white/yellow chamomile. The aromas that fill the air as you brush past and pick the basil, sage or rosemary. The taste and vitality of the herbs in our salads, teas and cooking.
- It is with deep gratitude that I can share my knowledge, skills and most importantly joy of creating a herbal tonics for those I work with. They are specifically blended based on what support their body needs at the time.
I am sure that the care, love and excitement I feel gets poured into their special herbal blend.
