I have always been amazed by the power of plants and their ability to soothe and heal.

When I was training to be a dancer in the nineties, I would often give my sore feet a warm foot bath with lavender from the garden and a handful of chamomile tea bags!

During my time studying and working in France, I was captivated by the constant presence of herbs in everyday life; in the cuisine, the markets, the 'herboristeries', and of course the aromatic infusions - the tisanes....

Over the last 20 years, life and its punches have spurred me to dive deeper into the study and practice of medicinal herbs, and I have experienced life-changing relief - physically, mentally and emotionally.

In 2002, I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis, and for the best part of ten years, I fought hard to hide it from everyone- including myself. As my relapses became more frequent and my scan results revealed further degeneration, I was put on a series of disease modifying treatments, and I feel very grateful to have had access to cutting-edge drugs aimed at halting the progression of the disease. However, my body still struggles to manage everyday symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, headaches and compromised immunity.

In combination with yoga, breath work and meditation, I have found that taking herbal infusions on a regular basis has made a dramatic improvement to my health and wellbeing. Instead of relying on artificial highs from sugar and caffeine, these herbal blends ensure that my nervous system is regulated, and my energy and mood is stable. I feel a greater sense of emotional and mental resilience, have had fewer infections, and experience improved concentration as well as more restful sleep.

The ritual of making and taking time to enjoy herbal infusions is part of my conscious decision to live mindfully, be kind to myself, and appreciate the wonderful botanical pharmacy that the natural world can offer.
