You know that feeling when it’s finally evening, everyone’s been fed, everything’s done… and you realise you haven’t had a single moment to yourself all day? 🫠
Especially in your 40s, when your energy isn’t always what it used to be.
One of my favourite things about herbal medicine is that it doesn’t always have to mean capsules, tinctures or complicated routines.
Sometimes, it starts with a beautiful cup of tea.🍵
But there’s actually some fascinating botanical knowledge behind preparing a good herbal infusion.
A LITTLE HERBALIST’S SECRET…
Those wonderful aromas you notice when you brew herbs such as rosemary, peppermint or lemon balm?
They come partly from naturally occurring aromatic oils within the plants.
And because some of these compounds are volatile, covering your infusion while it steeps helps retain more of that beautiful fragrance.
Different plants also have different traditional uses, which is why I always encourage women to learn a little about the herbs they’re choosing.
It’s these small details that make herbal medicine so interesting.
And sometimes, having a quiet moment to prepare and enjoy something lovely is exactly what makes an evening feel a little less rushed. 🤎
