❄️ Cold Toes, Warm Remedy: Let’s Talk Chilblains + Ginkgo Biloba 🌬️🍃

Chilblains—those pesky, itchy, sometimes painful lumps—are your skin’s dramatic response to cold weather. They show up when blood flow to the extremities slows down, then rushes back too quickly, causing inflammation and discomfort. Think of them as winter’s way of saying “I told you to wear gloves!”

But nature has a clever counter: Ginkgo biloba.

This ancient herb, with its fan-shaped leaves and powerful antioxidants (ginkgolides and bilobalides), is known for:

• 🌿 Improving circulation to fingers, toes, and even the brain
• 🧠 Supporting memory and cognitive clarity
• 🧊 Helping ease conditions like Raynaud’s and yes—chilblains

By relaxing blood vessels and enhancing flow, Ginkgo helps your body stay warm where it counts.

💬 But here’s the important bit: Chilblains can be a sign of deeper imbalances. Nutrients like Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D also play a role in circulation and nerve health. If you’re dealing with recurring symptoms, it’s time to chat with a qualified practitioner. Self-medicating can miss the mark—let’s get it right from the root.

✨ Botanica Medica tip: Book a consult to explore holistic options tailored to your needs. Your toes (and your whole system) will thank you.

🦷 Epic Dental Xylitol Gum — A Long‑Time Staff Favourite at Botanica Medica

Fresh breath, happier gums, and daily support for your oral health.

We’ve stocked Epic Dental Xylitol Gum for many years — it’s one of those quiet favourites our team reaches for every day. If you’ve ever chatted with us about dry mouth, plaque control or gum comfort, you’ve probably heard someone mention Epic.

Epic’s gum is sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that does far more than freshen breath. It boosts saliva flow, which is incredibly protective for the mucous membranes lining your mouth — especially your gums. More saliva means better moisture, better pH balance, and better delivery of minerals that help keep gum tissue comfortable and resilient.

Xylitol also helps reduce cavity‑causing bacteria. These bacteria mistake xylitol for sugar, take it up, and end up with a digestive system full of unusable xylitol phosphate. Over time, fewer decay‑causing bacteria survive on tooth surfaces, meaning less plaque, fewer acids, and a calmer environment for both teeth and gums.

It’s a simple, safe way to support oral health between meals — especially when brushing or flossing isn’t convenient.

Epic Dental Gum has been a staff favourite for years, and it’s a great companion to your daily oral care routine.

Pop in and grab a pack next time you’re in. Your teeth and gums will thank you.

💙 Soon‑to‑Be Proud Mumma — Amber is Glowing

And yes… this won’t be the only kid in the paddock.

Amber is absolutely radiant as she and Tom prepare to welcome their little one — and we couldn’t be more excited for them. With her glowing complexion, baby bump and those sonogram photos in hand, she’s stepping into this next adventure with all the warmth, humour and heart we adore.

Amber will be finishing up with us near the end of August, so if you’d like to pop in, share some love, and wish her all the best before she heads off on this new chapter, we’d really love that. She’s been such a bright part of Botanica Medica, and we can’t wait to meet the newest little member of her growing herd.

YES, There are Tests for Osteoporosis.

This one is mainly for the ladies (mostly)???

Many people are surprised that when they are diagnosed with osteoporosis (bone thinning and breakdown), it is only done by a bone mass density scan (BMD) and that their progress is only measured by this scan (usually in 2 to 3 years time). Did you know there are blood tests that you can use to identify the causes AND, to treat AND assess progress?

Doctors don't test for this due to a lack of education in this area.

I regularly test for the following:

PTH (Parathyroid Hormone), Hormone that CAUSES bone breakdown, made by the Parathyroid gland
Beta- Crosslaps, (bone breakdown marker)
PINP (bone formation marker)
Homocysteine ( raised levels are associated with bone breakdown)
CRP/ESR (body inflammation markers)
Cortisol, DHEA ( stress, inflammation hormones)

Unfortunately most people are not tested for these, or given any guidance on how to monitor their progress.

I will focus on PTH in particular. I find it disturbing as I often find elevated (often substantially elevated) PTH. This is a cause. One reason it is not tested, is doctors are advised to only test if you have an elevated blood Calcium. But many people have a blood calcium reading within range, despite having an elevated PTH. (80% of people with elevated PTH, have normal blood calcium levels!!). Attention, elevated PTH is 4 more times common in WOMEN than MEN ! ! !

And it has been shown that an elevated PTH , with a normal blood calcium (called normocalcaemic Hyperparathyroidism), is a cause of NOT only osteoporosis, but also:

Kidney disease
Elevated blood pressure and arrythmias
Gut disturbances (constipation)
Irritability, anxiety

The job of PTH will be explained in part 2

🌿 Part 20 of 24

Good Reasons Why You May Need Nutritional Supplements

The Elderly

As we age, our nutritional needs shift — and sometimes our intake doesn’t quite keep pace. Many older adults have been shown to consume lower levels of key vitamins and minerals, especially iron, calcium and zinc, with folic acid and vitamin C often falling short too. Fibre intake can drop, and deficiencies in riboflavin (B2) and pyridoxine (B6) are not uncommon.

When these nutrients are lacking, the body can send subtle (and not‑so‑subtle) signals: changes in taste or smell, reduced digestive enzyme secretion, memory changes, or a general sense of physical slowing. These aren’t just “getting older” — they’re often signs the body isn’t receiving what it needs to function at its best.

Many people believe a well‑balanced diet provides everything required for good health. In ideal circumstances, that’s true — but modern living, changing appetites, medication interactions, reduced absorption and lifestyle factors can all make it harder to meet nutritional needs through food alone. When used appropriately, supplements can safely support dietary intake and help maintain vitality, comfort and wellbeing.

At Botanica Medica, our naturopaths are available Monday to Saturday, with some after‑hours appointments. If you feel you’re not getting the most from your diet, or your body is hinting that it needs extra nutritional support,

💛 Congratulations Amber & Tom

There’s a new little “kid” on the way — and not just the goat kind.

We’re so excited to share that Amber and Tom are expecting a baby, and the whole Botanica team couldn’t be happier for them. The photo says it all: two proud parents, one very cute sonogram, and their goats already looking ready to welcome another kid to wander the paddock.

Amber will be finishing up with us near the end of August, so if you’d like to pop in, share a hug, and wish her all the best before she heads off on this beautiful new adventure, we’d love that.

We’re going to miss her warmth, her humour, and the way she lights up the dispensary — but we can’t wait to meet the newest little member of her herd.

This is what Monique W. Had to say

“I’ve been seeing Craig as my naturopath for a while now, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly. He goes above and beyond every single time, with such genuine care and dedication. His knowledge is incredible, but what stands out even more is how much he truly listens and tailors everything to support me in the best way possible. I always leave feeling cared for, reassured, and equipped with practical steps that actually make a difference. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and supportive, Craig is the one to see.”

Thanks Monique for your heartfelt review, it is much appreciated ❤️
