Calendula is one of my loved herbs for many reasons, traditionally used in wound healing and mucous membrane support, used topically and internally. I feel like I’ve been reaching for it a little extra in clinic lately, to really support lymphatic flow in the body.

This is one plant that I used to grow in my garden, not only because the bright yellow/orange flowers bring me joy (herbalist Chris Hafner describes Calendula as “herbal sunshine”) but also because it has so many uses! I still have some dried flowers that I use for tea at home and seeds that I will be planting soon!

Let’s be so for real for a second, I’m sure there are actually many things we would talk about that I found clinically relevant that you may dismiss as nothing, these are my top picks.

Waking up at the same time every night or early morning, especially when paired with a consistent energy crash. It shows me there could be insulin sensitivity or a possibly slightly sluggish organ when comparing to TCM organ and energy meridian clock.

Waking up tired but feeling wired later in the day at bed time. Is it cortisol? Is it an adrenal insufficiency? Nonetheless, these leads to a lot more questions.

Do you feel completely evacuated when you go to the bathroom? How many pieces of stool do you generally pass? This gives me some insight into your digestion, and then answers will lead to more questions too.

Getting sick often but especially when on break or holidays or specifically school holidays as a teacher etc. This leads me to suspect your immune system has been pulling energy from somewhere else, the moment you slow down, your body realises what’s been going on and realises it can’t keep up with your pace.

These are just some of the things that catch my attention, and I’m not even at the part of the consult where I ask you to stick out your tongue so I can look at it 👅🔍!!!!!

Would you believe me if I told you these are the leaves of the oldest tree on earth? Literally a living fossil, unchanged for more than 200 million years! 😱

Commonly found in in Chinese and Japanese gardens as an ornamental tree, Ginkgo has so many medicinal applications.

Ginkgo is valued for its nootropic actions but also its vasoprotection and its work as a venotonic. It’s indicated for use in Alzheimers, atherosclerosis, circulatory issues, dementia, DVT prophylaxis, memory and concentration, mental exhaustion and many other conditions too ⚡️⚡️

The past month in clinic has looked a bit like this.

Sometimes it’s about peeling back the layers, sometimes other issues become clearer once they have the space to present themselves.

No one body system acts alone, there is a relationship throughout – gut affecting hormones, hormones affecting gut, gut affecting immunity and so on.

As symptoms improve and we begin to uncover the root of your concerns, you can expect to see improvements holistically, as everything is interrelated.

Most people do report stress, often exacerbated by their other present symptoms, and again tied to different body systems.

That’s where I come in.
I go over all the body systems, your medical history, your diet and lifestyle and then with you, piece together the puzzle to get you feeling your best.
