...the MAGIC of roadside HERBS... - by Katrina

Driving along to work the other day it occurred to me just how many HAWTHORN berries are around at the moment in the Southern Highlands...the trees are literally full of fruit. My training as a herbalist was with the wonderful Dorothy Hall for whom HAWTHORN was a favourite - the benefits of this herb for the CARDIOVASCULAR system are many. It is always lovely to remember that many of our most useful herbs are still running wild in our towns - it is almost like they are simply calling out to be used.

Mim Beim has just released a book called "GROW your own MEDICINE" which again reminds us of the useful medicinal benefits of our everyday herbs- another wonderful resource !!

Dorothy Hall taught me and many others about the benefits of blending FLOWER ESSENCES with HERBS to provide a complete medicinal mix for the patient as a whole - treating both the physical and the emotional aspects of a patient's health. FLOWER ESSENCES can beautifully complement the qualities of our favourite HERBS and it is certainly a pleasure to work with both.

Please email me katrina@bushflowerhealing.com if you would like a consultation or further information on potential FLOWER ESSENCE combinations that can work with HAWTHORN for common CARDIOVASCULAR irregularities such as HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE - remembering we as herbalists always treat the individual.
