Heart Healthy Herbs from your garden

Heart Healthy Herbs from your garden

This Weekend we have the QLD Garden Expo at Nambour. We started going to the QLD Garden expo many years ago when Tamara talked me into it. Yes she really wanted to go and said it would be good for us.... and it is... 

Our Stall is located right next to the Cooks Garden Venue where I am presenting twice. 

On Friday afternoon at 2pm the topic is " Heart Healthy herbs from your Garden"  where we taste my top five heart healthy herbs from your Garden. I'm making a tea of each one and you get to taste the herb and get the nuances, qualities and learn about why they are so good for you! 

Then on Sunday I am presenting at 2pm again in the Cooks Garden on "Herbs from your Garden for your nervous system and emotions" Once again I am making teas and you can taste the tea of each herb we discuss. 

In these presentations I am giving you recipes for herbal teas, long fortifying infusions to add to your cooking and also how to make traditional Oxymels from your garden. 

So if you are at the Expo Please come and say hello. We have our herbal clinic operating and would love to see you! 

Heres a taste of the herb Crataegus spp Hawthorn berry. 

Cardiotonic action: Hawthorn strengthens the heart muscle and improves its efficiency, especially in cases of mild congestive heart failure or age-related decline

Blood pressure modulation: It has a balancing effect—able to gently lower high blood pressure or raise low blood pressure depending on the body’s needs.

Improved circulation: Hawthorn dilates coronary arteries, increasing oxygen delivery to the heart and relieving symptoms of angina.

Antiarrhythmic effects: It helps stabilize heart rhythm and reduce palpitations, particularly those triggered by stress.

Antioxidant protection: Rich in flavonoids like rutin and catechins, hawthorn protects blood vessels from oxidative damage and supports capillary integrity.

Emotional heart support: Traditionally used to ease grief, anxiety, and emotional heartache—making it a beautiful ally for both physical and energetic heart healing.

Come to my presentation to learn so much more and to taste this delicious organic berry tea! 

If you can't make it to the Garden expo and want to see this presentation keep your eyes on my newsletter as I will get a date together and offer as free online session for you all. 

We had loads of fun at our Winter herbal tea making workshop on Sunday. 
Thanks to everyone who came out for the afternoon. We tasted 16 different herbs and  everyone made their own bespoke tea blend. We will have another one soon as it was loads of laughs and education.
