By Lynda Jones Leave a Comment

The NHS claim that as many as 30% of the population have a blood pressure reading above what is currently considered normal.  This reading reflects the level of pressure blood vessel walls are subjected to; the theory being the higher the level the more demand is put on ones heart and circulatory system.

By Lynda Jones 1 Comment

Isn’t it wonderful to wander around at this time of year and see the beautiful fragrant plants on display in the gardens and countryside?  The nurseries, garden centres, DIY shops and even the supermarkets have a good range of fresh herbs and flowers in full bloom.

Whilst many people know the culinary uses of commonly sold fresh herbs I thought it would be good this month to talk about their medicinal qualities too.  A word of warning though, do please ensure you have the specific variety to which I am referring – simply check the labels just to make certain.

Migraine – The Herbal Approach

By Lynda Jones 6 Comments

We all know somebody who suffers from migraine. We hear stories of hours in a dark room with flashing lights, horrific pain and vomiting. Those of you who have migraine attacks know all too well how disabling they can be. My patients tell me that the tablets available to alleviate an attack are, all too often limited or not effective at all. [Read more…] about Migraine – The Herbal Approach
