At Bramble & Iris we use centuries old herbal traditions backed up by contemporary botanical science and research.
By addressing the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit, herbal medicine encourages a more balanced, centred and resilient way of living.
Herbalists understand that the systems of the body work together to create balance and so carefully selected herbs can nourish and strengthen multiple systems at once. This gentle yet effective approach makes herbal medicine a powerful ally for those seeking sustainable, long-term wellness.
We meticulously select herbs that harmonize with your body's natural rhythms and each herbal formula is designed specifically for you, not as a one-size-fits-all remedy.
Beyond physical health, herbal medicine plays a meaningful role in supporting the mind and spirit. Many herbs are known for their calming or uplifting properties, helping to ease stress, improve mood and promote mental clarity.
Rituals such as herbal teas, tinctures, essential oils and botanical essences can also create moments of mindfulness, grounding individuals in the present and fostering a deeper connection to themselves and nature.
Getting to Know the Herbs
As part of my training as a Herbalist there was a deep study of each of the herbs in my Materia Medica. This included drawing each one by hand to understand all the plant parts and how they work together, where the plant grows, how to harvest with care and how each plant tells us of its healing qualities.
Whilst botanical drawing is not my strongest skill, it is important to share with you the depth of my study of medicinal herbs.
Harvesting, drying and making Herbal Medicine
Here at Bramble & Iris we are very lucky to have the space to grow medicinal herbs on our smallholding.
We aslo have amazing healing wild plants to forage from the woodlands, steams and hedgerows around us!
Each year I harvest, dry and make herbal remedies from what is around me, organic and wild!
