Even doctors are acknowledging that gut health is pivotal to your wellbeing

ByJen

I always read a particular medical newsletter to keep up with what doctors are talking about in health.

It was MOST validating to read a headline about “How the Future of Medicine Will Revolve Around Our Gut”.

Of course, the article then went on to talk about how they are developing drugs to improve gut health – which I suppose is how drug companies and doctors think…

“I am convinced in the future our medicine cabinets are going to have not just medications like a statin for treating us, but [also] pills that treat and inhibit an enzyme in our microbes and elicit a health benefit in some chronic disease”

Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD, co-section head of Preventive Cardiology & Rehabilitation and director of the Center for Microbiome & Human Health at Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.

    Food and medicine Foraging: Warragul greens & Sage

    ByJen

    Warragul Greens loves some sunshine and thrives on moisture. You can train it up and over fences too.
    Next you can see Common Sage or Salvia officinalis. ‘Officinalis’ means this is the official species used botanical/herbal medicine.
    Commonly used in cooking, sage helps ensure digestive processes work well: especially to muster our bile flow to break down consumed fats/oils. You can use sage fresh or dried for later use.
    In herbal medicine sage has a broad sphere of action: antimicrobial (including antiviral) taken as a tea and/or gargle/mouthwash; improving cognition and memory, reduces excess perspiration (sweating) in fevers or during menopause, reduces milk flow in weaning mothers. Commonly used in upper respiratory tract infections like sore throat and sinus issues.
    For best effect and safety of any herbal medicine you must consult a Practitioner to guide you on the most appropriate dose and preparation FOR YOU . Generally sage in its basic leaf form for cooking or tea is considered a very low risk herb. Easy to grow from cuttings. Let me know if you’d like to give it a go to grow. I have plenty to share. This plant has travelled around our garden for about 25 years!

The prescription was from a specialist, not just a GP.  On inquiry,…
