Embrace the Power of Herbs: Celebrating Herbal Medicine Week here at Karrinyup Wellness Centre (27th October – 3rd November 2024).
Whether enjoying herbs fresh, dried, as tonics or as herbal teas, herbal medicine has been celebrated for centuries for their health-boosting properties.
1. Fresh Herbs: Adding Flavour and Nutrition to your meals
Fresh herbs are not only a feast for the senses, but they also pack a nutritional punch. Herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and can help enhance digestion and reduce inflammation. Adding fresh herbs to your meals elevates both flavour and health, making your dishes vibrant and nutritious.
Growing herbs at home in your garden has added benefits – it can be an easy yet beautiful way to spend more time outside, which can support healthy Vitamin D levels, reduce feelings of stress and even improve your sleep through regulating your circadian rhythm.
2. Herbal Teas: A Soothing Experience
Herbal teas are a delightful way to enjoy the benefits of herbs, with many different benefits including for relaxation, digestion, and sleep. Chamomile is known for its calming properties, while peppermint can help soothe an upset stomach. With endless varieties available, there’s a herbal tea to suit every mood and need!

Here at the Karrinyup Wellness Centre, we will have herbal tea’s on offer all week so you can try some new blends! Make sure to give our free samples a try, they’ll be available in our reception area from the 27th October – 3rd November.
3. Liquid Herbal Extracts: Potent Healing
Liquid tonics/tinctures are our most concentrated form of herbs – they allow for easy absorption and can target specific health concerns, from stress relief to immune support.
Here at the Karrinyup Wellness Centre, we have a wide range of liquid herbs which our naturopaths use to create individualised herbal medicine for you, depending on your health concerns – some examples of herbs we stock include astragalus, withania, echinacea, passionflower and lion’s mane.
For those that don’t like taking liquids, we also have many herbal formulas available in tablets and capsules, to make it easier for you to take your herbs!
Happy Herbal Week!
