One of my favourite places to be; sitting by the pond in my paradise garden, listening to the sound of water, watching the goldfish gently swim, with the scent of roses in the air and the feel of the sun warming my skin.

Take a closer look at this tangle of plants and yo

Take a closer look at this tangle of plants and you can see that it is actually a healthy growth of nettles (Urtica dioica) and cleavers (Galium aparine). These common local 'weeds' both have many medicinal properties and both have a long tradition of use in Western herbal medicine. From an Ayurvedic perspective nettles are nourishing and rejuvenative and increase our ojas (vitality and joie de vivre), while cleavers are a diuretic, relieving skin conditions and enhancing lymphatic circulation.
⠀
They share the ability to remove excess kapha which can build up in the cold days of winter, and to reduce pitta and associated heat and inflammation. They are very nutritious (containing vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, tannins) and they invigorate our digestion, helping to clear accumulated ama. This makes them a fantastic combination to take when moving out of the cold winter and into the heat of spring and summer. Is it a coincidence that they are growing so well together in this hedgerow? I don't think it is!⠀
⠀
I love looking more closely at the local seasonal herbs around me and seeing how these can be used within the Ayurvedic tradition. If you are also inspired to find out a little more about the superb system of Ayurveda and how it can be followed sustainably and seasonally with local herbs, have a look at the online courses on my website learnlivingayurveda.com, both of which include details of a constitutional approach to using herbs, the herbs I find the most useful and when to use them. I have also written Dispensing with Tradition, a guide to using Indian and Western herbs the Ayurvedic way, which is available from my clinic website www.annemcintyre.com.

Look at my beautiful Schisandra chinensis flowers!

Look at my beautiful Schisandra chinensis flowers! Over the course of the next few months these will slowly develop into a multitude of vibrant red berries that I can pick in the autumn. I love this plant, it is a wonderful rejuvenative and adaptogen and also calms the mind and lifts the spirits. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is known as wu wei zi or 'fruit of five flavours' because it has five out of the six tastes (sour, salty, bitter, sweet and pungent) and it is one of the 50 fundamental TCM herbs. From an Ayurvedic perspective it balances all three doshas, enhances our immunity and has a protective effect in the lungs - which is extremely useful for us all right now!⠀
⠀
Schisandra is native to Northern China, North America and Eastern Russia and so grows well in my fairly exposed garden. The vine itself is quite woody and vigorous and only the fruits and seeds are used for medicinal purposes. Research has found that the berries and seeds of Schisandra contains lignans, polyphenolic compounds which have been studied for their health benefits. Diets high in plants lignans may reduce hormone asociated cancers, and have been shown to reduce the incidence of diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels such as atherosclerosis and strokes.⠀
