Kitchen herbs

Balance starts in the kitchen.

These are herbs and spices many UK kitchens already have. They belong in meals, not in a medical protocol.

On the shelf

Use what you already cook with.

A varied diet matters more than any single spice. These notes are general information.

If you are pregnant, on medication, or managing a health condition, check with a pharmacist or GP before using herbs in large amounts.

Herbs you already cook with.
01

Basil

A familiar leaf for cooking. Some people also enjoy it in tea. It is not a treatment for hair or stress.

02

Ginger

Often used in cooking and warm drinks. It can be part of a meal. It does not cure indigestion.

03

Turmeric

A common spice for colour and flavour. Use it in food. It is not a medicine on this site.

04

Fenugreek

A seed used in cooking. Any strong or daily use, especially in pregnancy, should be discussed with a clinician.
