<![CDATA[The Foxglove Apothecary - News]]>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:00:07 +0100Weebly<![CDATA[Workshops and May News]]>Tue, 05 May 2026 09:48:34 GMThttps://www.foxgloveapothecary.co.uk/news/workshops-and-may-newsSo far this year we’ve met some lovely groups of people through our workshops, at The Yoga Factory Wellness Lounge & the Awakened Solutions Group at The Balmoral Centre. Our mission is to continue bringing herbalism to forefront in the community and to help people learn & benefit from the vast support herbal medicine offers. In keeping with this we strongly believe the craft of herbalism belongs to everyone and choosing to authentically connect with it is as individual as the clothes we wear. No judgement, no imposter thoughts, just working with our individual herbal reality.

The Hawthorn bushes and trees are bursting with scented blossom that you can gather to make a gentle syrup or a tincture packed with heart protecting & healing goodness. Hawthorn helps the heart function more efficiently, protects from plaque build up and helps shift emotional energy from the heart, so it’s a lovely plant spirit medicine. Gathering her berries later in the year to dry or make remedies from utilises the other side of Hawthorns powerful medicine and herbalists often use the two in combination for full spectrum Hawthorn properties. 

As well as individual consultations we encourage, share and teach our knowledge through talks and workshops to help people connect with the craft of herbalism. We’ve had a lot of interest in the workshops and have a few new dates for anyone interested in getting actively involved here at the Apothecary.
