Having a Ball

I’ve been having great fun this weekend making herb balls for customers to taste on Monday afternoon.Â

Rude Health Week begins on Monday 15th, in case you had forgotten. The Hopsack has all sorts of exciting things going on in-store during the week, including practitioners offering advice and treatments and loads of tastings.Â

The week kicks off with a herbalist/iridologist (that’s me!) from 1 to 6 pm this Monday. Hence my busyness in the kitchen today. A novel way for children and adult wusses to take herbs is in yummy snack balls. Some are made with almond butter, tahini and honey, while others are made from minced apricots, dates, raisins and walnuts. Some contain Rhodiola and bee pollen (great for stressy types), others contain Slippery Elm Bark powder (excellent for calming or stimulating the gut – the intelligence of herbs would amaze you), while still others contain a mixture of Cascara Sagrada bark powder, Turkey Rhubarb root powder, Barberry bark powder and Cramp Bark powder to keep things moving down below.  So not only do you get the herbs, but you also get a really nutritious snack too.

I’ll have tastings too, for those who dare, of Dragon Fire Super Tonic which is a wonderful way of promoting normal circulation and upper respiratory function. From cholesterol to sinusitis, this really does the business, but be warned – it’s firey stuff!

For anyone wanting a brief herbal or iridology consultation, I’ll be available between 1 and 6 pm. Do drop in.
