Calafornian Poppy...???
Californian poppy has been used as a sedative and hypnotic for children where there is overexcitability and sleeplessness. It is a hypnotic in the sence that it prepares you for peaceful sleep, reduces sleeping problems, particularly nighmares, sleep walking and difficulties falling asleep. It can also be used as an anti-spasmodic remedy.
Nerve tonic -
It is not a narcotic, in fact, rather than disorientating the user, it tends to normalise psychological function. Calafornia poppy's gentle antispasmodic, sedative, and analgestic effects make it a valuable herbal remedy for treating physical and psychological problems in children. California poppy may also prove beneficial in attempts to overcome bedwetting, difficulty sleeping, and nervous tention and anxiety.
So whether you struggle with:
- Stress
- Nervous tention
- Insomnia
- Muscle relaxant
- Anti-anxiety
- Hyperactivity
- Analgestic (pain relief)
It is defenitly worth your while to give it a try!!

BEAT colds and flu this Winter
Enhances immune function – increases the production of white blood cells as well as stimulating activation of the white blood cells. In addition boosting the production of various immune-potentiating compounds, enhancing alternate complement pathway which enhances the migration of the white blood cells tho the areas of infection and reducing hyaluranidase (a compound which allows infection to spread).
Elderberry
Oral administration of elderberry extract reduces the duration of flu from 6 days to 48 hours. Elderberry inhibits DNA replications and thus this herb is also useful in non-flu viruses.
Olive Leaf Extract
Has powerful anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. Acts as an antibiotic and is excellent in lowering fevers.
Vitamin C
Often called the master immune nutrient, because of its essential role in immune function. It reduces the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms and may reduce the risk of catching a cold. Vitamin C increases white blood cell function, interferon production and antibody activity.

Green POWER
Why do you need Green Power?
Pollution. Urbanisation. Over-farming. Industrialisation. These disturbing symptoms of modern human life have led to an even more disturbing deterioration in the quality of our soil, air and water sources. This means that the plant foods that take root in our soil (or beneath our water) are also becoming deficient in the vitamins, minerals and organic compounds they're known to contain. So even the healthiest modern diet can leave you nutritionally short-changed.
Most human diseases and chronic conditions are caused or exacerbated by a deficiency in vital nutrients. But when you supply your body with the nutrients it needs in a form that is easily absorbed and utilised, your body knows how to repair itself. That's the thinking behind The Real Thing Green Power.
This supplement is designed to deliver a smorgasbord of nutrients, in a natural, organically grown, bioavailable form. It's a powerful way to fill in nutritional gaps and give your body the boost it needs.
Soil - ORGANIC essential oils
We stock the soil range. Essential oils, massage oils and hydrosols.
SOil essential oils are all certified organic. This means that the herbs, shrubs and other plants that give us our oils are grown on land that is not exposed to herbicides, pesticides and other harmful chemicals. The international organic standards also require that we use only stainless steel vessels to distill the plant matter, ensuring the oils don’t react with the vessels as they would with other metals. This together with the low pressure distillation methods we apply ensure our oils are therapeutic grade.
