Herbs for Healthy Ageing

Rebecca Traylen,

Ageing is a natural part of life that comes with its own set of challenges, including chronic conditions, reduced energy levels, and skin changes. But what if you could age more gracefully with the help of nature's pharmacy?

Ageing is a natural part of life that comes with its own set of challenges, including chronic conditions, reduced energy levels, and skin changes. But what if you could age more gracefully with the help of nature's pharmacy?

Herbs have been the cornerstone of natural medicine for centuries, offering a myriad of health benefits without the long list of side-effects commonly associated with synthetic drugs. 

The Top Herbs for Healthy Ageing

Turmeric

Curcumin, the active component in turmeric, is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

It has been studied for its potential to combat chronic conditions like arthritis and heart disease. Some research even suggests that it could play a role in preventing age-related cognitive decline.

We recommend Napiers Organic Turmeric Gold Alcohol Free Tincture Drops. They are a convenient way to ensure a high-quality therapeutic dose of turmeric, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Ginseng

Ginseng is renowned for its adaptogenic properties, which means it helps the body adapt to stress, a critical factor in mental health as we age.

Korean Red Ginseng, in particular, has shown promise in boosting energy levels and enhancing cognitive function in older adults.

We recommend Napiers Korean Red Ginseng Tincture. Extracts such as tinctures or essences offer a convenient alternative to herbal teas. 

Ashwagandha

 

Ashwagandha
Another potent adaptogen, Ashwagandha has shown promise in reducing cortisol levels, the stress hormone that can wreak havoc on your body as you age.

 

It's also been studied for its potential benefits in improving sleep quality, another common concern among older adults.

In addition to stress and sleep management, Ashwagandha has also been researched for its potential to increase muscle mass and strength, making it an excellent choice for older adults looking to maintain physical vitality.

We recommend Napiers Ashwagandha Root Tincture, as an easy way to incorporate this herb into your routine. Take up to 5 ml, 3 times a day in a little water, unless otherwise told by a qualified herbal medicine practitioner. 

Black Cohosh

 

Black Cohosh is a go-to remedy for hormonal imbalances, especially during menopause. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. While not a direct substitute for oestrogen, it does interact with serotonin receptors to help regulate body temperature and mood.

 

We recommend Napiers Midlife Mix. This herbal blend has been formulated by herbalists specifically to support those experiencing menopause symptoms.

Ginkgo Biloba

 

Best known for its potential to enhance memory and cognitive function, Ginkgo Biloba improves blood flow to the brain and acts as an antioxidant.

 

Some studies suggest it may help improve symptoms of dementia and other cognitive impairments.

Additionally, Ginkgo Biloba is often recommended for improving eye health, as it enhances blood flow to the eyes and may help counteract age-related macular degeneration.

Our Napiers Organic Ginkgo Leaf Alcohol Free Tincture Drops are a convenient way of adding Gingko into your routine.

    Consulting a Healthcare Professional

    We always recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before embarking on any new herbal regimen. This is especially important if you are currently taking medications or have pre-existing medical conditions. Why not book a free 15 minute consultation with one of our team of passionate practitioners? With an understanding of your unique needs, they can recommend the right herbs for you.
