I love chatting with Simon Mills, he has a wonderful breadth of knowledge across the huge spectrum of different herbs and spices. And he can talk eloquently and sensitively about them, in a manner respectful of both the traditional beliefs and uses of them, as well as the science that may or may not support their claims.Today we talk about the use of spices and what extra benefits they may be adding to our diets beyond simply “antioxidants”.We talk about bitters and tonics and why they may work.We explore how spices may impact our gut microbiota and potentially influence their health benefits.Rosemary and sage on the brain, ginger for colds and how traditional antiseptics worked.Simon Mills is a University of Cambridge graduate in medical sciences who has been a herbal practitioner in Exeter UK since 1977. He has been a complementary health pioneer from the inception of the term in 1979, and later in the fields of integrated health, selfcare and social prescription.
