✨ Organic Soap Nuts ✨ - Look what’s just arrived! You guys have been loving these clever little nuts recently. Now available in 250g bags for those who want to see what all the fuss is about and 500g bags for those who love them and want to stock up. 💚 - Wondering what’s a soap nut? Soapberries, also called soapnuts, are actually a small fruit. They are the fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree which is found naturally growing in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains.... - The skin of this fruit contains plant saponin, a totally natural gentle soap that has been used for centuries to clean skin and clothes. Saponin works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water and create a lather that lifts dirt and grease from skin, leaving it suspended in the water that is rinsed away. For laundry, this surfactant action penetrates the fibers of your clothing too, lifting stains from the fabric and washing them away with the water. - As these are 100% organic and fragrance free they are suitable for the whole family and those with sensitive skin. I like to add a few drops of DoTERRA Peppermint to mine to give a lovely scent to my washing. 💚 - #nourishinginsights #aberdeen #soapnuts #organic #plasticfree #seeninthedeen #greenliving #plantpower #smallchangesaddup

Personally, I love walking about barefoot and it’s been great this summer to enjoy warm weekends in the garden feeling the grass between my toes. I also enjoy exercising with bare feet such as Nia Dance and Yoga. 👣
This research recently published in Frontiers in Paediatrics suggests that for growing children being barefoot has beneficial affects for their motor development and in particular balancing and jumping.
““Walking barefoot is widely thought to be more natural, and... the use of footwear has long been discussed as an influencing factor on foot health and movement pattern development,” explains Professor Astrid Zech from the University of Jena, Germany, who led the study.” “Physical education classes, exercise and sport programs, and reactional activities that aim to improve basic motor skills could benefit from including barefoot activities,” says Zech. “Parents could also encourage regular barefoot time at home.”

Have you tried seaweed?
It can be used as an addition to cooked meals, salads, soups and smoothies and is packed with nutrients, antioxidants, fibre and polysaccharides to support good gut health. You may be aware of good levels of iodine and tyrosine to support healthy thyroid function and many studies indicate benefits for good cholesterol and managing blood sugar.
We are delighted to stock the Cornish seaweed company’s organic, sustainably harvested seaweed and it’s abso...lutely delicious. If you buy this one there is a nice recipe on the back for a fish curry. You could of course swap the fish for a vegetarian version if you prefer but the combination of spices will guide you to a tasty and nutrient packed meal.
We added it to our own fish curry recipe last night and loved it. It really enhanced the flavour. Our own recipe below. You can also take a look at their website for further info and a recipe page too 👏💕

'Our findings are consistent with the results of most randomized trials of long chain omega-3 fatty acid supplements in pregnancy and support the importance of ensuring adequate intake of these nutrients during pregnancy, either through fish intake or supplements, to help prevent early preterm birth.'

A wee look at some of our new additions including red lentil and pea pastas. Gluten free flours for baking, buckwheat crisp breads and lovely Cornish seaweed! 😍

Delivery day at nourishing insights!! A behind the scenes peek at what we get up to. A fun afternoon of scrubbing, cleaning and clearing the decks ready for our new products arriving and changing to window display to everything you need to get ready to go back to school :)

Sunday quiz answers...
We are still getting responses to our Sunday quiz regarding a lesser known berry in our garden. It is in fact known as a Worcesterberry. In look and taste they are a bit of a cross between a gooseberry and blackcurrant. What I love about them is that they are much sweeter than a gooseberry so for cooking require no sugar added. They also fill that blank between the raspberry and strawberry season in August and they certainly do well in the north of Scot...land!
The question remains as to whether they are a natural cross or a distinct species.....
“Worcesterberries are a cross that is presumed to have occurred naturally between gooseberries and black currants. There are two such widely known crosses: this one, which ended up looking more like a gooseberry, and Jostaberries, which ended up more like a black currant. A few sources now speculate that Worcesterberries are not just a cross that occurred naturally, but are rather a distinct species.”
Whatever they are, they are delicious antioxidant rich beauties and so easy to grow your own. We planted ours 9 years ago and look forward to a lovely crop at the end of the summer. ☀️

Just made ourselves a nice pot of tulsi tea this morning 🌸
Tulsi or holy basil is a great example of an adaptogen herb. Adaptogen herbs are quite an amazing type of healing plant which help our stress response by modulating cortisol and normalizing our physiological function.
As a family we wouldn’t want to be without our adaptogens of one sort or another. Life is very busy for all of us and although we love what we do, we are still only human and need to protect ourselves f...rom the impact of stress which can sometimes sneak up on us all in the form of a headache or a cold, to changes in bowel function or feelings of anxiety.
Holy basil is something we recommend regularly in supplement form as well as the three Tulsi tea. Incidentally, did you know that Pukka is the only company who use therapeutic grade herbs in their teas? Which is why you may find you actually feel a difference using Pukka teas! 👍
The benefits of this particular herb are many from supporting stress to the immune system and a large meta analysis looking at the safety and efficacy concluded
“ the findings from 24 human studies published to date suggest that the tulsi is a safe herbal intervention that may assist in normalising glucose, blood pressure and lipid profiles, and dealing with psychological and immunological stress. Furthermore, these studies indicate the daily addition of tulsi to the diet and/or as adjunct to drug therapy can potentially assist in prevention or reduction of various health conditions and warrants further clinical evaluation.”
It’s amazing how introducing simple changes can benefit us in ways we didn’t know! If you find this tea a little strong with the tea bag in a cup ( my younger daughter loves it that way!) just make it in a pot as I do and it’s delightful!

Sunday quiz...
Does anyone know what these lovelies are? My Sunday afternoon project to harvest these gifts of nature. ❤️🦋

🌱 Brilliant Buckwheat 🌱 - Buckwheat is a brilliant way to top up on a range of nutrients including b vitamins, zinc, manganese, iron and magnesium. Often described as a grain it’s actually a seed and much closer in its make up to quinoa than grains like wheat, barley or rye. This means it’s naturally gluten free. In addition it is lower on the glycemic index and contains much more protein than many grains. This is especially useful if you’re vegetarian or vegan as it also con...tains the essential amino acids lysine and arginine which aren’t found in many other common cereals or whole grains so getting them from buckwheat ensures you’re getting the full range of proteins your body needs. - Buckwheat has also been found to help lower inflammation and unhealthy cholesterol levels. - More benefits of buckwheat can be found here: https://draxe.com/buckwheat-nutrition/ - Why not try our buckwheat pancakes? http://www.nourishinginsights.com/…/buc kwheat-pancake-recip… - #nutrionaltherapy #foodasmedicine #buckwheat #buckwheatflour #buckwheatnoodles #buckwheatpasta #buckwheatpancakes #seeninthedeen #aberdeen #aberdeenshop #aberdeenlife

Doctors urged to prescribe arts in new £45m scheme....
“Doctors across the country are being supported to prescribe arts activities like drama, creative reading and group singing instead of anti-depressants, through a new multi-million-pound Government scheme.
The £4.5m fund will be divided between projects in 23 areas in England, with a particular focus on people who are at risk of social isolation, are impacted by health inequalities, or have complex needs. It will also aim... to support the sharing of learning between GP clinics and increase the capacity for doctors to connect with and evaluate services offered by voluntary and community providers.
The prescription of these activities, which could also include walking clubs or gardening, will aim both to improve patients’ quality of life and reduce demand on NHS services.”
I think this is a great idea snd is very much what I would encourage myself as part of lifestyle change to encourage health. What is doesn’t address is that there are many reasons for low mood and mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety and some of these are related to diet and issues around lack of specific nutrients which are required for neurotransmitter function etc. Then there are those people who have other conditions as yet undiagnosed. One of those which has implications for mood and energy is under active thyroid, an under diagnosed condition if ever there was one and many are being prescribed anti-depressants for their symptoms instead of being tested appropriately. Joining a choir may well be wonderful and health promoting on many levels but it’s not going to address the fact that some of these poor souls won’t have the energy to get to the choir in the first place. Equally, missing nutrients and poor absorption etc are always going to be there unless we address them and again are going to effect our energy and ability to follow through with social activities. In an ideal world, referral to Nutritional Therapists would be the way forward to steer people towards a more comprehensive analysis of underlying challenges which will be a more empowering and enabling force for health for all of us. Otherwise I’m delighted to see this as a step forward in the right direction.

And we’re back! Yayyyyy! What a privilege to have a job we love and live, a true vocation. Reflecting on our work a little on holiday, it struck me that for all the intense technical side to our work, detailed analysis and testing, one of the key elements in supporting health and beginning the healing process is love. That means listening, noticing, empathising, giving space for someone’s story and feelings, acknowledging them as individuals and respecting and valuing all tho...se factors which have impacted their health journey. It was lovely to come back this morning to a beautiful card from a lovely lady whose father we had the pleasure of working with, me for Nutritional support and Harriette for oncology massage. Sadly this lovely gentleman is no longer with us but we are thankful and privileged to have been able to support him. The kind words of thanks and encouragement from his daughter meant the world to us this morning as we came in to start our day, feeling refreshed from our hols. I totally believe the quote below and see its evidence all the time. It was wonderful to be on the receiving end this morning ourselves. Look forward to catching up with you all soon 💕☀️🦋

William and I both loved the Baby Massage course with Harriette. He’s starting to sleep better and thoroughly enjoys his post bath massage every night. Harriette was always on hand to offer us advice on other topics after the session, which I found particularly useful when struggling with breastfeeding. She creates a lovely relaxing environment - very important when you have a room full of babies and sleep deprived Mummy’s! Thanks again...we’ll definitely be back for our Pukka Tea and nut butter � now staples in this house when the wee man is cluster feeding!
