Remedies for diabetes, fluid retention, high blood pressure and asthma

Burdock root has an amazing effect at balancing blood sugar levels.

Unfortunately this delicious-tasting vegetable is currently very hard to find in shops or even farmers' markets in this country. Luckily, it's one of the easiest vegetables to grow. You can buy seeds from www.seedsofchange.com and find pickled burdock in good macrobiotic shops in the UK. Also, dandelions are great from fluid retention, nettles for high blood pressure, and of course, cutting out salt and dairy wherever possible will help with your mother's blood pressure, asthma and overall health.

Further than that, I'm reticent to give advice, as I'm not a herbalist or trained medic. I strongly suggest you get in contact with a registered naturopath or nutritionist for further suggestions.

Best wishes,

Ysanne
