#173 Herbs that Heal with Simon Mills

<p>Today on the podcast I have the pleasure of talking to Simon Mills, a complementary health pioneer from the inception of the term in 1979, and later in the fields of integrated health, selfcare and social prescription.</p><br /><p>He graduated from University of Cambridge with a degree in medical sciences and has been a herbal practitioner in Exeter since 1977. He was Special Adviser to the House of Lords Select Committee 2000 report on Complementary and Alternative Medicine.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>In 2016 he was appointed as Herbal Strategist at Pukka Herbs, leading new initiatives, clinical research, and most recently reducing antibiotic demand.</p><br /><p>Within herbal medicine, he established the first Masters programme in the USA, writing seminal textbooks, and publishing research including randomised controlled clinical trials.</p><br /><p>I never managed to source the herbs to support my liver prior to my stag party so I can’t attest to those! But I’ll be diving into www.herbalreality.com to see ways in which to increase the phytochemical diversity of my own diet.</p><br /><p>🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/thedoctorskitchen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch the podcast on YouTube here</a></p><p><strong>📱</strong><a href="https://apple.co/37PvMMX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free</a></p><br /><p>You can<a href="https://apple.co/37PvMMX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free</a> to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.
