Nutrition - Therapeutic properties of Herbs & Spices

Course intent

Our kitchen cupboards hold a wide range of herbs and spices we can add to our meals, yet we often only use a few. When we're unwell, we rarely think to our spice rack for support. But as Socrates once said, 'Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,' a reminder that simple ingredients can have powerful benefits
