Doctor's Hair Secret

Did you know that peppermint is one of the most extensively studied medicinal herbs, with dozens of potential uses?

Here are some of our favourites:

• Hair growth: Peppermint oil has been shown in studies to stimulate hair growth, increasing hair follicle number, follicle depth and dermal thickness, better than 2% minoxidil. This is one of the reasons it is a hero ingredient in our Doctor’s Secret Hair Growth Oil.

• Digestive health: Peppermint tea may help relieve bloating, indigestion and abdominal discomfort, making it one of the most widely used herbal remedies for digestive symptoms.

• Mental focus: The aroma of peppermint has been associated with improved alertness, concentration and reduced mental fatigue.

• Headaches: Peppermint oil applied topically may help relieve tension-type headaches through its cooling and analgesic effects.

• Natural insect deterrent: Peppermint oil has demonstrated repellent activity against a range of insects and is also commonly used to discourage mice from entering homes.

• Respiratory comfort: The menthol in peppermint creates a cooling sensation that many people find soothing during colds and upper respiratory infections.

• Antimicrobial properties: Peppermint contains bioactive compounds with antibacterial and antifungal activity in laboratory studies.

We’re starting to think that good hair is a superpower.

Is it just us, or do some of the world’s best footballers also have the best hair?

Who have we missed off the list?

My David Austin roses are finally in full bloom; they’re the Roald Dahl variety for those interested!

There was a long time where there wasn’t much to see. There is nothing like gardening to cultivate patience. I trusted that if I focused on healthy foundations over months, eventually I would be rewarded.

Real transformations take time and consistent routine - so does your hair.

Summer is a season of growth.
For gardens, for wildflowers and for healthy hair. 🌿

We have always loved pomegranates.

We love them in art and symbolism. We love their jewel-like seeds, their sweet-tart taste and the rich ruby juice they produce. We also love the many health benefits associated with eating them.

But did you know that pomegranate can be just as remarkable for the skin?

Pomegranate seed oil is naturally rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, helping to nourish the skin, support the skin barrier and protect against environmental stressors. It is particularly valued for promoting a healthy, radiant complexion while helping skin feel soft, supple and hydrated.

It is one of the reasons we chose to include this beautiful botanical oil in our Pure Radiance Facial Elixir.

Your skin deserves the best.

We set out to make a hair growth oil and somehow it doubles up as aromatherapy too!

We love hearing how this helps your hair and we’ve had so many customers tell us that it is incredibly calming for them too.

There’s a science backed reason why people find the 100% natural scent so relaxing.

Peppermint essential oil contains menthol, which stimulates cold receptors in the nose and airways and may increase alertness and cognitive performance. Studies have found that inhaling peppermint aroma can improve attention, reaction time, memory tasks, and perceived energy levels, likely through effects on the central nervous system and increased sensory stimulation.

Lavender essential oil is rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds shown to have calming effects on the nervous system. Research suggests lavender inhalation may reduce sympathetic nervous system activity, lower feelings of anxiety, and promote relaxation by influencing neurotransmitters involved in stress and mood regulation. Clinical studies have also found benefits for sleep quality and mild anxiety symptoms.

Most people approach hair loss backwards.

They start with a shampoo, a supplement, a serum, or the latest trend they saw online. They spend months, sometimes years, trying things that do not match their biology and wondering why nothing changes.

The problem is not a lack of products.

The problem is a lack of understanding.

I wrote this handbook because I have been on both sides of the consultation room. As an NHS doctor, I spent years learning how the body works at a systems level. As someone who has experienced hair loss myself, I know how confusing, frustrating and emotionally exhausting it can be when the answers are not clear.

This 85-page handbook is my attempt to close that gap.

Inside, we start with the science of how hair actually grows before working through every major cause of hair loss, from telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia to nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes and inflammatory conditions. You will learn how to identify your own pattern, understand which factors are most relevant to you, and build a management plan based on evidence rather than guesswork.

The handbook is divided into five structured modules and includes practical worksheets designed to help you organise your symptoms and prepare for GP or specialist appointments.

This is not a book about a product.

It is a book about your hair, why you are losing it and exactly what to do next.
