The joys of menopause and why progesterone is so important
If you look around in the media, you might notice that articles on menopause have exploded recently. It’s not like menopause is a new thing, and if you were to really think about how many women are suffering, it’s almost as though menopause could be an illness given the many and varied symptoms it seems to bring about. But is it really menopause causing all of these issues?

Elegant, tranquil or just practical? The nature of bamboo reveals the remedy’s secrets
I once lived on a farm near Mt Warning, where a majestic clump of yellow stemmed bamboo grew up over 20 feet tall. It grew near the top of a hill, so in a storm when the big winds would rush up the valley, the bamboo would bend right over and nearly touch the ground then bend back up again. Impressive. Just watching this capacity for bending and yielding gives clues about the homeopathic remedy Bambusa arundinacea and there's a mine of other information to be gained by being near it on a daily basis. It was ever-present up the hill while I was down the hill … [Read more...] about Elegant, tranquil or just practical? The nature of bamboo reveals the remedy’s secrets

Natural Support for Tics and Tourette’s
Supporting Tourette's Naturally It was somewhat of an accident that I ended up exploring the world of natural options for tic disorders and Tourette Syndrome.

My background is focused on the homeopathic and nutritional treatment/support of children with behavioural disorders. It seemed fortuitous, then, that I was approached by one of the administrators of an online group discussing natural options for those with tics or Tourette syndrome. I was asked to give … [Read more...] about Natural Support for Tics and Tourette’s
Is it really perimenopause or is it your thyroid and Hashimoto?

You might be thinking, but Penny is a natural therapist, so surely, she has all the answers to be able to sort herself out. I may have learned a thing or two, but health is super complex and very individualised and it’s a bit of a journey … [Read more...] about Is it really perimenopause or is it your thyroid and Hashimoto?
