From Fatigue to Recovery: Exploring the Potential of IV Vitamin Therapy

By

IV vitamin therapy is a popular choice in integrative clinics, focusing on the root cause of a condition. It is used to support hydration, nutrient replenishment, recovery, immune function and overall wellbeing. As a university-trained naturopath and registered nurse, I believe it is important to discuss both the potential benefits and the evidence behind intravenous nutrient therapy in a balanced and evidence-informed way. Unlike oral supplements, intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants directly into the … [Read more...] about From Fatigue to Recovery: Exploring the Potential of IV Vitamin Therapy

Homeopathy for Waterlogged Plants and Gardens

By 26 Comments

This blog was written by homeopath Jacqui Harrison before she retired from HHC: I have become a homeopathic gardener. I have been dabbling for years, but the COVID lockdown has given me the motivation to get into my plant and vegetable garden with homeopathic texts in hand, to sort out some pest problems, nutrient deficiencies, and experiment with a few homeopathic hacks to find the agrohomeopathy remedies to match my needs. I am a Darwinian gardener by nature, where the rule is survival of the fittest, with a strong leaning towards plants that are low … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for Waterlogged Plants and Gardens

GARLIC GOLD FOR HEALTH

By 6 Comments

Chop, chew or crush your garlic for maximum immune support If you are into FOOD AS MEDICINE then garlic is GOLD for health benefits. Garlic has been used both as a food and a medicine since the ancient Greeks. We know, because they wrote about garlic’s benefits even then. The Egyptians kept their workers on the job by using garlic to increase resistance to infection and also used it topically to prevent wound infection. These antibacterial (antimicrobial) properties were later proved scientifically by Louis Pasteur. Traditional use records garlic as useful in … [Read more...] about GARLIC GOLD FOR HEALTH

If you are a mum who has been told that breastfeeding will ruin your child’s teeth, you are not alone. Many parents hear this from well-meaning health professionals, including dentists.

In fact, research shows it may actually help protect your child’s teeth, especially during the first year of life.

Importance of iron for our well-being

By

Why do we need iron? Approximately 1.1 million Australians are iron deficient. Without adequate iron, the body can struggle to produce enough healthy red blood cells, which can result in reduced oxygen delivery and iron-deficiency anaemia causing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness and shortness of breath. Results show that 35% of Australian women who are pregnant have anaemia, which is increased to 50% among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Iron is a vital mineral that is crucial for supporting several bodily functions such as immune … [Read more...] about Importance of iron for our well-being

The importance of Muscle Mass in menopause

By

Last year I drove all the way up to Woodford Queensland to volunteer in the homeopathy tent at the festival.  It was fantastic! But... half-way there, I had to stop for a bush-wee as I got a little caught short (‘scuse my directness, life’s too short to pussyfoot around for these things these days). That wasn’t a problem in itself. The problem I had was that back in the days when I did that kind of thing more often (ahem), I could crouch down and then get back up again no problem. This time, I got stuck. My legs were so weak, I couldn’t push myself back up to … [Read more...] about The importance of Muscle Mass in menopause

Insomnia and Homeopathy

By 1 Comment

Homeopathy, Saviour of Sleep! Who doesn’t like a good nights sleep? Wrapped up all nice and cosy, especially on a cold winter’s night; it makes one’s eyelids feel all heavy just thinking about a beautiful, soft pillow and deliciously warm covers. But for those suffering from insomnia, often the mere thought of some shut-eye fills them with a sensation closer to dread. Many insomniacs liken their inability to sleep as torture. Lying for hours alone in the dark with nobody but your own thoughts for company can make time feel very long. There’s no escape, unless … [Read more...] about Insomnia and Homeopathy
