Homeopathy for Waterlogged Plants and Gardens

By Leave a Comment

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 maintenance and water wise. My garden is on a steeply sloping site of minimal soil and … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for Waterlogged Plants and Gardens

The benefits of a natural raw dog food diet

By Leave a Comment

Luna☺ So, recently I gave the green light for my son to get a dog. While she is “his” dog, Luna has joined our family and our home and she is absolutely gorgeous. Even though my 20 year old son is pretty good at being responsible for her, I also can’t help taking on the job. This is a job which I am passionate about, making sure she is getting the healthiest and most nutritional start to life. I wanted to make sure we have the best dog food for her. What does a primarily raw dog food diet look like? How different is puppy food? You know that feeling when you … [Read more...] about The benefits of a natural raw dog food diet

Lectins: The surprise hidden danger in your healthy diet?

By Leave a Comment

Arthritis, heart disease, weight gain and leaky gut It’s not all in your head… It’s all in your gut!! Beans, legumes and cashews are good for us, right? They contain protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. But they also contain large amounts of ‘anti-nutrients’ called lectins. Lectins are the protective part of these plant-based foods and they are highly toxic to insects and animals. They are designed to paralyse insects that are trying to eat them so that they can grow and thrive. So why are Lectins considered one of the biggest hidden dangers in your 'healthy' … [Read more...] about Lectins: The surprise hidden danger in your healthy diet?

CURE, A Journey into the science of mind over body: Book Review

By Leave a Comment

Cure? As a homeopath, I was hooked from the first page. Jo Marchant mentions chatting to another mum who spoke highly of how homeopathic remedies cured her child’s eczema. Marchant’s reaction was that ‘Homeopathy is effectively nothing more than water in fancy bottles’ to which the other mother’s retort was ‘nothing measurable.’  Those words were the turning point for Jo Marchant and the beginning of her research into what cure really is and the world of mind, body medicine for this book. CURE A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body The book begins with … [Read more...] about CURE, A Journey into the science of mind over body: Book Review

Homeopathy for Plants

By Leave a Comment

Last year a friend of mine travelled overseas for an extensive time and left with me her potted plants, including her orchid collection. She is what I term “The Orchid Whisperer”. Magnificent orchids of all varieties thrived and flowered throughout the year in her home. To say I was nervous was an understatement. My main experience with orchids was maintaining the life of cut orchids in the vase, which I achieved quite successfully. Time passed and the orchids were flowering beautifully, new growth even appeared! But one day I noticed black spots on the leaves … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for Plants

Book review: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering

By Leave a Comment

I would like to recommend to all pregnant mums-to-be, Dr Sarah Buckley's book: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering. It is a Doctor's guide to natural childbirth and gentle early parenting choices. Sarah is a trained family physician/GP and mother of four. Without telling you what to do, Sarah outlines many issues that need to be addressed prior to labour. She gives an unbiased view and offers possible options. Her section on the third stage of labour is absolutely wonderful. So often, a natural third stage is very unrecognised, undermined, and speeded up in a … [Read more...] about Book review: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering
