The Mysteries of Homeopathy and what I tell my clients

20/11/2020 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

How does Homeopathy work? One of the reasons homeopathy can be so tricky to grasp is because it requires a leap of understanding of concepts. Concepts which are outside the box of mainstream science. Many people dismiss homeopathy outright because we homeopaths use highly diluted substances of all kinds. How could anything so diluted possibly have any effect on the body? It’s no wonder homeopathy is such an enormous stretch for those steeped in mainstream science. But here’s the thing. Homeopathy may not happily be acknowledged by the limited orthodox view. … [Read more...] about The Mysteries of Homeopathy and what I tell my clients

Staying Sane and Connected during Coronavirus Panic

22/03/2020 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

Support yourself emotionally during Coronavirus Lockdowns As natural therapists we’ve been bombarded by calls to our clinic. People are asking what they can do to boost up the immune system and help prevent disease. You can find this kind of thing all over the internet, so I’m going to focus on another, less obvious pandemic sweeping the world – panic. This Coronavirus disease can get pretty horrible, so before I talk about anything else, I’m going to acknowledge rather than minimise people’s fear. This is very real, and I understand there are many people … [Read more...] about Staying Sane and Connected during Coronavirus Panic

Health Benefits of Herbal Teas

19/11/2019 By Nina Taylor Leave a Comment

Many of us have enjoyed sipping a cup of tea, whether it’s once in a while or multiple times a day, tea plays a warming and nourishing part in our lives. You can serve your tea in delicate bone china to bring out the subtleties of an Indian Himalaya black tea or in a chunky mug sitting on the sofa with your friends. Being a herbalist, I love transporting the properties of herbs out of the dispensary and into my client's daily routine in the form of herbal teas. Such as for breast feeding support, a liver cleanse, or a gentle pick-me-up. There are herbal tea … [Read more...] about Health Benefits of Herbal Teas

That Time of the Month: Period Pain and Homeopathy

31/01/2019 By mikesart22 Leave a Comment

What do you call yours? Growing up as a teenager in the UK we called it, That Time of the Month, On the Blob, Rag Week, Having the painters in, Auntie Flo is here for a visit… Or a bit more extreme Shark Week if you live in Australia! Do you know there are over 5000 slang words for menstruation? But still we don't like to talk about the Dreaded Curse... Or perhaps you have made peace with yours and it’s a more of a Womb Blessing, your Monthly Miracle, your Gift of Life, and maybe you even have a spiritual practice for your cycle? Unfortunately I didn’t have … [Read more...] about That Time of the Month: Period Pain and Homeopathy

Anxiety – Calming remedies for your child

Do you have a nervous child or teenager with anxiety? Are they timid, shy, fearful, suffering from social anxiety, intimidated by crowds, prone to panic attacks, or worried about performance and presentations? There are many remedies to help acute anxiety attacks for children, teenagers and adults. I suffered terrible anxiety as a child, although I didn’t understand what anxiety was. After moving house for the third time and starting a new school again the anxiety was becoming so strong. I started to be sick in the morning, on an empty stomach before … [Read more...] about Anxiety – Calming remedies for your child

Befriend your hormones by naturally supporting adrenal fatigue

26/02/2018 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

The relationship between adrenal fatigue and hormone balance If I had a dollar for every woman who told me they hate having to menstruate because of their terrible symptoms of heavy bleeding, PMT and pain, I would probably not be that rich in today’s inflated economy, but it would make a nice contribution anyway! Ask each of those women whether she also feels constantly exhausted, having to crack the whip at themselves just to get through each day, and it’s likely that we become aware of a relatively silent epidemic - that of underlying adrenal fatigue. … [Read more...] about Befriend your hormones by naturally supporting adrenal fatigue

Invisible Scars: Living With PTSD

04/04/2017 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

In Australia, the figure is at around 800,000 who are thought to have post traumatic stress disorder at any given time. Up to ten percent of people are predicted to suffer from this issue at some stage of their lives. I’d like to suggest it’s a little higher than this, since most people with PTSD tend to suffer in silence, and I see this so often in my clinic. The world is actually full of these silent heroes. Day after day they get up, go to work, look after their children, socialise and navigate the potential minefields of their relationships. All the while, … [Read more...] about Invisible Scars: Living With PTSD

Recently, there have been many blogs about a genetic condition called MTHFR. Even so, you may not have heard about it. It’s up there with pyrrole which is another disorder which has seen increasing interest. More and more of our children (and often adults) find that they have to work harder just to maintain a base-line of health. There are more and more of these genetic conditions being discovered every day as we explore the intricacies of the human genome in more detail. As a result, we are beginning to see how these genes are influencing our health on all … [Read more...] about MTHFR: a role for Homeopathy?
