Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath’s Tour of a Dental Technician Lab

By

Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath's Tour of a Dental Technician Lab Visiting Mike the dental technician was like creeping into a busy cave with a background of noise and lights. There are the occasional grinding sounds, a compressor working and beautiful coloured beams coming from an array of complex digital equipment. It all cries out for a detailed explanation and Mike, who is at home here in his natural environment, is keen to talk. However, the first thing I see is not the powerful computers but it’s the table full of paint brushes and possibly antiquated … [Read more...] about Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath’s Tour of a Dental Technician Lab

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

Weight Loss and Glucose Management: It’s not just what we eat but how we eat

By

I recently read a very interesting book, Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspe, which explains glucose in detail, including sugar and fructose and how it is processed in the body. So often we focus on what and what not to eat, but it turns out that how we eat our food has a powerful effect on our glucose curves. Two meals consisting of the same foods can have vastly different impacts on our body depending on how their components are eaten.  (Cornell University in 2015 has scientific papers that proved this). When insulin levels have been high for a … [Read more...] about Weight Loss and Glucose Management: It’s not just what we eat but how we eat

Discover the Power of Homeobotanicals

By

“Homeobotanicals are not herbalism or homeopathy but are an extraordinary combination of the two healing disciplines which work on the physical and vibrational energies.” wellness-centre.co.uk What are homeobotanicals and how can they be used? Homeobotanicals were developed by naturopath and homeopath Brian Murray in the early 1980’s.

The joys of menopause and why progesterone is so important

By

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? Or are we blaming something which just happens to be removing a layer of protection that previously allowed us to “get away with” more potentially damaging behaviours in our past … [Read more...] about The joys of menopause and why progesterone is so important

There is archaeological evidence of … [Read more...] about Looking after our beloved pets at the clinic: Homeopathy and treats

Is it really perimenopause or is it your thyroid and Hashimoto?

By

The silent epidemic of Hashimoto Thyroiditis Symptoms of perimenopause Most women I know have had issues going through perimenopause, but there are a smug few who don’t get any symptoms. They’re the ones who sail through their journey with relative ease, don’t even put on a kilo, and don’t even raise a sweat. That wasn’t me. 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?
