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
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

Teen acne and teenage mood swings to name just a few. What … [Read more...] about Puberty Stages and Easing the Transition

Can homeopathy help the People of Pyrrole? Pyrrole seems to be the new buzzword going around the natural therapies traps at the moment. Everywhere I turn there’s a new article on Pyrrole and the far reaching problems it can cause. Perhaps that’s why I’ve preferred to ignore it for so long because there are so many trends that come and go in the world of natural health and I can’t keep up with them all before they fade out of favour. There’s something about Pyrrole though that keeps coming back to haunt me. It’s partly due to observing a very dear friend treat … [Read more...] about Pyrrole disorder: a homeopathic perspective

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. Like everything else, I figured surely there would be a way of supporting Tourette's naturally. 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
