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 Leave a 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

Transition is a period of changing from one state or condition to another In our lives, we go through many different transitions, some we have no control over, and some we choose.

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

Pyrrole disorder: a homeopathic perspective

By Leave a Comment

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
