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

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

By

Normal results on a blood test when you don’t feel fine? Have you ever decanted what looks like half your blood, for thorough blood tests, hoping they’ll give you some answers to what’s causing your symptoms, only to be told everything has normal levels? This is something I hear so often as I see more and more clients with what I call functional rather than pathological issues. What that means is that people can have symptoms that affect them even though they’re not showing up on your usual types of testing. That often means that whatever is going on hasn’t … [Read more...] about How do you positively get more out of your blood test results?

We are constantly exposed to heavy metals without even being aware of it. Heavy metals can be found in foods we eat, the water we drink, the air, our environment, and the skin care and hygiene products we use.

In this blog I will talk about what heavy metals are, their relationship with our vital force, where and how we are exposed to them, symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, simple ways to heavy metal detox, and supporting our organs … [Read more...] about How to improve our vital force and detox from heavy metals

Developing control through resilience and intuitive thinking

By

Developing awareness It is in our human nature to have good levels of resilience. We have an incredible capacity to heal all aspects of ourselves.  Within our physical body, our cells regenerate all the time. Our brain develops neural pathways, and our mental state governs everything in our lives. Therefore, to have control over our responses and outcomes, we need to shift our reactions from the reptilian brain / lower brain (survival state) to the neocortex brain (thinking), so we develop our consciousness and intuitive thinking. The question is: Have we … [Read more...] about Developing control through resilience and intuitive thinking

What are our priorities in life? It seems we have forgotten what the most important things are in our lives: family, friends, health, truth, freedom. I have seen a lot of disconnection recently.  It is likely, we have all seen families breaking apart, friendships being destroyed … intolerance, bullying, manipulation, hatred, threat …. And the list keeps going … Because one doesn’t accept another’s opinion and choices. There’s no understanding, or empathy, no acceptance. It seems there is no love any more. There is a whole lot of of judgment and bullying all … [Read more...] about Questioning the truth, empathy, and freedoms that surround us

Homeopathy and Naturopathy…How do they differ?

By Leave a Comment

Since joining the Harbord Homeopathic Clinic as a homeopath in February 2021, several people have asked me if homeopathy was the same as naturopathy. My response has been that they are different modalities of Complementary and types of Alternative Medicine (CAM) but they overlap in some aspects and principles. This question has inspired me to write this blog post about integrative healthcare, CAM, naturopathy and homeopathy in detail. I've included what they encompass, when they are used, their history in Australia, as well as the number of people practicing, … [Read more...] about Homeopathy and Naturopathy…How do they differ?
