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

Homeopathy surge worldwide

By Leave a Comment

As the owner of a busy homeopathy clinic, I ask my patients lots of questions. I've been wondering where the recent surge in homeopathy has come from, so I ask them about it.  Over and over, the answer goes something like this, "I tried it for my terrible headaches which had gone on for three years since the birth of my baby. My days were a fog of pain and tiredness. Three days after the homeopathic, they were gone. I could hardly believe it, after being to so many specialists and having CAT scans, x-rays and thyroid tests etc done."  No wonder there is a … [Read more...] about Homeopathy surge worldwide

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

Not a question from the real world. It is a survey question about your quality of life, validated as part of an observational study. ‘An observational study,’ being a study where investigators record what happens without … [Read more...] about Homeopathy Improves Your Quality of Life

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?

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
