Toby's story A story of homeopathy for eczema in babies What does a homeopath do when she can't fix her own child's eczema? Toby is my third child. When I brought him home from the hospital, I wanted to turn around and go straight back. The food may well be horrendous, but at least someone else makes it for you. There are a lot of jokes going around that once you have three children, you may as well go and have another one because it makes very little difference in the scheme of things. I began to understand exactly what was behind all of those jokes as I did my … [Read more...] about Eczema homeopathy and dairy Intolerance

Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections
Recently I have been coming across many people asking if there is an alternative to antibiotics for ear infections and glue ear. A few years ago now, we did research on previous clients in our clinic who were treated homeopathically, to ascertain just how effective homeopathic treatment is for ear issues. This information is still just as valid today so I thought I'd re-post this blog I did on the homeopathic treatment of kids (and sometimes adults!) with recurrent ear infections and glue ear. ***** In the past couple of years we have been embarking on a … [Read more...] about Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections
Invisible Scars: Living With PTSD
In Australia, the figure is at around 800,000 who are thought to have post traumatic stress disorder at any given time. Up to ten percent of people are predicted to suffer from this issue at some stage of their lives. I’d like to suggest it’s a little higher than this, since most people with PTSD tend to suffer in silence, and I see this so often in my clinic. The world is actually full of these silent heroes. Day after day they get up, go to work, look after their children, socialise and navigate the potential minefields of their relationships. All the while, … [Read more...] about Invisible Scars: Living With PTSD

There are more and more of these genetic conditions being discovered every day as we explore the intricacies of the human genome in more detail. As a result, we are beginning to see how these genes are influencing our health on all … [Read more...] about MTHFR: a role for Homeopathy?
CURE, A Journey into the science of mind over body: Book Review
Cure? As a homeopath, I was hooked from the first page. Jo Marchant mentions chatting to another mum who spoke highly of how homeopathic remedies cured her child’s eczema. Marchant’s reaction was that ‘Homeopathy is effectively nothing more than water in fancy bottles’ to which the other mother’s retort was ‘nothing measurable.’ Those words were the turning point for Jo Marchant and the beginning of her research into what cure really is and the world of mind, body medicine for this book. CURE A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body The book begins with … [Read more...] about CURE, A Journey into the science of mind over body: Book Review

There are some practical ways to help a fearful child that without even knowing it, every parent will probably make use of.
