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
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

Practical Ways To Help A Fearful Child
There are some practical ways to help a fearful child that without even knowing it, every parent will probably make use of. They will model situations when the child should be fearful and when the child should be cautious. Touching the hot stove top and crossing the road are two examples. Fear is necessary, to keep the child from harm. However, children can develop fears of situations or objects that aren’t actually threatening. These childhood fears and anxieties may change as the child grows up. Helping the child to deal with fear includes taking their … [Read more...] about Practical Ways To Help A Fearful Child

Homeopathy for Plants
Last year a friend of mine travelled overseas for an extensive time and left with me her potted plants, including her orchid collection. She is what I term “The Orchid Whisperer”. Magnificent orchids of all varieties thrived and flowered throughout the year in her home. To say I was nervous was an understatement. My main experience with orchids was maintaining the life of cut orchids in the vase, which I achieved quite successfully. Time passed and the orchids were flowering beautifully, new growth even appeared! But one day I noticed black spots on the leaves … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for Plants
Homeopathy and true scepticism
I would like to invite my friends to exercise true scepticism when it comes to the topic of homeopathy. I hear you thinking “Huh? I thought you were annoyed with the sceptics?” Well, perhaps yes, but not in the way that you may surmise. Despite it being widely used around the world, Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine which sceptics love to attack and make comments about. I admit that it’s mildly annoying when certain sceptics occupy themselves by making their witty anti-homeopathy statements. They seem to entertain themselves. But, it’s more than … [Read more...] about Homeopathy and true scepticism
