Allergies, Diagnostic Tests, Health Issues, Menopause

I'm super excited to be offering this new service!  We simply take a sample of your hair (not much is needed) and we send it off for mineral analysis. Minerals are your "spark plugs" in the chemistry of life and have inter-relationships with every other nutrient in your body.  Without the optimum mineral levels in your body, other nutrients cannot be effectively used. This test is useful for health issues associated with absolute or relative mineral deficiencies such as thyroid imbalance toxic metal accumulation, hormone disruption osteoporosis fatigue adrenal insufficiency chronic inflammatory conditions anaemia rheumatoid arthritis. Causes of mineral imbalance are many and include stress (physical or emotional) diet (excess refined carbohydrates/alcohol/fad diets) medications (well known effects of diuretics include sodium loss, and antacids, aspirin and the contraceptive...

Allergies, Health Issues

If you suffer from hay fever then you know just how uncomfortable, annoying and unbearable it can be.  You may be experiencing itchy eyes, an itchy throat, possibly a streaming nose and stinging red eyes along with non-stop sneezing.  Combine that with not being able to enjoy the sunshine outdoors and possibly not sleeping well can make springtime a miserable season. You can use sprays, tablets and pills to relieve the symptoms but it's not addressing the root cause of the problem.  By healing your body with herbal medicine and healing the root cause, you are likely to knock hay fever on the head for good!

Health Issues, Menopause

Menopause heralds the official end of your reproductive years - your ovaries no longer produce eggs and oestrogen, so getting your period is now something in your past.  Your transition from full reproductive years to menopause is known as perimenopause and, during this time, you can experience the same symptoms as when you're in menopause. For many, perimenopause and menopause causes significant hormonal disruption, bringing with it a range of possible symptoms such as brain fog, hot flushes, headaches, sleeplessness,  palpitations, low libido, frequent bladder infections, anxiety, irritability and mood swings. If you find yourself experiencing any of these symptoms during your menopause transition, plant medicines and flower essences, blended for your unique experience, can help alleviate them. Plant medicines used for menopause and perimenopause help support your...

One of the very first things I learned whilst I was studying nutrition 18 years ago, was that refined sugar literally destroys essential vitamins and minerals in your body.

As we need vitamins and minerals for our bodies to work, it makes perfect sense that refined sugar is not good for our health.  Recently the World Health Organisation recommended that for optimal health we should restrict our added sugar to just 25 grams or 6 teaspoons a day.

Do you have to drag yourself out of bed every morning?  Do you feel you're running on empty? Don’t accept a low energy pattern – it doesn’t have to be that way - even if it's been that way for a long time.  If you’re feeling low on energy and you’ve lost all motivation, you may well have adrenal fatigue. Factors such as stress, no work/life balance, poor nutrition and/or an unhealthy lifestyle can all be culprits.  Sometimes even a small deficiency of vitamin B3 can lead to adrenal fatigue. But adrenal fatigue is just one reason for having low energy levels – you may be trying to do too much, not eating well, not getting enough sleep, not exercising, not getting out in the daylight or...
