It's no surprise that modern technology is playing havoc with our health and Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) from appliances such as microwaves, mobiles, smart TVs, smart meters and baby monitors are a silent, invisible source of stress on our bodies. The EMFs from mobiles, for instance, may interfere with your body's central nervous system and may disrupt sleep patterns, immune system function, hormone production (including your thyroid) and may even affect fertility. The most recent research from The World Health Organisation was way back in 2011! At that time, WHO stated that the electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are possibly carcinogenic to humans - no wonder there's not been any further research. But with little research, we're not all about to throw our 5 billion mobiles...

  This is one girl's story who took the time to write about her healing journey.  I am deeply grateful to her for taking the time and energy to explain, in her own words, the magical effects of herbal medicine.  I hope after reading this it will inspire you to try herbal medicine or, at least, encourage someone you know (who may be feeling overly stressed at the moment) to try it.   "I have been suffering from long bouts of fatigue, insomnia, stress and extreme exhaustion for the past few years (I'm a law student).  I've been to numerous doctors over the years in an attempt to try increase my energy levels or at least reassess what was going on - they couldn't seem to pick up...

It seems that B12 is the buzzword right now, but what is B12, why is it so important and how do you know if you're getting enough? The role of B12 (or cobalamin) comes right down to your DNA production which is the genetic blueprint for your health and for the proper functioning of your central nervous system. In a nutshell, B12 works together as a team with the other B-group vitamins to convert your food into energy.  Without B12 you can have a body packed-full of nutrients but no key to access them leaving you feeling very ordinary. Symptoms can arise that you've never experienced before.  Suddenly, the shopping can feel heavier than usual, or you may be experiencing some tingling or numbness in your hands or...

Stress can play a big part in elevated cholesterol levels.  Sometimes you may not even be aware that you're stressed.  This the tricky part because if you don't realise when you're in "flight or fight" syndrome, you can't do anything to stop your body releasing cortisol (via your cholesterol) into your bloodstream. If your stress remains constant then your liver has to make additional cholesterol in order to produce more cortisol (in response to the stress) thus raising your cholesterol levels. So how can you manage this stress response? Exercise.  A study published by Research Quarterly for Exercise investigated the effects of regular exercise on cholesterol levels with 20 men over 20 consecutive years.   As little as 30 minutes of exercise three times a week was enough...

If you've received a high cholesterol reading, a good place to start is with your diet.   Here are some tips to bring down your low density lipoproteins "LDLs" (the "bad fats" that, in excess, can stick to your blood vessel walls) and to increase your high density lipoproteins "HDLs" (the "good fats" that keep your blood vessels clear): Cut down on saturated animal fats.  As you probably already know, it's important to decrease saturated animal fats such as butter, milk, cheese, ice cream, chocolate and fatty red meats. However, when you eliminate animal fats from your diet you need to add unsaturated vegetable fats in their place, otherwise you will create more problems for your liver. If you love cheese, choose the "white" cheeses like fetta, ricotta...

Colds & Flu, Health Issues, Lowering cholesterol naturally

Have you ever wondered whether there's an alternative to "statins" or lipid-lowering medications? For some people these drugs can give you side-effects such as painful muscles, raised liver enzymes (indicating liver damage), increased blood sugar levels and neurological problems. To avoid any side-effects you can look at managing your cholesterol naturally. What you may not know is that your liver is responsible for producing cholesterol and this waxy substance is essential for making hormones (progesterone, oestrogen and testosterone), for keeping your cells walls flexible, for forming part of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibres, for producing cortisol in response to stress and for Vitamin D synthesis (low Vitamin D levels can lead to osteoporosis). When your liver is working well this all works wonderfully.  However, if you've been...

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...
