Homeopathy Improves Your Quality of Life: Revelations from recent research. “During the last 4 weeks, to what extent has your physical health or emotional problems interfered with your normal social activities with family, friends, neighbours or groups?” It’s a bit of an aspergers way of asking “How are you doing?” Obviously not the style of question you ask a friend over coffee. 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 with ..read more

“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? Homeobotanicals were developed by naturopath and homeopath Brian Murray in the early 1980’s. Herbal tinctures were (and still are) very expensive, which encouraged Brian to produce a range of formulas which have evolved into a powerful, synergistic blend of organic herbal remedy combinations in liquid form. The remedies are dynamized and selectively chos ..read more

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 lifestyles? What if those issues suppo ..read more

Why are we a nation of pet lovers? There are said to be around 25 million pets in Australia.  That’s 40% of households owning a pet of some-kind, from a snail farm in an urban apartment to horses in rolling fields. More and more dogs are being used for therapy relief in schools and nursing homes.  Not just for their calming presence, but also their incredible skills in detecting the imminent attack of a medical episode.  It has even been found that therapy dogs can be trained to detect diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Most people develop mild acne, it affects 80% of teenagers but for some it can continue into adulthood. Acne that develops after teenage years is referred to as ‘adult acne’. Unfortunately, acne can cause many emotional issues and for teenagers can affect their confidence and interaction with others. Hormonal changes during puberty leads to increased estrogen in girls and androgens (including testosterone) in both boys and girls, which increases oil production in the skin. Acne is also worsened by stress, as this increase’s perspiration and oil production. Some women can be affected with acne ..read more

I once lived on a farm near Mt Warning, where a majestic clump of yellow stemmed bamboo grew up over 20 feet tall. It grew near the top of a hill, so in a storm when the big winds would rush up the valley, the bamboo would bend right over and nearly touch the ground then bend back up again. Impressive. Just watching this capacity for bending and yielding gives clues about the homeopathic remedy Bambusa arundinacea and there’s a mine of other information to be gained by being near it on a daily basis. It was ever-present up the hill while I was down the hill chasing the chooks. What did I learn ..read more

I don’t have to try very hard to get to know the Echinacea plants in my garden. They’re urging me to connect with them so they can give away their healing tricks. They thrive off of helping others. They yell loudly “Come over here, I’ve got something for you.” There’s no holding back information in the world of Echinacea with such an unapologetic commanding voice; they’re no fragile little daisy. Looking at their flower up close, the first thing to notice is how the petals pull themselves out of the way to reveal the shiny seed head. It looks something like the spines of a hedgehog according t ..read more

Feeling hopeful as the Qest4 identifies imbalances in the person’s body and potential blocks to health balance, I asked them to give me 6 months to see if we could a ..read more
