It is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, and so an opportunity to reflect on the Māori language, and this year I am taking time to reflect on remedies through a holistic Māori lens. I have discussed Te Whare Tapa Wha before, (you can read the post here), it is my favourite holistic model of health. For a quick recap, it describes the four walls of a meeting house, all are equally important for health. Taha Wairua- Spiritual (and this ...

On the weekend I attended the New Zealand Homeopathy Conference: I will talk more about the content but firstly I want to discuss the magic of the coming together in person of so many Homeopaths from around New Zealand. One question for the weekend ( with a prize) was about the collective noun for Homeopaths- and several people individually came to “a resonance of Homeopaths”- and it really does feel like a resonance. (Unfortunately I cannot remember who to attribute ...

One thing I have been doing this year is contracting for Open Polytechnic, and doing workplace assessments for Pharmacy Technicians who are working on their Level 4 and Level 5 diplomas. I love this – it’s amazing to get out of the house and explore a different part of Northland, plus get the opportunity to talk to other Pharmacists and discuss what Pharmacy is like. I also really love supporting learners, and I know there are always things we can ...

I’ve seen a couple of comments lately about the cost of seeing a Homeopath, and it is also something that came up in my homeopaths demographic survey last year, so I thought it was worth discussing. You may already understand that it is not a matter of cost but of value, and that this is not just unique to Homeopaths, but Naturopaths and other non-funded health practitioners. I would also like to make note here of all my wonderful clients ...

I am the second child of four, and I was fascinated as a teenager and in my early 20s by the writings around birth order. In one job I had a colleague who was also second of four children, boy, girl, girl, boy, same as my family, and despite the different age gaps between siblings and growing up in different places, with different cultures and family background, her stories about her siblings could have been mine, and vice versa. Last ...

Last week was World Breastfeeding week, so I want to discuss two important remedies that are to do with breastfeeding: Lac Humanum, and Lac Maternum. Both of these remedies are made from human breastmilk, but there is one key difference. Lac Humanum was made from the breastmilk of one woman, and Lac Maternum from the breastmilk of 9 Women at different stages of their breastfeeding journeys, from day 3 to 10 months. Lac Humanum has a theme about finding your ...

It’s World Breastfeeding Week! I am passionate about breastfeeding but for many women it is not easy. Last year I wrote about mastitis, if you need support for that you can find the post here: One problem with breastfeeding can be the supply – too much causes engorgement and can lead on to mastitis, other women struggle to have enough breast milk to feed their baby. Today I want to talk about under supply. There can be some myths about ...

Constantine Hering was born on January 1st, 1800 in Oschatz, Saxony, and today is the anniversary of his death, July 23, in 1880. He was a boy with a great interest in learning, and went to medicine, studying at the University of Leipzig. Like many, Hering was a skeptic of this new field of medicine, homoeopathy, and he decided to repeat Hahnemann’s original proving with Cinchona in order to…

Natrum Muriaticum (abbreviated as Nat Mur) is sodium chloride, or common salt. Found in every kitchen, it is an essential mineral for life, and homeopathically it also has a wide range of symptoms and is one of our polychrest remedies. Nat Mur is one of Schuessler’s twelve tissue salts, as well as a remedy we use in much higher potencies homeopathically. As a tissue salt, 6x potency…

These are a common childhood complaint and can affect the skin anywhere on the body. (You can also get warts of the mucous membranes, of the anus or genitals, but I am not going to be discussing those today). Warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus and are most common in school aged children, although any age group can get them. The virus affects the base layer of the skin which forms more…
