If you have a house on stumps, the stumps are uneven, and there are cracks in the walls, it is no good just treating the cracks all the time. In the same way, if you have pain or a health issue, it is no good just treating the symptoms all the time. To get good long-term results, it is always important to treat what is causing the problem.

James (not his real name) was suffering with a dull pain and persistent tightness under and between both of his shoulder blades. This tightness would ‘catch’ and feel significantly worse with breathing in. Sometimes the tight feeling would go up into his neck, or his arms would get achy and feel...

Naturopathy Can Be Covered by Health Funds Again!

6 years ago, the federal government stopped health funds being able to cover a range of natural therapies, including naturopathy and Western herbal medicine. However, as this decision was based on out-dated evidence, a review of the current evidence was ordered, resulting in the Natural Therapies Review 2024 report.

This report found there was solid evidence of the effectiveness of 7 of the therapies previously excluded, including naturopathy and Western herbal medicine, and recommended that these therapies be allowed to be covered by health funds again, which the government has finally approved.

Nearly half of all health consultations in Australia are with a natural therapist, This decision will allow many more people to benefit from these therapies, particularly those with chronic health problems. It also helps support the healthcare system generally, by providing treatments that reduce the pressure on doctors and hospitals.

(This means that all of the treatments provided by our clinic can again be covered by health insurance.)

Processed Food Diet Causes Inflammation, Natural Diet Protects

A University study found that switching from a traditional African diet to a Western diet for only 2 weeks causes inflammation, inhibits the immune system attacking bacteria and viruses, and activates biological processes linked to lifestyle diseases. And the opposite is true- a diet rich in vegetables, fibre, and fermented foods has positive effects.

This study highlights the significant impact of diet on the immune system, metabolism, and inflammation (with inflammation being the root cause of many chronic diseases),

A switch of just two weeks from a traditional African diet to a Western diet causes inflammation, reduces the immune response to pathogens, and activates processes associated with lifestyle diseases. Conversely, an African diet rich in vegetables, fiber, and fermented foods has positive effects. Thi...

❤️Something special for your Mum for Mother's Day.❤️
