Welcome to Winter Brisbanites!! The sky is beautiful and blue, sun is shining but there is a cold dry wind coming in from the west. Brrrr.

I am a big follower of the weather as I know this affects our health. For a lot of us, a cold change disrupts our inner energetic homeostasis, making us vulnerable to upper respiratory tract infections (URTI).

We may get caught out on a day where we have summer attire on and that cold westerly/southerly wind whistles through us making us cold to the bone. Then low and behold, that night we have a sore throat and feel some build up behind the nose. We may even have a bit of anxiety, like something is wrong and you may even feel like something major is descending upon you. There can be increased thirst, a fever with waves of chilliness, and restlessness. The pains of the sore throat or sore ears can be intense.

This is the picture of Aconite. Our number one remedy for a cold/flu that comes on after being exposed to the dry, cold wind. It is also our big shock remedy and so any cold or virus coming on after an emotional shock, can also need Aconite.

On a day like today, I give the kids two drops of Aconite under the tongue once they are home from school. Takes the chill out of their bodies and helps return them to homeostasis before an opportunistic can virus take hold.

Remember, once we are exposed to a virus, it permanently lives within our cells dormant. It never leaves our body. This is seen with shingles and the chickenpox virus. It causes disease when the environment changes and the conditions are right for growth. The trick is, to keep the environment in homeostasis and then we are physically healthy. When something occurs that shifts us from our naturally healthy homeostasis, like today's cold dry wind, we need an energetic homeopathic remedy to restore us to our healthy homeostasis again. Once you know, its really simple to maintain health.

Get yourselves some Aconite today. Let me know if you need some for your stocks at home!!

One of my passions is helping other women successfully get through pre-peri, peri-menopause and menopause without too many awful symptoms. Contrary to popular belief, women do not need to suffer during this stage of life.

The symptoms can begin in your early 40's and the Dr may say you are too young to be peri-menopausal. Women can experience symptoms from 41-44 and it can last from 4-6 years but can also last up to 10 years. I was like that. After turning 41, my cycles started to be a little late, or early, and just not regular anymore. By the time i was 42, i was also having at least one hot flash every day or so, sometimes a few times a day. I was told by the GP that i was too young to be diagnosed with peri-menopause. She sent me for a scan, all good down there, so see you later with no help. I went back complaining about rising mental health issues, increasing anxiety and feeling depressed. That GP told me the hormone replacement therapy only regulates the physical symptoms and unfortunately does nothing for the anxiety and depression that also comes on with early perimenopause. It also doesnt fix the insomnia that was beginning to happen.

So for me, get back to the Homeopathy!! I started using a remedy called 'Folliculinum'. Its our homeopathic version of Estrogen. We dont know whether it increases the production of Estrogen as its made to the precursor of estrogen, or if it just gives the signal to the body to release estrogen from our fat stores. All i know is it balances your estrogen levels somehow. It got my periods regular again, it decreased the frequency of the hot flashes till they disappeared altogether, it decreased the anxiety and the depression disappeared, it stopped that crazy PMS feeling when the period was late, ie, because it wasnt late anymore and it helped my sleep. Amazing stuff.

This remedy alone has helped me get through 7-8 years of the peri-menopause stage. Now i am finally diagnosed as peri-menopausal at 49 years of age and I still use that remedy but i also need other remedies to keep the hot flushes at bay, to help get the sleep i need and to stave off the depression.

If you find yourself having menstrual irregularities in your early 40's and your Dr can't help you out, give me a call or contact a local homeopath to help you. We all know the remedies that will work wonders and importantly, you dont have to suffer!! None of us need to suffer from menopause anymore!!

My boy has had a nasty cough after a virus a few weeks ago. I got him through the virus ok but him being Mr fusspot and not actually eating real food, means recovery has been slow. A lingering cough has been plaguing him third week running now and it gets worse every night with cough,cough, cough, gag almost vomit and can’t get air in. His post viral asthma doesn’t help!

The scary part is he woke two nights ago and couldn’t get air in and he panicked, freaked us all out with the way he was screaming help me. We eventually got ventolin and a remedy in him and calmed him down.

Yesterday, I was like, that’s it, changing tact, take to the dr to make sure he doesn’t have a chest infection. Dr listens to say maybe two to three points on front of his chest through his shirt and says ‘chest is clear’!! Sorry but no, a proper inspection of the chest is shirt up, listen to back first so not to have heartbeat mess up what u r hearing and u listen to at least 4spots per lung, then u come around to the front and listen again to those 4-5spots per lung!! Wtaf!!

Eli just said to me - “he is a useless dr mum, u r way more qualified and u actually fix people. That remedy u gave me last night really helped “ - yes it did! I had to change tact and get as serious as this issue and use multiple remedies in alternation. Often happens with chest, ear and throat infections, u have to hit it hard and with multiple remedies to avoid antibiotics.

And yes we still woke in the night with multiple coughing fits but they were not as intense and he calmed down in a matter of seconds and importantly, he could get air in. If we left to Mr dr who just swabbed for cv and pertussis, well it was another night of no sleep and Eli feeling he was going to suffocate!

Honestly - get yourself a good homeopath! Makes all the difference for ur kids and their suffering through illnesses.

To all people in the SE QLD region!!

Mould, mould and more mould!! It has burst into our homes these last few days after all the wet weather these last few weeks. It is everywhere!! On the windows and window sills, in kitchens, on wooden drawers, cupboards, on our shoes, in high dust areas and where there is a lack of ventilation. This is not any of our fault. This is because of the dampness in the air and the lack of sun. This will be flaring people's allergies off, ie, itchy eyes, scratchy throat, trouble breathing, maybe a constant tickly cough and runny nose etc.

What can we do about it?

Firstly, you need to clean the mould off. Why? Mould if you can see it, is sending micro-scopic spores out in the air. That is what we breathe in and that is why we react in the ways mentioned above. We need to clear the air of spores which we can do in two ways - clean the mould off the surfaces (recipe below), and also clear the air with either a Hepa-filtered air filtering device or diffusing an oil like Purify (doTerra) into the air. It removes the mould spores instantly.

The recipe to clean it off: 250ml spray bottle
50/50 vinegar to water
5 drops tea tree oil
5 drops Wild orange/lemon oil
5 drops Clove oil

Spray on mould covered surfaces - leave for 5-10 minutes. Wipe off. Spray again to prevent the mould coming back!

Good luck and please know, I have personally cleaned mould off my couch and windows and window sills this last 24hrs and it has instantly stopped my own son with his constant cough. It really works!!

I hope everyone is staying safe this holidays. If anyone knows me personally, you know I am quite vocal about certain issues of these times however I will not post that on this page. My aim of this page is to give up to date relevant health information that is evidenced based. I am happy to share published research as it happens and explain as needed, however, I also do not want this page censored or blocked by FB.
So I just wanted to say a big welcome to the new additions/likes to this page and that I hope I can answer your health questions and needs. Private message is probably more the way to go and I am always happy to give free 15 minute consultations if you require them.
Take care

Why I do what I do.....

29/04/2021

I was dreaming last night about telling my GP about what I do.
“As a homeopath we are trained in the art of case taking. We know that the healing begins the moment a person walks in the door and when they start telling you about their issues, whether physical, mental or emotional. The GP’s of long ago knew the power of a consultation where 60-90 minutes of talking to someone is just as effective at creating healing as some magic pill or elixir. If this is what you want to call placebo, go right ahead but remember we have an entire profession of psychology based around talking for an hour as therapy. So I consider myself to be the emotional doctor - the one that your profession does not allow time for anymore”.

My life has been a bit chaotic atm so I am catching up finally - Homeopathy Awareness Week!!

Homeopathy Awareness Week - Day 6

19/03/2021

This is why I use homeopathy for myself and my family - 46 and not on medication of any kind, I haven’t ever really needed to and each time I was faced with a health scare of sorts, homeopathy brought me back to balance and health.
