While on the topic of mushrooms...

Mushrooms are an amazing food for the immune system. Nutritionally they are a bit of a power house and are a food source of vitamin D (see yesterday's post for one of my favourite food hacks); but they also contain beta-glucans which are amazing for the immune system. Including all sorts of mushrooms in the diet (such as sh*take, maitake, oyster and even the common white mushrooms found at the supermarket) can be a great way to support and boost immunity.

And my immune boosting herbal seasoning's contain some beautiful medicinal mushrooms, along with other immune supporting herbs - you can add them to soups & casseroles, or use them to make a nourishing cup-a-soup. You can order online here: https://www.shalomhealth.com.au/shop

Did you know that placing your mushrooms in the sun - gill side up - for 15 minutes in the middle of the day drastically increases their vitamin D?

It's been a rough cold & flu season - seems some nasty bugs going around.

Started a new batch of fire cider. Decided to add in some extra herbs this time - elderberries, rose hips, lemon balm, thyme, oregano.

I had an inquiry the other day about my costs - the person was surprised at how much I charge. I don't often talk about costs but is it really that expensive to see a naturopath? When faced with the initial cost, it might sound like it, so I thought it worth doing an updated cost comparison...

There’s a perception that seeing a naturopath is expensive… so I just want you to stop a minute with me & do a comparison… On average, a standard GP is just under 15 minutes long & costs around $45 out of pocket the (national average is $43.38, NSW about $44 and ACT about $52). That’s about ...

We'll be there from 8-11

Time for a self-care Sunday post. I talk often about paying attention to the rhythms of nature & slowing down in winter. I love Dr Libby's posts & this one just says it so well - I encourage you to take the few minutes to read it... & then do something with it...

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, many start to feel the seasonal shift – lower energy, dips in mood and those frustrating immune niggles that seem to come out of nowhere. But what if these weren’t signs that something’s wrong, but gentle nudges from your body asking for a di...

Well Mother's Day has really crept up on me this year, but it's not too late to order tea for Mum (I'd recommend pick up though as I can't guarantee post arriving in time).
There's so many options to choose from - Mum & Bub for the breastfeeding mum, Butterfly for the older mum in her transitional years, tea to support Mum's bone & joint health, Immune supporting blends for winter, Chocolate Rose tea for a treat, or just any of my delicious & therapeutic blends. Have a look at my shop for my complete range https://www.shalomhealth.com.au/shop.

And as a special little Mother's Day offer (this week only), if you order 3 large bags, I'll throw in a complimentary small bag for Mum, or 3 small bags, I'll throw in a tea infuser (for online orders, just comment in the notes & I'll add in your gift).
