Gosh how interesting! Arnica 30c used in a Petri dish to reduce cellular DNA damage from UV radiation.
Arnica really is the superhero. And like I say every household needs to have arnica on their first aid kit- or in their wallets/ handbags if they have young children… am I Right?!!!
How many times has it come to my families rescue! ~ Shannon x

Ps. if you didn’t know arnica is a herb but it is also potentized into one of the most commonly used homeopathic medicines around the world for injuries and bruises and emotional effects of trauma.

Super strong 😉 Arnica homeopathic available from BodyIQ Health. But the basic form (which is better than none and I totally recommend) is also available at good wellness/ vitamin stores and some chemists.

AM-30C helped repair the DNA damage through up-regulation of repair genes and also ameliorated the oxidative stress through the reduction of ROS generation and suitable modulation of anti-oxidative stress enzymes.

After the birth of your baby, your body may need time and support to recover. Your osteopath will take a detailed health history to understand your post-partum experience and identify any musculoskeletal or physical concerns you may have such as pelvic floor concerns, breastfeeding-related discomfort, or postural changes.

Osteopaths trained in pelvic floor screening may offer to conduct an external physical examination of the pelvic floor. Where needed, they can also collaborate with or refer you to other health professionals for more specific diagnosis and treatment.

🌿 What is Homeopathy? 🌿
Homeopathy is a natural healing system using highly diluted, energised substances from plants, minerals, or animals. Through a special process called succussion (vigorous shaking), the remedies are made potent—not by strength, but by energy.

With over 15,000 remedies, homeopathy is widely used around the world—in places like Germany, India, and even in Cuba’s public health system. It’s gentle, cost-effective, and doesn’t interact with conventional meds, making it a powerful support for both physical and emotional healing.

Think of it as medicine that works with your body’s energy—not against it.
