Oak Homeopathy

25/09/2025

Today I was reminded by my beautiful friend .dandelion.heart of the power of the trees to protect and look after us. It’s very easy with all the click-hungry flame fanning media to get swept up in their f-ire. Today I fed my own ball of energy by hugging this beautiful oak - the one from my website front page - and going for the most wonderful of paddles. The music for this post is from .paul.mason who keeps me right when I forget the breath in me is there to tap into and support me whenever I want. Wood - water - air and off to sit by the fire. It really is all about balance. All this helps me to help you. ❤️

Totally in awe of the runners today. This is pretty rugged terrain! Humbled by them, by who’ve raised £40m for charity and humbled@by this ancient and wild mountains. 😁

I was out running the other morning, my friend's son just came 16th in the London half marathon (Go Harris!), a few other friends were competing in the Greath North Run last weekend and I'm off to Glencoe to cheer on the amazing people doing that. Check out my blog about what encouraged me to pull on my trainers after 3 decades gathering dust.

I took up running last year because I used to be able to and at 53 thought I was too young to give up hope of doing it again. Five years before, I’d heard of the Couch to 5K app and thought I didn’t need it because I could run 5K. To prove it I got up and ran 5K - no poxy warm-ups and cool downs...

I am super excited about going to help WildFox Events at the Glencoe Marathon on Sunday. It made me think about the remedies I would find most useful to have if I was running this far.

On Saturday I decided to make something with the beautiful bright redcurrants at the bottom of the garden.

As I pulled handfuls off the bush I felt some acutely sharp pricks and found 3 small barbs sticking out between my thumb and forefinger.

Confused as redcurrants don’t have thorns I pulled them out and watched my hand as it started to swell up with pain coursing up my arm and through my hand.

I had a little relief from the swelling with Apis mel, none from Ledum and a day later when it was still supremely itchy with little white dots forming, none from Urtica Urens either. Two days later as little blisters formed I tried Cantharis.

Cantharis - in the 36 kit is made from the Spanish fly and is great when blisters form, there is intolerable itching and burning inflammation. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner - then I re-read the mind symptoms and remembered a bad case of Cantharis is driven mad with the intolerable pain.

It was a good lesson in why having someone else to prescribe a remedy is helpful. I was so distracted with the pain and itching I couldn’t think straight. I’ve been filthy grumpy and irritated with my annoying family for days now. Another homeopath would have spotted this as a symptom right away.

According to@allergy_uk , 5-8% of children under 5 have a food allergy. This doesn’t even include food sensitivities or intolerances.

So in a world where the kids aisles in our supermarkets are flooded with dairy, we’re here to offer families choice without compromise.

No compromise on flavour. No compromise on nutrition. And certainly no compromise on safety (we're top 6 allergen-free).

When dairy or soya doesn’t work for your little one, we've got you!

If you are experiencing abdominal distension, flatulence, constipation or diarrhea, pain, fatigue, and mood swings it may be caused by medication. Very interesting article confirming what I see in practice. Pro and prebiotics can help but these need to be more cleverly selected. I also love using medicine which supports and repairs the gut.

A 2020 study published in Nature Communications, which analyzed the impact of common medications on the composition and metabolic function of the gut bacteria, showed that of the 41 classes of medications. Researchers found that 19 were associated with changes in the microbiome, most notably antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, laxatives, and metformin. http://ms.spr.ly/6182SLSSo

Every week I speak to a woman whose periods are compromising her life. I've spoken to a couple in the last month who found their exams particularly tough because they were trying to manage through their pain. The ones who see me have found paracetamol and ibuprofen "don't touch the sides". Homeopathy has no side effects and you will usually see a change by the time of your next period. Not just pain - mood swings, acne, migraines should all be better. Have a read of my blog to find out more...

I recently came across the “Just a Period” survey by Wellbeing of Women and it made me realise more women are struggling with heavy, painful periods than I suspected. We often have no idea how common this problem is because we’ve all become so good at hiding it.As a homeopath some women come t...

I love this guy’s post! I treated a young lad who came across some hogweed when he was out strimming and was impressed with the violence of the poisoning. https://www.oak.scot/post/giant-hogweed-poisoning

This is a great article by Smidge on how to tell the difference between real food vitamin C & ascorbic acid.

Many “natural” commercial vitamin C supplements are really made of ascorbic acid, which can cause digestive side effects and long-term health issues. Learn why the two are not the same — and how to get the best vitamin C from your plate.
