Ultra-processed foods are harmful to health! This may be something we've all known for ages, and we've been working towards eliminating them from our diets but now a review has pulled it all together ###

Well done Dr Dixon, GP from Cornwall for spelling this out. This model is exactly what Medical Herbalists offer and it works. We are always happy to work with our patients and the medical profession and many Consultants already collaborate. Let's hope we start to see this happening more and more

Found a clump of beautiful Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) growing quite happily in a discarded pile of tarmac.

Traditionally made into sweets and syrups, it has sadly fallen out of fashion due to it containing pyrrolizidine alkoloids (which may or may not damage the liver. I won't go into the iffy research here)

I still make a syrup from the flowers and use it personally for:
🏵 Sore throats
🏵 Coughs
🏵 Asthmatic bronchospasms

Safe and effective which is why I love using hypnotherapy with my patients

Science is revealing that pain is a protector, not a detector. Understanding this is the first step towards managing it, says doctor and author Monty Lyman

"What would love do" Today I finally got a tattoo.

About 15 years ago when I was training with the National Federation of Spiritual Healers (now the Healing Trust) I went to a seminar lead by Jack Angelo and fell in love with this quote of his: a reminder to always be heart-centred. I even chose emerald green for the heart chakra

I'm noticing more and more that the word Adaptogen, like microbiome, is becoming mainstream. No longer just the arcane domain of the Medical Herbalist these amazing plants are being recognised as an ally we can all benefit from

Adoptogens are those herbs which help your body adapt to physical and/or mental stress. Most herbalists add at least 1 to most of their patient's medicines as we recognise the stresses of modern lives play out in most of us

Adaptogens can be gentle like oats, or more pokey like the ginsengs. My favourite is Ashwaghanda (pictured). It's latin name Withania somnifera refers to its benefits as a sleep aid although, like all our herbal allies it does so much more

Found some lovely Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) a couple of days ago so decided to make this recipe from The Herb Society . I've substituted coconut sugar for brown sugar. Coltsfoot is a traditional and effective cough remedy but this is for personal use only as it contains controversial pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which in high doses may cause liver damage so I'm not able to prescribe it currently. Anyone make their own cough mixture of remember coltsfoot rock? I used to love it as a kid ###

Yet another herbal medicine book! This one is by one of the lecturers who taught me. Looking forward to reading it ###

I would just like to say thank you to all my patients, clients and course attendees. This has been a year like no other and we have had to find new ways of working yet we have all embraced them. Looking forward to continuing our relationships into 2021. Have a safe but enjoyable festive season ###

A while ago Wendy-Alchemy and I joined forces to help others on their light path. We started running local groups but Covid took us online. We have just finished our first 'Stepping into Your Light' online course and now have a timetable of courses for 2021 almost ready for sharing. Keep an eye on our Love You Alchemy page for updates ###

Last night was the last session in a 7 month journey we called ‘Stepping In To Your Light; The Chakra Series’. It has been so lovely to see the group develop. It was our first Zoom course since having to stop running the in person sessions back in March.

We have set up a schedule for the new year primarily on Zoom with a view we plan to schedule face to face events when we can again.

The website will be live in the new year but in the mean time do contact us if you are drawn to us. Lots of exciting things are planned!!

We are happy to say 😀that Clinical Treatments With Ghislaine are allowed to take place at Essential Well-being during the lock down
Ghislaine offers Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy used therapeutically is nothing like stage hypnosis and can be used for weight loss, addictions, confidence and well-being.
The therapist induces a relaxed state where they then work with the non-conscious mind to bring about lasting change. The client can hear everything that is said, if they choose to listen, although most prefer to drift away and enjoy a period of relaxation. It works well for past traumas, phobias, weight-loss/weight management, smoking cessation, performance anxiety, panic attacks and any condition where the medical professions can find no physical reason for the symptomsProvided the client comes with an open mind and is willing to trust the process it can be a very fast and effective treatment for many different conditions and most people only need between 1-3 sessions to get the results they want.
