Aromatherapy is one of the most potent yet affordable wellness tools around. Its always been my edge in clinic. Please support Zurma Botanical Oil Studio as your choice for oils. They are so knowledgeable and stock oils of incredible quality.

Did you know not all mānuka oil is created equal?

One of the key compounds that gives mānuka essential oil its powerful antibacterial activity is a group of molecules called triketones. These are naturally occurring constituents unique to certain New Zealand mānuka chemotypes.

Our Mānuka Essential Oil contains 25%+ beta-triketones, which is considered a high-triketone profile. This is the chemotype most associated in published research with strong activity against gram-positive bacteria, including strains that can be stubborn on skin.

High triketone mānuka is something pretty special, and it’s one of the reasons we’re so proud to offer a carefully selected, tested oil with full GCMS transparency.

Pure. Potent. From Aotearoa.

Today has been a day of reflection. Not only for the 15yr earthquake anniversary that forever changed our lives but this 20th year in practice.

The pic is me 17 years ago at our reflexology conference in Wainui. How things have evolved in that time and it was lovely to go through some pictures with reflexology colleagues.

With that reflection, I decided to put in place some changes I have mulled over for a while. It is long over due simplifying a few things things and making it easier for me. So here goes.....

Pre Paid Packages - only 2 choices now not 5. There is still a special of 3 x 1hr reflexology but that will be removed 28 Feb.

Product scripts - I will be removing any script that has not been used in past 2 years off the Pacific Health system. They are clogging up the ordering and many are never used despite being asked for.

Product on hand - I am no longer going to have stock other than ampoules. I am left all too often with items requested and then not purchased. This is a mix below of over ordered items & stock on hand I want to move. Big discounts - cost or below.

Payment to 06 0807 0230739 00 Reflexable after confirmation from me the item is yours.

Thank you & make sure your current script has all you want on it like CitraMag. Everything will be via script going forward. You'll receive product faster than me for $7 courier fee plus a 10% discount. :-)

So well said....this will speak to a number of you who say 'I must get to bed earlier'.

I just read that the average NZer gets to bed between 10.48pm and 11.29pm, and this is on the early side in terms of bedtimes.

If this is you and you are overly hungry, are struggling with cravings, if you are seeking caffeine, sugar or salty carbs, if you’re missing too many training sessions to make any real progress in the gym, or you’re getting there but not able to be productive - get to bed earlier.

Most of us have a fixed get-up time due to kids, work, etc and it’s easy to feel resigned to the fact that you’ll have less than ideal amount of sleep because you’ve chosen to stay up for another episode, or pottering around the house or scrolling on social media. These aren’t necessarily bad, and at the time it feels like self care because you’re finally doing something for yourself after a busy day of doing all the things for everyone else at home and at work.

I get that, but actually, you are just digging a hole for yourself that can be difficult to get out of.

Continual sleep restriction wreaks havoc on your hormones. Insulin increases, ghrelin (our hunger hormone) increases, leptin decreases (both of these impact on hunger and appetite, you get increases sympathetic nervous system activation (feel on edge), evening cortisol can be elevated and this therefore impacts on melatonin release. Which can perpetuate that viscous cycle you are in.

The net effect over the long term is not only reduced energy and activity, increased irritability, anxiety and food intake, but in the long term has serious implications for metabolic health markers that directly impact your long term health: increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, all cause mortality. Even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time.

Can you get to bed earlier? More time in bed allows more time for sleep that directly and positively impacts on all of these factors. Even if it is 20 minutes earlier, that is the potential of an additional 2 hours sleep a week. That’s not nothing and hopefully doesn’t impact the cadence of your evening too much.

And keep in your mind that real self care isn’t the hit you get from social media. It’s discipline that gets you to bed earlier.

Emerging evidence suggests prolactin is much more than a pituitary hormone. It's also produced locally by the spinal cord and immune system, where it can change how pain receptors respond, making even mild signals feel painful, and potentially contributing to PMS, migraines, and pelvic pain, including endometriosis pain.

Prolactin is supposed to be kept in check by dopamine, but when dopamine signalling drops (e.g, late luteal and with chronic stress), prolactin can rise. Prolactin also rises with higher estrogen.

You can support more sustained dopamine (and therefore lower prolactin) with strategies like outdoor light, social connection, moving the body, magnesium, zinc, iron, and vitamin B6. (Scientists are also working on how to block or downregulate prolactin.)

Here are a couple of articles about the potential role of prolactin in pain, migraines, and endometriosis:
• Identifying a link between prolactin and female pain: https://healthsciences.arizona.edu/news/stories/identifying-link-between-prolactin-and-female-pain
• Prolactin-induced sensitization of trigeminal nociceptors promotes migraine co-morbidity in endometriosis: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03331024241313378

And stay tuned for my new book about periods!

Drew my favorite angel card for the week - Freedom.

Always grateful to Reiki Master Cathy Cremen for these special cards being part of my training. They give you a lovely point of focus.

Freedom is a value that is very important to me. I did not always know how to access it and bathe in it. My well-being journey most definitely helped me grab hold of it again.

Come relax here sometime soon. Take a load off from any aspect weighing heavy. Feel free.

I'd love to see you soon.
