Staying healthy naturally
The following hints & tips may be helpful in
keeping you strong & healthy
and aiding recovery if you do get ill.
Boost immune function
Plenty of sleep, good food, exercise in fresh air, reduce stress
Vitamin C – 1000mg/day, more if fighting an acute illness
Zinc – 15mg/day
Selenium – 70ug/day
Vitamin A – 5000iu/day
Vitamin E – 400iu/day
Vitamin B complex
Good quality vitamin & mineral supplement e.g. Solgar
{They work best in the right combination – get what pay for}
Garlic - Anti-viral, blood cleanser (raw)
Bee Propolis – 500mg – 1000mg daily
Milk Thistle – detox & strengthen liver function (not continuously)
At onset of acute illness
Rest –the world won’t stop turning (honest!)
Sleep – it’s the best healer
Drink – water that is, to hydrate & cleanse
Raise body temperature to kill bugs – hot water bottle, hot baths, curry, warming drinks eg: ginger cordial in hot water
Avoid mucous forming foods eg: dairy
Echinacea – take sporadically, 7 – 10 days at onset or contact
Golden Seal & Astragalus – take with Echinacea
Sambucol (Black Elderberry) – can reduce severity of cold/flu
Deal with symptoms the drug free way
Sore throat/lost voice : Cider Vinegar, honey & hot water
Sort throat : gargle of Thyme tea (cooled) or tea tree oil/salt solution
Congested sinuses : steam over boiling water (& eucalyptus oil etc)
Liquorice tea or chewed – antiviral/antibacterial properties
Specific Homeopathic remedies for acute symptoms
Replenish & Recover
Good bacteria after Antibiotics – Acidophilus/Bifidus capsules
Don’t use anti-bacterial handwashes – we need some bacteria
Pace yourself – you are not a machine!
Even very healthy people get acute illnesses, it’s the ability to
bounce back quickly that matters
Deal with long term health problems – don’t be an ostrich!
Homeopathic Training
First Aid Course
I will teach you about prescribing for your first-aid needs and acute illnesses.
This can be invaluable if you have a young family as the unexpected always happens at the most inconvenient times!
Having a kit to hand and a little knowledge can prevent a crisis becoming a drama.
I am happy to teach small groups or on a 1: 1 basis.
Course includes:
2 hours tuition
- Basic 18 remedy kit
- First Aid Instruction booklet
- 10 ml bottle of tincture for cleaning wounds
The cost of all this is just £60
Pre-Birth Session
Women often choose to use homeopathy as part of their birth plan.
By having a specially tailored kit to hand and some preparation this can be a huge asset during labour and beyond.
The remedies in the kit can also come in handy later on for problems such as mastitis
& baby's teething.
One patient chose to have her second child using this kit and commented that she wished she had had this option with her first child.
It is a good idea for expectant mums to bring their birth partner to this session and ideally to
book it for around week 32 of pregnancy.
Course includes:
2 hours tuition
- Basic 18 Childbirth Remedy kit
- Additional remedies that have been useful to other women
This pre-birth session costs £60
Homeopathy for Dogs
As well as practising as a homeopath I am also a Dog Listener.
Whilst you have to be a vet to treat animals professionally I am happy toprovide training for dog owners so they can treat their own animals.
You can learn the benefits of homeopathic treatment and how
it can be used to assist your dog.
These remedies can be used alongside any treatment recommended by your vet.
Either 1:1 or in small groups I will show you how you can help your dog
with minor ailments or injuries.
Course includes:
2 hours tuition
- Basic 18 remedy kit
- Instruction book:
"Dogs & Homeopathy - The Owners Companion"
