23.01.2022 Rosemary for memory in honour of ANZAC Day this month - its our herb of the month. Brilliant for memory & concentration, it can help with headaches and prevent brain ageing. As an antioxidant it may also assist with cardiovascular and neurological health, guarding against Alzheimer’s Disease. It may help protect against macular degeneration and blood clots. Rosemary has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, is liver protective while also improving appetite and dige...stion. Some say it helps with hair growth and in fact was used in many natural hair rinses as it helped the hair stay shiny. We love it for the circulation and in immune mixes. This beautiful aromatic herb is wonderful for older folk who need these valuable protective properties. Look out for our new Memory Mix next week! Love magical Rosemary! Come see our beautiful window upstairs in Waratah Court! . . . #rosemary #magical #wreath #herbalist #monavale #apothecary #local #northernbeaches #herbshop #monavalenaturopath #greendoorhealth #waratahstreet #natural See more

15.01.2022 A very sad day for our profession! Wiped off the health funds. :: As you may know the government is cutting Private Health Insurance rebates for 17 Natural Therapies including Naturopathy today on 1st April based on one very flawed review Supposedly having ‘no clear evidence demonstrating the efficacy of the excluded natural therapies.’ However, it appears evident that the scientific review that led to the health funding cuts was not conducted in the same way as a recently ...published systematic review by Southern Cross University, which focused on the evidence for whole-system, multi-modality naturopathic medicine worldwide. With an abundance of research on individual ‘tools of the trade’ (e.g. dietary supplements, herbs etc), but limited evidence evaluating the complexity of naturopathic care as a whole system, the researchers sought to gather qualitative scientific evidence in naturopathic medicine as a modality, not on single treatment or preventative agents. LINK IN BIO :::::::; Reviewing research from America, Canada, Germany India, Australia, United Kingdom and Japan, across a range of chronic clinical conditions, they discovered predominately positive results across cultures and health outcomes. In clear contradiction of the review of Naturopathy for the private health insurance reforms, the researchers concluded that ‘To date, research in whole-system, multi-modality naturopathic medicine shows that it is effective for treating cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal pain, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, anxiety, and a range of complex chronic conditions. (thanks to bWellness and Biopractica) The complete study is here But the good news is you CAN STILL CLAIM FOR NUTRITION WITH THE FOLLOWING FUNDS AHM Australian Unity CBHS NIB HBF GU Health Westfund Health Please check with your health fund if you are with BUPA to see if you are covered. #sad #evidence #why #herbalpharmacy #herbalistsofinstagram #elanoraheights #northernbeaches #monavale #apothecary #naturopathy #rules See more

06.01.2022 Shared from Vital.ly with thanks Curcumin and recovery time in COVID-19 patients Wendy McLean | Educator 20th Jan, 2021... Curcumin and COVID-19 Curcumin improves recovery time in COVID-19 patients Published in Phytotherapy Research, the findings of a recent clinical trial indicate that curcumin may improve the recovery time of hospitalised patients with mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) (1). In the open-label non-randomised clinical trial, 41 inpatients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 based on PCR test, lung CT, and clinical signs and symptoms were assigned to either a nano-curcumin group (n=21) or a control group (n=20). The nano-curcumin group received two capsules twice daily containing 40 mg curcuminoids as nanomicelles for 2 weeks. Patients in both groups received standard care, with no significant difference between the nano-curcumin and control group regarding standard treatment (1). Compared to the control group, the nano-curcumin group had faster resolution of symptoms including fever and chills, cough, tachypnoea, and myalgia, and significantly higher lymphocyte counts after 1 week and at discharge. Atrial O2 saturation (SaO2) was significantly higher in the nano-curcumin group after 2, 4, 7, and 14 days of follow-up. The length of supplementation oxygen use and hospitalisation was significantly shorter than the control group. Nearly half of the patients (47.62%) in the nano-curcumin group experienced complete recovery, including full symptom resolution and normalisation of CRP, SaO2 and lymphocyte count, compared to 15% in the control group. In the nano-curcumin group, no patients experienced a deterioration of infection during the 2-week follow-up period, but 40% of the control group did. No significant adverse reactions were reported in the nano-curcumin group (1). As an anti-inflammatory, curcumin has potent inhibitory effects on NF-B, and several proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukins IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-. These anti-inflammatory effects may mitigate the pathophysiological and clinical features of COVID-19 (2,3,4). Furthermore, curcumin has antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticoagulant, and anti-viral effects (2,3,5). Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) causes pulmonary fibrosis and is the leading cause of COVID-19 mortality, mostly due to cytokine storm induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (6,7). Experimental studies indicate that curcumin can modulate the inflammatory response in viral-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome and suppress pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, and oedema (8,9). Curcumin has demonstrated activity against numerous viruses, including influenza and other coronaviruses, by interfering with viral replication cycle, penetration, and cellular signalling (5,10). Recently, curcumin has been shown in silico studies (computer simulations) to prevent the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 into cells, by binding to viral proteins and viral attachment sites of ACE2 receptor, as well as inhibiting viral replication (11,12,13). The current study is the first human clinical trial to evaluate curcumin efficacy and safety in COVID-19 infection. Results suggest curcumin can significantly improve recovery time from mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection. Further high-quality, double-blind, randomised controlled trials with larger sample size are required to assess the study's clinical significance, particularly in patients with a more severe form of infection References 1 SaberMoghaddam N, Salari S, Hejazi S, Amini M, Taherzadeh Z, Eslami S, Rezayat SM, Jaafari MR, Elyasi S.

01.01.2022 Creating sacred space for the first lesson in Shamanic Herbalism was all about setting the scene, creating an intention and being present. Made a mermaid latte (which was interesting as we learned about the four elements and the elemental spirits - sylph/air, salamander/fire, gnomes/earth, undines/water spirits & mermaids amazing meditation followed the learnings. How to make a smoke stick with local plants... can’t wait to make that! And information about creating ...sacred space. These things tie in so well with @paulawedo teachings on Sunday. New courses are sometimes daunting but I’m setting an intention each Monday to do this and I find myself excited #shamanicherbalism #greendoorhealthherbalapothecary #greendoorhealth #apothecary #herbs #medicinalherbs #herbalist #naturopathy #bespokeherbals #customherbals #plantmedicine #local #monavale #northernbeaches #elanoraheights #herbalistsofinstagram #herbalpharma See more
