25.01.2022 HOW ARE YOUR CHILDREN COPING??? There is no doubt that our children and teens have had to deal with a lot of change over the last few months. In Australia, schools have been back a number of weeks and I’m sure you’ve all seen a mixture of excitement, anxiety and perhaps even frustration in your children and adolescents as they returned to school. This was not like going back to school after the school holidays, our kids have been disconnected from each other and their usual s...ocial groups for a very long time, for most it was twice that of the summer school holidays. The Australian Bush Flower Essences has what is known as Adol Essence, it is aptly named to address the major issues teenagers commonly experience but these are common to younger children too and particularly with all the change they have faced recently. This Remedy enhances acceptance of self, communication, social skills, harmony in relationships, maturity, emotional stability and optimism. Sporting clubs are also starting to return to training and our children are becoming more active again. Hooray! Adol Essence is a wonderful support assisting in emotional harmony and balance. Flannel Flower is one of the ingredients in this Essence and it brings great enjoyment in and wanting to be physically active. Some of the other key Bush Essences in Adol Essence that are beneficial right now are: Bottlebrush: encouraging the ability to cope with change and moving on Dagger Hakea: for releasing resentment and allowing forgiveness Five Corners: for boosting self love and acceptance Flannel Flower: wanting and enjoying being physically active Kangaroo Paw: supporting kindness, sensitivity and enjoyment of people Red Helmet Orchid: helping release rebellious behaviour towards authority figures (parents, teachers) Tall Yellow Top: bringing a sense of belonging If this blend sounds perfect for your youngster, then send me a message, and I will happily order this for you!

24.01.2022 Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an analytical test that measures the mineral composition of hair. It is a safe and non-invasive test that reflects the level of nutrient and toxic elements in body tissue. It is regarded by integrative doctors, naturopaths and nutritional therapists as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care. Hair is a body tissue made up of mostly dead, keratinized cells fused together. The shaft of th...Continue reading

24.01.2022 Hi Everyone Just a quick update as my *Glamma* duties have now finished and I am ready to once again take bookings (although a night or two of solid sleep is needed-lol)! For those who have tried to contact me lately, "thank you for your patience" and I will be in contact soon. To make your next booking, please call 0427 616 430

24.01.2022 Here's some fun facts! Did you know that 1 in 3 Australians is vitamin D deficient? And that experts ONCE believed that our daily vitamin D needs could not be obtained from food! How wrong they were! Because, Guess What??? ... New research now reveals that mushrooms exposed to sunlight naturally generates high levels of vitamin D! And our Aussie farmers are leading the world & have developed a way to stimulate Vitamin D production using just 2 seconds of pulsed UV light! And these vitamin D mushrooms are available for us at our local fruit & veg shops/departments. Vitamin D mushrooms contain 10 micrograms or more of vitamin D per serve (a serve is approximately 100gms or 3 button mushrooms), which meets our daily requirements easily! Here's a DIY vitamin D trick, just leave your regular button mushrooms in the warm winter sun for just 1 hour to generate enough vitamin D for your daily needs! Gotta love mushrooms! Alright! so why is it so important to make sure we are getting our daily dose of vitamin D, well Aussies are really good at protecting their skin from harmful solar ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation-sunlight! Now, sunlight is actually really important as vitamin D is a steroid (cholesterol-derived) pro-hormone thats converted to a hormone in our bodies and is made in the skin when exposed to sunlight, and if we are not getting enough sunlight then we must get it from our food sources, like mushrooms that have been exposed to sunlight! Vitamin D helps us to also maintain our calcium and phosphate levels in our blood which in-turn supports our nerves & muscles, & our bones! But, vitamin D also regulates our immunity! So, we already know that other foods contain vitamin D, such as fish liver oils-cod, halibut, herring, tuna, also butter, egg yolks, milk & sprouted seeds, but I am sure that sun exposed mushrooms you may have not known about!!

23.01.2022 Some days we need to just smudge the energies right out of our space! I now have in stock, large White Sage Smudge Sticks grown and sustainably harvested in California by Native American’s. These Smudge Sticks are Chemical free, sustainably wild-harvested, & are not commercially grown! Many indigenous cultures use smudge sticks in spiritual ceremonies and to remove negative energies and spirits. And you too can do this ritual in your home, your healing rooms, your work space... even! Every person who came along to my meditation classes enjoyed my ritual of smudging them before entering the meditation space I had created, and I also use it regularly in my clinic too! Sage (Salvia officinalis), in the dried form is a great herb for this purpose, but many other herbs & spices can be used to create your own specific blends, even other parts of a plant can be used such as the flowering part, even the dried roots! And we are so lucky in Australia to have such amazing native flora, so get creative!! Many people use a smudge stick on its own by holding the tip over a burning candle for around 30 seconds then blow out the flame and fan the stick with a feather or by using your hand to wave around your space, then immerse in a small bowl of sand to completely put it out. I like to crumble the sage into my abalone shell then once the clearing has finished I leave it to fully burn until only the ash is left, I then place the ash into my garden returning it to Mother Earth. x Sharon

22.01.2022 Winter Is Coming Its coming to that time of the year again where we see an increase in the common cold (acute coryza), which as we know is a highly contagious viral infection. With the last year or so teaching us the importance of good hygiene, its now more than ever that we need to improve our immunity. As a naturopath, my primary aim is to ensure your immunity is functioning to its optimum level, this then will shorten the course of any infection you may contract. Diet, nutritional medicines, herbal medicines, lifestyle factors are all considerations that we need to take into account. For more information, or to make an appointment, please call 0427 616 430

18.01.2022 What if? We are only in June, and I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say how intense it’s already been this year! If you could change anything in our world right now, what would it be?

17.01.2022 I am so excited to be sharing this! I've had a lot of interest in essential oils from many of you, so here is a great course from a fully qualified Aromatherapist. Plus, we can do this in the comfort of our own homes!

16.01.2022 Wondering what a Naturopath actually does??? Well, it has many many layers, let me start with the words of one our most respected Australian Naturopaths - Leah Hechtman who wrote "As naturopaths, we offer a unique perspective of health care & provide significant support & relief to our patients, our treatments encourage self-responsibility & involvement in the healing process, which fosters gentle, restorative & ameliorating approaches to medical conditions, Naturopathy vali...dity is time-tested & long-standing" (how perfectly described!!) Naturopaths in Australia practice herbal medicine & nutrition with other modalities such as iridology, massage, flower remedies, celloids & tissue salts as the basis, however, many incorporate mind-body practices too & in my practice that is meditation training, reiki healing & bio-magnetism. Below is a great little animation to explain a little more, enjoy! https://fb.watch/3jjrLg4aLR/

15.01.2022 Just a quick update as we approach the festive season, appointments are available until Friday 18th December, please dont hesitate contacting me to book in as I will be closed from Saturday 19th December 2020 Have a great weekend!!

14.01.2022 Woohoo!!! Now in Moranbah!

11.01.2022 If you have ever been a patient of mine, you will know that when I make a prescription for a liquid herbal formula, I always take a dose too...My theory is that I need to fully understand the sensations we can experience, the taste of the herbal blend & the "energy" the herbs have... But also, its a way for me to support you by really "understanding" what I am asking you to take, herbal medicine is as old as our human existence, the actions of herbal medicine is vast (to say ...the least), and the conditions they treat are just as vast.... I recently prescribed a herbal formula for a case of upper respiratory tract infection, and one of the herbs included was my Echinacea blend of both Echinacea purpurea & Echinacea angustifolia.... Now this herb, when its of a superior quality, has substantial levels of what is known as alkyl-amides, and this is what gives the tongue a strong tingling sensation, with the mouth, the throat and chest a warming sensation, which is why it is used as this mild anaesthetic sensation calms the symptoms down when taken orally or as a gargle! It's really quite bizarre to experience! Echinacea, such a pretty and delicate looking herb that is a wonderful immune stimulator, with very clear and surprising reactions to our bodies! This herb is well tolerated, however there can be allergic reactions, so please-always seek professional advise prior to taking any herbal formula! Healing with Herbs! LOVE IT!!

08.01.2022 It is my belief that Australians should have access to quality complementary medicines that comply with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) stringent standards, to ensure highest quality, safe and effective medicines. The TGA is now seeking the public’s views on the potential down-scheduling of cannabidiol (CBD) to make it more accessible in Australia. Currently patients access CBD on the web from overseas sellers. These products are not required to meet the TGA man...ufacturing requirements and as such can be poor quality and limit the results our patients may experience. The TGA has recently reviewed the safety of low dose cannabidiol. This review concluded that CBD presents a good safety and tolerability profile at the low dose range of under 60 mg/day (for adults) and identified that there are potential conditions for low dose cannabidiol that would not require oversight by a medical practitioner. Further, the review noted that low-dose CBD (i.e. less than or equal to 1 mg/kg/day) has possible utility in the management of chronic and generalised pain of broad aetiologies through both systemic and localised administration and in anxiety and insomnia. This TGA consultation relates to 98% pure CBD in a low dose to achieve a medicinal effect. It does not illicit psychoactive effects as it does not contain active quantities of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). If this issue matters to you and you think that CBD would be beneficial for your family or friends, participate in the consultation by providing your feedback. The deadline for this consultation is this Friday 22nd May. Your Health Your Choice have made it easy for you to have your say with the CBD TGA consultation process. Just go to the 'Your Health Your Choice' fb page If you have friends or family that have experienced positive results with CBD orally or topically, encourage them to lodge these case studies/reports as part of this consultation.

07.01.2022 ...one of my favourite herbs has to be lavender (or botanically-Lavandula officinalis), the scent is so relaxing and calming, I love that about it! * Did you know that lavender is native to the Mediterranean regions, and has been cultivated for centuries for its aromatic flowers? The essential oil, or an infusion of the scented flowers are used widely in aromatherapy due to its sedative actions, and also its used to alleviate cramps & muscle pain! A few drops gently rubbed in...to the temples can sooth headaches & dizziness as well. * Its quite a hardy plant to grow, and suits a well drained soil and sunny position, and when you trim those gorgeous purple heads & petals it not only stimulates more growth, but stimulates our immediate auric field with cleansing energies. * And, receiving or giving lavender symbolises of love and appreciation!! * It really is a gorgeous addition to any garden, and with many types to choose from your collection can grow & grow! It's a magnet for bee's and butterflies too, making it even more perfect!! * So, how do I use lavender, the list is long lol, I use it in diffusers, smudging mixes, to sooth insect bites, burning lavender infused candles, just having small bunches dotted around is so comforting! * Heres a tip for those parents/carers out there with young children who have sleeping difficulties-add a couple of drops to their evening bath along with about 1/2 cup of epsom salts to instigate a calming response, then add another drop or two to their pillow, or special bed comforter, and gently rub a few drops (mixed in a carrier oil of course) on their temples, they'll sleep much much better! * Lavender, it is really a very special plant!

02.01.2022 Our sense of smell exerts massive influences on our brain activity, and this is one of the reasons why a particular fragrance can conjure very specific memories & can transport us back to someone or something... Today, my family (those that still live under my roof) are preparing for our Christmas Holiday-and we all know how stressful this can be right?? So...to help us all stay focussed and calm, I am burning candles, candles with a particular scent for this purpose... So, I...'ve chosen Lemongrass, it's still one of my favourite fragrances... Lemongrass is a grassy, tropical plant that is used in cooking & also herbal medicine. Lemongrass essential oil (like used in my candles) is extracted from the leaves and stalks, it has a very distinct citrus fragrance & we can find it in a variety of other personal care products, such as diffusers, soaps, skin care & the like... Apart from a nostalgic memory, scented candles along with other aromatherapy products can effectively leverage us to feel calmer, happier & more productive space. In particular, I have found when burning a Lemongrass candle, I find it very calming & settling, in fact a study published in The Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine found that people exposed to a Lemongrass scent experienced a higher reduction in anxiety & tension compared to those who didn't inhale the scent, & those participants who experienced Lemongrass also recovered more quickly from a stress-inducing situation!! But, to confirm even further (for those critics out there), in another study from Japan, it was also found that the smell of citrus (such as Lemongrass) helps to eliminate emotional stress & boosts our moods for up to 30 minutes... As we know, stress increases our blood pressure, a 2015 study evaluated the effects of Lemongrass, it found that regular use of Lemongrass when combined with a Sweet Almond Oil in a massage once per week for 3 weeks lowered diastolic (the lower number) blood pressure than those in a control group, systolic (the top number) & pulse rate was not affected!! To enhance Lemongrass benefits even further, try and blend the refreshing, light citrussy fragrance with other vitalising fragrances such as Chamomile, Lavender, Rosemary or even Eucalyptus to produce a much broader sense of well-being... So, to bring a zestier sense around you, why not try Lemongrass and perhaps you will also find it calming & settling?? Now, BRING ON OUR FAMILY HOLIDAY!!! See more

01.01.2022 Blueberries - "a true super-food", its really the pretty & delicate purple go to quick snack most of us enjoy. These little bursts of yumminess have been eaten since pre-historic times, with many varieties grow wild in Asia, Europe & America, with commercially grown varieties only starting in the 20th century (luckily for us in the sub-tropics) With exceptional anti-oxidant activity (from the antho-cyanidins found in their purple, blue & red pigments), blueberries have been ...found to be of benefit against eye damage from age-related macular degeneration, with significant protection of our brains against Alzheimer's disease, and as an aid against urinary tract infections from that nasty E. coli!!! And, these little balls of delight are also great sources of Vitamins B2, C & E, along with a good source of fibre, pectin & manganese! It really is a little gem of a berry! Buy them when in season and at their cheapest, and store in the freezer-they freeze fantastically and are then on-hand to add to your morning yoghurt, or juice, or adding to your fruit salad! And, now with the weather warming up in Northern Australia, we begin to naturally crave cool, soothing fruits like blueberries. Just as nature provides-blueberries are already wrapped in their own protective skins ready for us to enjoy!

01.01.2022 As you know, we really are the product of 2 people, our parents, and the determination of how our DNA is gets done between conception and birth. Lots happens during cessation. We all started with a family related DNA Genetic set of programs when we are born. Depending on what is downloaded to us from our parents and grand-parents, and even further down our family lines, will depend on how our life will be mapped out and what health pre-dispositions are bestowed upon us. Many... things in our lives, our circumstances, personal events, and many other moments get in the way and create further distortions and malfunctioning of the DNA programs. When this becomes unresolved or not addressed, this brings compromised living and makes life interesting. We can stay this way or improve this. Natural health practitioners can help to improve the function of the DNA genes that have become compromised. DNA Genes contain different programs that drive the body functions. This can relate to the physical, chemical, mental, emotional and spiritual / soul traits. All of these are intertwined. One affects the other. So even though we are the product of our families DNA, we can support our own DNA to re-program & bring in a more optimal life... ...and I am here to help you get this started, book your appointment on 0427 616 430 or jump onto to my website @ https://holistichealthandhealingaustralia.com.au/contact/ or here @ https://www.facebook.com/Holistic-Health-Healing-Australia Have a great weekend!
