13.01.2022 In 1929 fibre was defined as unavailable carbohydrates as it is the indigestible parts of plant foods. ~ #FibreFriday #FiberFriday #fibre #fiber #UnavailableCarbohydrate #carbohydrate #carbohydrates #PlantFoods #WholeFoods #health #healthy #HealthWitch

12.01.2022 Spinach (Spinach Oleracea) is a flowering plant found naturally Central & Western Asia however there are beliefs that the #plant was first introduced from Persia. Spinach, like most #LeafyGreenVegetables show high levels of #vitamins such as #iron, #calcium & #VitaminK. However raw #spinach contains #oxalates which can prevent the absorption of vitamins like iron in the stomach & small intestine, cooked spinach is more readily absorbed. Spinach has also been found to be high in #antioxidants and contain enough levels of #nitrates to support #cardiovascular health. #HealingPowerOfPlants #HealthWitch

08.01.2022 Persimmons are a fruit native to traditionally warmer environments like areas in China, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Turkey, Central America & Italy. The #medicinal & #nutritional value of the #persimmon is generally known among Asian populations. In Ozark #folklore slicing the persimmon seed was used to predict the severity of an upcoming winter, & in Korean folklore the #fruits are known for scaring away tigers. This fruit is very #astringent until ripened making the fruit very #...sweet. Eating an unripened persimmon may create a #phytobezoar, which is a woody like undigestiable ball of #food that can make a person very unwell. These fruits are higher in dietary #fibre than apples but are generally lower in #micronutrients. Research suggests that #persimmons could help reduce symptoms of #cardiovascular disorder & type 2 #diabetes by working against #hyperlipidemia & #hyperglycaemia. ~ #TheHealingPowerOfPlants #HealthWitch See more

With intuitive & achievable goals you’ll be feeling more in charge of your well being & empowered in your body after just one consult. My goal has always been to help others be their best selves; to demystify the medical system & put people’s wellness back into their own hands. Treatment plans are always created in collaboration with you, prioritising what is easy & accessible for best results. Over the... years I have helped a number of people with a variety of imbalances. From gut issues, to allergies, skin issues & mental health to name a few. I work from a trauma informed space & strive to be as accessible to people from all walks for life. I have experience working with people living with disabilities, neurodivergency, gender diversity & queer people, sex workers & people of colour.

My consults are available at a sliding scale to accomodate for all lived experiences, I accept trade offers too. Please don’t let money be a barrier to your health, as we all deserve wellness even under late capitalism.

01.01.2022 Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) is an #edible #flowering #plant from the same family as #shallots, #garlic & #leeks. It is found growing across Asia, Europe & North America. Romans have long believed #chives could relieve #sunburn & a sore throat, as well as increasing blood pressure & working as a #diuretic. Not much research has been done recently into the #medicinal actions of chives, however #phytochemicals present in the #plant suggests that it has #antiinflammatory, #antioxidant, #anthelmintic & #antihypertensive actions. The flowers have also been found to be high in important fatty acids such as palmitic acid (improves #cardiovascular & #pancreatic #disease), #linoleic acid (for #heart health) & stearic acid (for softening & soothing #skin). #HealingPowerOfPlants #HealthWitch
