Herbs that help

There are literally hundreds of herbs with medicinal properties from the commonplace such as nettle and dandelion to the exotic such as saffron and myrhh. Where possible I tend to use herbs that are native to Europe and North America as I feel they suit our western constitution. Many I gather and grow myself and make many of my own tinctures and oils.

Natural remidies for sleeping disorders

Insomnia is a surprisingly common occurrence, with some estimating thirty percent of the population suffering some difficulties. Sleep is essential to both body and mind and impaired sleep, altered sleep patterns and other disturbances can impair the physical health and mental well-being of the person.

Forensic Hypnosis

Forensic hypnosis is used to explore the memory for investigative purposes. It's aim is to enable subjects to recall details of events which are elusive in the conscious state.

Often a person's conscious mind is absorbed in their feelings (e.g., fear, fascination, confusion) during the experience of witnessing the event or being the victim of the crime that the conscious memory is marginal if present at all.

Because the human mind has a dual nature (i.e conscious and subconscious), details may have been repressed or just simply escaped detection by the conscious mind, but may not have escaped the persons subconscious mind.

Herbs that help

Milk Thistle (silybum marianum) contains the compound silymarin and has been used in Europe for hundreds of years as a treatment for liver disorders. Research seems to back up this claim and modern herbalists use milk thistle to help in cases of jaundice and hepatitus, or in cases of alcohol abuse or protecting liver agianst weight lifting suplements.  Milk thistle is available in tincture or caps. 

Pain management

The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002 released a report entitled Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials. This report states that acupuncture "can be regarded as the method of choice for treating many chronically painful conditions."

According to WHO, acupuncture's effective rate in the treatment of chronic pain is comparable with that of morphine. Acupuncture has been shown clinically to trigger the central nervous system to release pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins. Many neurotransmitters are also affected by acupuncture, and changes in these may affect pain transmission from irritated nerves

Postnatal Conditions

Childbirth, though beautiful, is very exhausting to the body. New mums always feel their bodies are never the same as they used to be. Neither is their qi. Postpartum is an ideal time to use Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture to reactivate, rebuild and rebalance the body. More often the emphasis is on nourishing qi and blood, harmonizing yin and yang.
