If you are suffering from fatigue this post may help you...........

If you have been searching health solutions for fatigue you are almost certain to have read about adrenal fatigue. It is the natural therapies catch phrase for curing all types of tiredness.

Does the lifestyle, nutritional and herbal advice for overcoming adrenal fatigue work?

In my clinical experience, the approach is too basic because it misses the fundamental key, the nervous system.

Your nervous system filters ALL of your incoming information, from yourself and your environment. It's job is HUGE, particularly with the pressures of the past years.

Your nervous system is like a sponge, it can only soak up so much information before it becomes saturated. Now you are in overload, and fatigue sets in.

If this description fits you, all treatments must include restoring your nervous system. Given the right ingredients it is a quick responder, and the feeling of relief is life enhancing.

Herbal remedies are you key choices here, they work better than any supplement.

If you would like to discuss this further you can book an appointment via my online booking system at MB Naturopath.

Your body speaks to you all of the time.

If you're a woman, pain, discomfort and a general feeling something is just not right triggers a google search or a visit to your GP or health professional. Now, if you're a male let's face it, the most common first response is to ignore it for as long as you can, then eventually make the appointment (or your partner makes the appointment for you)!

One of the tricks to maintaining great health is noticing early signs of disease and listen to yourself. I think people who grew up without easy access to pharmaceutical drugs are the absolute legends at noticing early signs.

I believe this is where Naturopathy, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine absolutely shine. We are trained to notice early signs of disease.

I often hear a client say "My bloods were perfect so I was told nothing was wrong," but the persistent feeling keeps nudging them something is not right.

Listen to yourself and view your life from a wholistic health perspective, mind, body, emotion and spirit.

A foundational, basic diet principle is to reduce acidity and maintain an alkaline system. This diet is kind to your kidneys, bones and heart.

An alkaline diet is one of the main diet treatment strategies for osteoporosis. Alkalising minerals, like calcium are stored in your bones.

Consuming a diet high in meat, grains, dairy and low in fruit and vegetables raises your pH. Your body will take minerals from your bones to reduce body acid levels.

High acidic diets pressure your kidneys to filter out the load. Foods are actually given a PRAL number. PRAL stands for potential renal (kidney) acid load.

An alkalising diet is a simple and effect way of eating!

Have you ever wondered why you experience brain fog, can’t remember people’s names or what to pick up at the supermarket during times of stress?

Long term stress actually shrinks your thinking areas of the brain and enlarges the fight or flight part of your brain!!

This means over time you notice you have become more emotional and less logical.

There are absolutely fabulous herbs that can help brain functioning. Herbal tinctures taste can be challenging but their positive effect on the body can be truly amazing. The other beauty of herbal tinctures is they can be personalised to each individual client!

Supplement Tip

When you are in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy take your pregnancy multi vitamin at night.

Multi vitamins contain zinc which can make you feel nauseous, which is the last thing you want to feel on top of morning sickness.

Babies and infants

When you look at the size and proportions of a child's body it gives you a good indication on where to apply physical therapies.

A baby through to 2 years of age has a big brain compared to the rest of their body surface area. Any medicines, natural or pharmaceutical cross the blood brain barrier easily. This is why their use comes with strong cautions.

Touch is essential for life and robust health, particularly in 0-2 year age group. Use this as your method for applying medicine if you need it.

You will achieve amazing results by cuddling, wrapping and stroking babies.

Certain creams, lotions, balms, essential oils, homeopathics and prebiotics can all be used for 0-2 years.

Parenting children at any age can be challenging. We all work out our strategies as we go!

Learning to understand what children's words and actions are communicating is an art form learnt over the years. The learning commences when listening and differentiating our babies cries as hunger, wet nappy, hurt, tired or sick.

Along the way we do our best to meet our kids physical, mental and emotional needs to keep them fit and healthy.

A new learning and expansion happens again during the teenager years!!

One of the reasons why I love having parents and/or children in my clinic is I get the opportunity to share the wealth of Naturopathic knowledge. It can and does help significantly during these stages of growth and development.

The gifts mother nature has available for healing is exciting! Children are so receptive to natural healing methods and techniques.

As a practitioner and a mum I understand the challenges and pure joyful bliss of going the distance with your children :-)

What is it about the human habit of wanting it fast even when we know it's not best for our health?

My current real life example is the death of our microwave oven.

I thought the microwave was there as decoration to fill what otherwise would be a hole in the wall. Food tastes better reheated in a pot on the stove (it does!!)

Well, take something away and then suddenly I realised the food in my hands wasn't able to get a quick zap in microwave.

Now I'm faced with do I replace it or not? How many people have moved on from their microwaves? If yes what did you replace it with?

PEA as a treatment for Chronic Pain and Inflammation

PEA is a natural substance found in our bodies. It is rich in egg yolk and was the reason why egg nog was used to treat inflammation back in the 1940s.

Fast forward to 2007 and the way PEA helps alleviate pain has now been understood.

PEA is another one of those products you won't find in the retail line. It can be useful for pain associated with endometriosis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, menstrual pain, rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathy. I often add PEA to topical creams to help heal pain at the local level.

If you are experiencing pain a Mediterranean or Vegetarian diet has shown to be the best in helping to reduce pain.

Please note, PEA is a practitioner only product and can only be obtained through booking a consultation.

Therapy for Your Skin

Skin is your body's largest sense organ. Anyone who has suffered from shingles, eczema, herpes or hives will agree with this fact! The excessive stimulation to your nerves plays havoc with your emotions and the pain can be intense.

I have discovered a real need in my clinic for personalised skin care formulations for a variety of conditions including boils, herpes, eczema, shingles, haemorrhoids, varicose veins, acne, warts and painful joints.

The TGA has strict regulations on what can be claimed to be therapeutic. This means only big companies with a lot of money meet TGA compliance requirements. Many of these creams can lack the necessary therapeutic qualities for healing. As a practitioner I am allowed to make therapeutic claims for a personalised client formulation only.

My love for therapeutic creams and their potential for healing developed in my late teens when I learnt the craft of manufacturing skin care to heal my eczema. The individualised options for healing are unique and exciting. I believe there is a real need in the market place for individualised therapeutic creams.

If you need a therapeutic cream please get in contact with me :-))

Has anybody noticed they are more likely to have an allergic type response when drinking alcohol? Why does this happen?

Alcohol suppresses the production of an enzyme that breaks down histamine. Histamine is one of your body chemicals that can be implicated in allergic responses.

It's interesting that many people will consume high histamine foods whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly, wine, spirits or beer such as mature cheeses, deli meats or pizza. Combining the alcohol and food will increase the body histamine load leading to your symptoms.

The allergic response is short lived and will resolve once the alcohol has been eliminated out of your body, but it can definitely dampen the joy of another social event.

Obviously any allergy response needs to be addressed. Having a glass of alcohol is a joyful celebration for many people, particularly leading into the festive time of the year. Next time you have an alcoholic beverage try avoiding the high histamine foods!
