Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing that involves a range of different modalities such as nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, flower essences and more.

A naturopathic approach to sleep begins by exploring the root causes of why sleep may be disrupted to help restore the body's natural sleep-wake cycles.

Common naturopathic approaches to improve sleep may include:

😴 Herbal medicine that could help to calm the nervous system, reduce restlessness and support more restorative sleep.

😴 Dietary changes or supplementation to address nutrient deficiencies that might be impacting the body’s ability to relax and regulate sleep cycles.

😴 Stress management techniques such as adaptogenic herbs, breathwork or mindfulness, aimed to help regulate cortisol and support adrenal function.

😴 Optimising sleep hygiene, which might help encourage more consistent and restorative sleep patterns.

We know that sleep is so much more than just simply “switching off” 😴

It's a complex interplay of hormonal balance, nervous system regulation, nutritional status and lifestyle choices.

Common underlying causes of poor sleep might include:

💤 Chronic stress or anxiety
💤 Poor blood sugar regulation
💤 Hormonal imbalances (including cortisol and melatonin)
💤 Nutrient deficiencies (such as magnesium, B vitamins, and iron)
💤 Inflammatory or digestive conditions
💤 Poor sleep hygiene and lifestyle habits

Our qualified natural health practitioners take the time to assess your history, symptoms and lifestyle to identify the potential root causes of poor sleep, which could help restore your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

As we settle back into the rhythm of work and school, it is important to consider how balanced sleep can impact our overall health and improve our immune system.

Sleep is a natural safeguard for our immune health, making it one of the most critical pillars of overall wellbeing.

When we sleep, our bodies work tirelessly to repair cells and produce immune-boosting proteins called cytokines that are essential in fighting off infections and inflammation.

Consistent and balanced sleep can help to support more efficient immune responses in the short and long term.

At Essendon Natural Health, our team of natural health practitioners take a holistic approach to help support you in returning to routine and improving sleep patterns. Visit our website or give us a call on (03) 9337 8572 to book an appointment today: www.essendonnaturalhealth.com.au

Nutrition plays a key role in helping children feel calm, focused and energised throughout the school day. Having regular and balanced meals provides essential nutrients that their developing bodies need to thrive.

Here are some simple and realistic strategies families and caregivers can use to support their child’s nutrition over time:

🍴 Prioritising protein at breakfast while reducing added sugars and refined carbohydrates

🍴 Getting kids involved in food choices and preparation

🍴 Maintaining predictable meal and snack times

🍴 Using the “safe food + new food” approach when offering meals

As families settle back into routine and children return to school, it can be helpful to consider the role nutrition plays in a child’s ability to focus, regulate emotions and maintain steady energy throughout the school day.

The brain relies on balanced blood sugar, adequate protein, healthy fats and key micronutrients such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins to support concentration, memory, and overall cognitive function.

Diets high in refined sugars and processed foods might potentially contribute to rapid fluctuations in blood sugar and nutrient deficiencies. This could lead to irritability, poor attention, energy crashes or periods of hyperactivity, making learning and emotional regulation more challenging.

When children are well nourished through regular, balanced meals made up of whole foods, they are more likely to feel calm, focused, and energised throughout the school day.

While the core principles of naturopathy apply across all ages, working with children requires a distinct and considered approach.

Children’s naturopathy considers the needs of growing and developing bodies, recognising that the immune, nervous and digestive systems are still maturing and changing.

Strong attention is given to the foundational pillars of health:

✨ Nutrition
✨ Gut health
✨ Sleep quality
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Stress resilience
✨ Immune support

A collaborative approach is key to care for children by equipping parents and caregivers with education and practical strategies that can be easily integrated into everyday family life.

Did you know vitamin D could play a role in how well you sleep? 🤔 💤

Emerging research suggests that maintaining optimal vitamin D levels may help support the body’s natural sleep cycle by regulating melatonin production (the hormone responsible for our sleep and wake cycles).

Low vitamin D levels have also been linked to an increased risk of sleep difficulties, such as falling or staying asleep.

If you struggle with sleep issues, addressing a potential vitamin D deficiency could be one step toward deeper and more restful sleep.

At Essendon Natural Health, we take a holistic and comprehensive approach to support your health and wellness goals.

Often called the “sunshine vitamin”, Vitamin D has an essential role in supporting bone health, immune function, sleep and mood.

A deficiency in vitamin D can show up in subtle but significant ways.

Some common symptoms that could indicate a vitamin D deficiency include:

☀️ Persistent fatigue and low energy, even after a full night’s sleep.

☀️ Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and maintaining strong bones and muscles. A deficiency may contribute to bone pain and muscle weakness.

☀️ Low vitamin D levels can affect immune function, potentially contributing to frequent colds, flu and infections.

☀️ Studies suggest that low vitamin D might impact mood regulation and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

☀️ Insufficient vitamin D could also slow the healing of minor injuries or cuts.

Visit our blog to learn more about the benefits of vitamin D, signs of deficiency, and how you can help naturally optimise your vitamin D levels: https://essendonnaturalhealth.com.au/understanding-the-benefits-of-vitamin-d/

Despite Australia’s sunny climate, many people unknowingly have low vitamin D levels, which can impact bone health, immune function, sleep and mood.

Sunlight is the most natural way to boost Vitamin D levels to support your overall health.

For us in Australia, mid-morning to early afternoon is usually the most effective time when UVB rays are strongest. Just a few minutes of sun exposure on bare skin, such as your arms and legs, on most days of the week can often be enough during the summer months.

While sun exposure is important, it's equally important to practise proper sun safety to prevent the risk of skin damage.

Learn more about how a holistic approach can help to support healthy Vitamin D levels.
