🌍✨ Coming together for the future of homeopathy ✨🌍

This weekend, homeopaths from across South Africa — and beyond — gathered in Cape Town for the HSA Congress 2025. A space to learn, connect, and grow together as we explored the latest scientific advances and the role of homeopathy in shaping modern healthcare. 💚

Grateful for every practitioner, speaker, and supporter who made this moment possible — here’s to building a stronger, healthier future, together. 🌿

Increasingly, medical researchers are examining what are called biomarkers to confirm homeopathic effects on living organisms. It's hard even for skeptics to ignore that kind of evidence.

Researchers in Italy have recently published a paper in the renowned journal "Nature" that looks at the effects of the homeopathic medicine Drosera rotundifolia on gene expression in bronchial cells.

Their findings?
D. rotundifolia did not impair cell viability and was shown to be a stimulant of cell functions by regulating the expression of dozens of genes after 3 h, and the effects were amplified after 6 h of treatment. The main differentially expressed genes encoded ligands of epithelial growth factor receptor, proteins involved in xenobiotic detoxification and cytokines, suggesting that D. rotundifolia could stimulate self-repair systems, which are impaired in airway diseases. Furthermore, D. rotundifolia acts on a complex and multifaceted set of genes and may potentially affect different layers of the bronchial mucosa.

The Benefits of GLP-1 Agonists with Akkermat for Weight Loss and Sugar Management

In the pursuit of effective weight loss and blood sugar control, the combination of cutting-edge treatments like GLP-1 agonists from natural extracts like chili pepper, rich in capsaicinoids, and fenugreek extract, celebrated for its dietary fiber galactomannans found in Akkermat is gaining attention for its synergistic health benefits.

GLP-1 Agonists: The Modern Approach

GLP-1 agonists mimic the natural glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone, crucial for managing metabolism and appetite. Their benefits include:

Weight Reduction: They suppress appetite and delay gastric emptying, promoting satiety and reducing caloric intake.

Blood Sugar Stabilization: By enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucose production, they support diabetes management.

Cardiometabolic Support: GLP-1 agonists also offer protective effects against cardiovascular diseases.

Akkermat: Capsicum’s Powerhouse Extract - Nature's alternative

Derived from red chili peppers, Akkermat is a natural compound packed with bioactive benefits:

Boosted Metabolism: It enhances thermogenesis, helping burn calories more efficiently.

Blood Sugar Regulation: Akkermat supports insulin sensitivity and reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: Its high levels of phytochemicals combat oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting overall metabolic health.

Increase of Akkermansia muciniphila gut bacteria: Through modulatory action on the intestinal environment and gut microbiota, influencing its composition, may influence glucose homeostasis, weight, and metabolic health.

A Potent Combination for Metabolic Health

GLP-1 agonists responsonse from Akkermat creates a powerful synergy:

Comprehensive Weight Management: reducing appetite while enhances fat burning and metabolic efficiency.

Improved Sugar Control: Akkermat’s effects on insulin sensitivity complement the glucose-regulating action.

Holistic Health Benefits: This combination targets multiple pathways, improving not just weight and sugar levels but overall energy and vitality.

Integrating these strategies, alongside a balanced diet and active lifestyle, provides an innovative approach to achieving long-term metabolic health. Feel free to contact us for more information and how we can help you with a natural approach to health and wellbeing!
