  • This patient had been suffering chronic insomnia, unable to sleep until 5am some nights 😣 
Two hours sleep wasn’t going to cut it if we were going to reach ANY of her treatment goals. Pulled out the big guns ... and things are on the up!

Don’t put up with suboptimal sleep. There are natural remedies (side-effect free!) that can help .. and once you’re back in good sleeping habits, life just feels better 🤸‍♀️ #sleep #insomnia #naturopath #mountevelyn #yarrarangesnaturopathy
  • When I prepare your tonics in consults it all looks so easy doesn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can assure you a herbalist’s life is anything but straightforward!

Every herb has different medicinal actions. Obviously I choose herbs with actions that will meet your treatment goals, and ensure that they’re safe and appropriate (won’t interact with medications or health conditions, don’t contain saponins if you suffer from reflux etc etc etc). Using herbs with sound research behind them is super important to me (if my medicine doesn’t work - you’re not going to come back!!), so you can rest assured that all the herbs in my dispensary are the highest-quality preparations. (Thanks @mediherbaus )

After your consult (if appropriate) I put together your final formula ... every herb has a different therapeutic dose and ALL my clients know that numbers aren’t my forte so this is where the calculator comes out 😬

And then we pour .... my favourite bit - (this part is my therapy, not yours 😛), and if you’re interested I start telling you about the reasons for using each herb.

For the formula pictured, the spiel might go something like this: “Arjuna - clinical trials show that it helps improve serum levels of total cholesterol, as well as reduce inflammatory markers - your recent blood tests show that we need to improve both of these.

Gynostemma - an adaptogen to help relieve the fatigue you’ve been experiencing. It also contains gypenosides, which I believe is the constituent responsible for the weight loss my patients tend to report when taking Gynostemma!

Baical Scullcap - anti-allergic ... whenever we take this one out of your formula your eczema tends to play up again so we’re keeping it in for now ... the flavonoids in Baical Scullcap decompose over time - this is why you’ll get some sediment in your doses sometimes.

Oats Seed - your general tonic herb. It’s particularly indicated for the suboptimal mood that menopause has you experiencing at the moment.” There you have it! An insight into the ‘glamorous’ behind-the-scenes making of your personalised herbal tonics 😁

  • Who loves a handbook?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ There are many reasons and seasons for fatigue, including:
😩 Stress
😴 Poor sleep
💦 Dehydration
🍫Blood glucose disturbances
😢 Mood disturbances 
Etc etc.

You shouldn’t have to put up with consistently feeling flat and tired - physically and/or mentally.

From a Naturopathic perspective, I’m interested in uncovering and addressing WHY you feel so tired, at the same time as helping you feel more energetic and implementing strategies to restore and maximise your energy levels long-term.

Talk to me at your next appointment (or book one now!) if your physical & mental energy could do with a boost 🤸‍♀️ #fatigue #stress #nutrition #sleep #toxicload #restore #energy #naturopath #nutritionist #herbalist #yarrarangesnaturopathy #mountevelyn
  • Make 2020 the year you stop just getting stuck on the first one. Remember: a dream without a plan is just a wish 💫

  • Post-it note to parents! School’s back ... it’s well and truly time to get back into routine and OUT of holiday-mode 🙌🏻 February appointments can be booked at:

  • Nobody can do it for you. But the rewards you get from implementing the changes suggested at your appointments are worth it.

When a person stops making excuses - they don’t have the time, they don’t ‘believe’ in natural medicine, the herbs are too yucky 🤪 - and leans into the support, encouragement and guidance offered ... that’s when the healing starts.
