This is a blog I have been thinking about for a while based on my own life experience to some extent, but also from what I talk to clients about in consultation. We often get the idea when we become conscious on the life path that we are all going to have a great…
Hayfever is such a common problem these days and many sufferers arrive at the homeopath’s door after a round of specialists and drugs, including long term use of antihistamine, but often no great improvement. It can have such an impact on life and make the prospect of spring and summer, if seasonal, miserable. Hayfever usually…
I have written about copper toxicity from several different perspectives in the past. I am seeing more and more hair analysis with elevated copper in children and of course their parents, from whom this is often inherited. I have used hair analysis (HTMA) in my practice for more than fifteen years, in cases where well…
Headaches are a big problem for some people and there can be any number of underlying factors, some which are obvious, such as those which are diet related, and some which are not, such as environmental issues or heavy metal toxicity or high copper.

This is a subject I’ve written about in the past and I’m going to update just because it’s interesting! Those of you who use homeopathy regularly probably realise that a lot of the first aid remedies are made from plants, with a few mineral remedies included in there, such as the tissue salts and things…
I have an eye condition which is a little rare and which for years affected everything I did. I suffered headaches and extreme nausea and had very little visual acuity in my left eye. I wasn’t going blind, but my cornea was becoming more and more conical so that my vision was very distorted, to…
