Mental Health was once a taboo subject, even the Royal family have spoken out about their struggles with it.
This subject is one that is very close to my heart as I’ve previously suffered from PND. Because Mental health comes in many different forms and can present suddenly.
These blogs cover my own experience, as well as practical things that you can do to maintain good mental fitness.
I do not claim to have all the answers but know that there is always light at the end of even the darkest tunnel.
There can be lots of triggers for poor mental health including bereavement, job loss and financial difficulties. Or there can be seemingly no trigger. Small daily habits such as journaling, walking in nature and eating well all contribute to keeping you on an even keel.
I like to think of this as the foundation. If you are doing these things on a daily basis you can be agile and adapt to life’s changes.
It’s the most flexible tree that survives the storm, not the strongest.
Homeopathy is, of course, a brilliant source of healing for mental health issues, but the Bach flower remedies are specifically for emotional issues.
My Health Conditions Library covers a lot of ground, and that’s because my view of health goes a bit beyond the standard definition.
For me, homeopathic health isn’t simply about the absence of illness. It’s about your Vital Force, that inner energy that keeps you functioning, being strong and steady. It’s about having solid foundations that you actually look after.
I don’t think of good health as being free of illness.
I think of it as being able to cope when you do, and recover without it flooring you. I know this from my own experience; I’ve been a homeopathic patient for years, and the small things that used to drag me down just don’t have the same grip anymore. And when something does come up, I’ve got something to turn to.
