Specific condition advice
These Specific Condition Advice blogs cover 1 topic or ailment in detail. There are 5 practical tips you can put in place straight away if you suffer from a particular illness.
I aim to cover a wide range of ailments such as headlice, menopause, eczema, cystitis and more. Because I have explained these conditions from an energetic viewpoint, the root causes can be understood.
I have included charity details and helplines for support if relevant too.
Conventional medicine has very set patterns of diagnosis and treatment plan which normally includes some sort of pharmaceutical drugs. Also, exercise and lifestyle changes are often missed out.
Homeopathy can help with all of these conditions but I would always advise that this is done in conjunction with diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes.
These conditions are mainly chronic but some acute conditions are also covered. If there is a topic you would like to see me write about, then feel free to email me and let me know!
