Be Breast Aware…

Do you suffer from tender, puffy, enlarged, aching and sore breasts? Often this is suffered in silence due to embarrassment or thinking it is the norm. Breast congestion can be relieved amazingly through kinesiology techniques which reduce chest congestion .You can do one of these at home yourself, make your right hand into a fist like shape, massage firmly from the knee upwards on the outside of the leg (along trouser seam) towards the hip while at the same time holding the tender area of your breast. Repeat for 20 seconds or so until you feel the tenderness and discomfort ease. Repeat on left side also if necessary. A little breast tenderness [Read more...]

Do you suffer from Lactose Intolerance?

Lactose Intolerance: Abdominal bloating/swelling, gagging, vomiting, nausea, excess wind, tummy pain, cramps, diarrhoea, back pain, congested sinuses. These symptoms can be due to you being lactose intolerant. Lactose is the sugar found in milk and all dairy products made from milk. The enzyme lactase is needed to breakdown lactose in the small intestine so the lactose can easily be absorbed. When the enzyme is deficient in the system, the lactose passes directly into the large intestine. The bacteria present in the large intestine break it down into lactic acid. Lactic acid causes irritation to the bowel resulting in a laxative effect resulting [Read more...]

Are You Embarrassed By Your Stale Smelly Breath?

Mary came to me with as she said a very embarrassing problem… no one to date was able to sort out her problem of bad breath, more often than not she saw people making strange faces or pulling back from her while she spoke with them, many days she could smell it herself and then she knew it was really bad. The problem was made worse as she actually worked closely one to one with students often they ridiculed her. Mary was left feeling awful, embarrassed, lonely, awkward, withdrawing from her friends, family and work colleagues not only was bad breath the issue now, but this led to very bad posture and very poor self esteem. She could see [Read more...]

The Truth About Sweeteners

Don’t be fooled….It may be sweeter than you think!! Understanding food labels can be very difficult sometimes unless you have a degree. In the past few weeks I have been treating people who have had varying symptoms of pain in different parts of the body to ongoing tiredness, difficulty getting out of the bed in the morning, energy slumps during the day, and digestive problems of indigestion, heartburn, fluctuating bowel movements of constipation to diarrhoea. Firstly it is important to know…Pain comes from inflammation. Tiredness can be due to several reasons, but mainly difficulty getting out of bed and energy slumps is due to a congested [Read more...]

What is Wrong with my Gut?

Suffering from vague and mild intestinal upsets to debilitating fatigue and intolerances to food and environmental substances such as cosmetics, cleaning agents, perfumes and so on. This may be due to gut imbalance or intestinal dysbiosis. In healthy intestines /gut the body contains over 400 different kinds of micro-organisms all living within a delicate balance within their own ecosystem.  In other words this system works perfectly happy independently without any issues until we cause an imbalance. Stress on an ongoing basis creates acid in the body and promotes floral imbalance. Reducing stress is critical for a good working digestive system [Read more...]

Travel Illness & How it Can Be Avoided..

Deirdre was so excited about her holidays , two weeks away in the sunshine..towards the end of her holiday she was beginning to feel just not right, queezy..she put it down to the usual ..alcohol, the heat, the change of diet..upon her return home and to work she was very sick, vomiting all of the time, if not feeling very nauseous, she had no appetite and was rapidly losing weight, the doctor treated her for a tummy bug and said it would pass in a few days.

She now found after eating a meal she could suddenly [Read more...]
