The Healing Crisis – what is it?

The process of natural healing sometimes includes a healing crisis, also known as the detox reaction, the cleansing reaction or the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.

Homemade Bath Salts

Nourishing from the minerals, this bath salt recipe is so relaxing it should be used just before bed. An occasional soak in these salts can be done when feeling under the weather or generally exhausted. Recently I worked long hours outside and when I woke up the next morning my neck was ‘stuck’.

Common Drugs Hurt Your Brain

Benadryl, Dimetapp, Dramamine, Paxil, Unisom and VESIcare… any of these ring a bell with you? As a health practitioner for 18 years I hear stories every single day of why one of these drugs (or others) are needed on a daily basis. When I question further about the exact symptoms and when they began – that is where things become muddy. Sometimes so many dominoes have fallen, that it is hard to find our way back to the original [...]

Migraine Headaches

Do you have them? They are a big problem and affect millions of people. You can take drugs, but really should be asking what is the root cause. Sometimes these headaches are caused by peanuts, eggs or dairy – food sensitivities. A food challenge test is just that – you eat the possibly offending food throughout a day – on its own, and we see what happens. Here is something interesting. I’ve had clients who were intolerant to eggs, and [...]
