Have you wondered whether you are absorbing the nutrients and minerals that you eat?

We need a variety of minerals in the correct proportions to be able to function, grow, heal and maintain a sense of wellbeing. We don’t just need them for our bones and teeth but for our nerves, muscles, energy and all body processes. We should be able to get adequate minerals from our diet but unfortunately this often doesn’t happen. You might think you have a healthy diet but the impact of deplete soils, pollutants, food additives and our busy stressful lives can mean our bodies don’t always have the correct mineral balance not to mention toxic metals as well.

One of the hair tests we do in clinic is the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis which provides a snapshot of the mineral balance of your hair and in turn whats happening in your body. This is all shown through the hair shaft.

If you are concerned about your health, and either have underlying health conditions or want to make sure you don’t develop any underlying conditions then contact me to find out more about your nutritional status.

Blueberries are such a great source of nutrition. What better way to get them than to also support local charities as well as being local suppliers. A win-win as also less food miles. If you are interested please contact Tessalia Park!

It never ceases to amaze me how powerful herbs can be. Sunday morning Jackson woke to find Astro's face all torn up from rubbing. He is a very itchy horse. I decided to use my human herbs and make a herbal formula for Astro and a cream as well. I am so surprised by Wednesday the difference. The photo on the left is Astro Sunday morning - although the photos don't really show how red raw and weepy it was. The others photo are Wednesday morning. After these years of using herbs you would think they would no longer surprise but nature is amazing!!

We all spend so much time ‘doing’ food. Whether it is eating food, preparing food or growing food and at times we just are not sure what foods work for us. We have a lot of different diet options when people go gluten free or dairy free or variations of both. The biocompatibility test is a great way to work out what foods work specifically for you as an individual. If you have health problems or just sometimes feel yuck seeing a naturopath or doing a hair test can be a good place to start.

Balancing our nervous system

Dysautonomia is a condition characterized by imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function. It may adversely affect organ/gland function (heart, bladder, pupils, blood vessels, sweat glands, and intestines) and cause mental and physical discomfort. A preclinical model of dysautonomia found that inhaling geranium essential oil balanced sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function (enhancing parasympathetic activity, which is associated with recovery and recharging from stress).
