Oak Homeopathy

The very similar plant Thuja occidentalis is one of the remedies we use a lot in homeopathy and one of my favourite things it helps with are warts.

If you look at some of the more three-dimensional warts and then look at these cones you can see the similarities. That’s nature pointing us to the potential sphere of action of this plant.

One of the laws governing homeopathy is that disease moves from within to without - and warts, on the surface of the skin are the body’s way of packaging up things it doesn’t need and sending them to the exterior of the body.

I’ve seen some wonderful transformations with this remedy - the most striking was a gentleman who was covered in freckles, moles and warts.

After taking this remedy he told me he’d had a bath and thought it odd how dirty the bottom of the bath was after he let out the water. On closer inspection it was his warts! Looking at his arms he realised they had indeed dropped off, and continued to do so for a couple of weeks until all the itching he’d come to me with stopped.

It is important to use this remedy carefully and not to send the warts inward so please contact a homeopath (like me! - or lots to choose from on Findahomeopath.org) if you would like some help with this.

Morven is an incredibly kind and careful practitioner. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Time to reintroduce myself and welcome my new followers! I’m Morven and have been a Bowen therapist since training in 2021-2022.

I have clinics in both Crieff (opened in October 2022) and Oban (opened in August 2023). If you are new to Bowen Therapy, this gentle, hands-on technique can help relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote healing. It is perfect for anyone dealing with back pain, migraines, tension, PTSD, or a wide range of other conditions. I came to Bowen myself through fertility struggles, and had such a positive experience I wanted to become a practitioner myself.

I am always learning new skills – most recently completing a course in correcting postural conditions, and I’m relishing putting those knew skills into practice with my clients.

I’d love to know what your own experiences with Bowen have been and how it has helped in your own lives.

It is harder than ever to get free homeopathy appointments through the NHS but the students colleges are a great way to get treatment. I’m eternally grateful - and remember every one of the people who came to the Irish School of Homeopathy.

***Update*** Our June and July clinics are now fully booked and we are no longer accepting new enquiries due to high demand.

Free homeopathic consultations are available with the Faculty of Homeopathy Student Training Clinic.

The consultation will be online with a trainee homeopath (who is also a qualified healthcare professional) supervised by a highly experienced medical homeopath.

Our next available appointments are on Wednesday 10 June 2026 and Wednesday 8 July 2026 at 9am, 10.30am and 12pm.

If you decide to take part in the Faculty’s Student Training Clinic you will receive homeopathic treatment and at the same time do your part to help the Faculty with training the homeopaths of the future. Please note patients of the Faculty Student Training Clinic must be aged 18 years or over.

Please contact Lisa Peacock, Academic Officer, at [email protected] for further information if you are interested in booking an appointment.

The fermented food revolution is one of the most genuinely exciting developments in gut health science in a generation. The products being sold in its name are, in many cases, its precise opposite.

I often recommend this tissue salt - here is a detailed explanation of its action.

CALC FLUOR & Elasticity (Calcium fluoride)
One of the earliest and clearest actions of Calc fluor is its role in elastic tissue.

Not hardness. Not density.
Elastic return.

Schuessler describes Calc fluor as present wherever tissue must stretch and then come back — ligaments, blood vessels, skin, connective tissue, enamel surfaces. The problem it addresses is not weakness, but loss of recoil.

Biologically, elastic fibres (elastin, collagen frameworks) rely on calcium–fluoride complexes to maintain their structural memory. When Calc fluor is sufficient, fibres lengthen under pressure and then resume their original form. When it is deficient, tissues may still stretch — but they don’t fully contract again.

This is why early Calc fluor signs often look contradictory:
▪ dilation without tone
▪ lax tissue alongside hard nodules
▪ sagging paired with thickening

The mechanism matters.
When elastic fibres lose their organising mineral, circulation slows locally. Fluids are not reabsorbed efficiently. The lymphatic system struggles to clear exudates. Over time, this stagnation leads to hardening, thickening, or nodular deposits — not because tissue is “overgrowing,” but because it cannot resolve and remodel itself properly.

This is why Schuessler grouped things like:
▪ varicose veins
▪ relaxed vessel walls
▪ hardened glands
▪ cystic or nodular swellings

under the same mineral logic.

Practical, at-home applications
Noting: Calc fluor is not a quick-fix mineral. It works slowly because it is restoring architecture, not stimulating function.

A very practical use today:
▪ chronic areas that feel both lax and thick
▪ long-standing vein issues
▪ tissues that have “given way” structurally (post-pregnancy, long strain, ageing connective tissue)

This is also why Calc fluor is traditionally taken in the evening — tissue repair and connective remodelling are slower, restorative processes, often undertaken by the body overnight.

If someone expects immediate tightening, they’ll miss the point.
Calc fluor doesn’t force contraction.
It restores the ability for tissues to remember how to hold themselves.

A wonderful mineral with broad impacts 💜Be patient and steady with dosing, and in a month or twos time, you will see wonderful results!

We’ve been experiencing a high number of calls and enquiries regarding flu that seems to be lingering.
Here are some top remedy suggestions for you:

Rhus tox 30c – aches, pains and stiffness with restlessness. Can’t get comfortable. Fever, sweaty in bed, chilly when uncovered, very thirsty for cold drinks.
Bryonia 30c – headache and pains worse from any movement. Must lie still. Dry cough, dry mouth and nose, intense thirst for large quantities of cold drinks.
Eupatorium perfoliatum 30c – severe muscle and bone aches, back pain, headache, sore eyeballs, aversion to light. Thirsty for cold drinks.
China 30c – for weakness and exhaustion after illness. Can alternate with Phosphoric acid 30c for recovery and raising energy levels.
