🌼 The role alcohol plays in My Homeobotanical remedies 🌼

🌼 My remedies are Homeobotanical remedies which are made slightly differently to your standard Tintures.

Hoemobotanical remedies are diluted down with Herb water. This allows them to become alot more gentle, the POWER part comes in with the suction process, just like in Homeopathy.

Anyone standard 25ml remedie has 5ml of herbs then topped up with Herb water which is made from a mix of 1/3 (the 1 part being alcohol and other 2 being distilled water).

The dosage size is also easily adjusted to the age of the paitent.
So for a baby you would be looking at 1 drop per dose, so the alcohol content you are looking at is very minimal.

Where as Herbal Tintures a dose is generally 20-40 drops, that is significantly more.
Homeobotanical remedies never excess 10 drops per dose (adults or over 10 years of age are only ever prescribed 10 drops)

🌼 When we take a dose we do so in our mouth under our tounge allowing them to soak straight into our bloodstream. Our mouths contain lots of tiny capillaries which helps absorb the remedie pretty much immediately, becoming very fast acting.

🌼 The alcohol is used as a preservative and also helps extract compounds and active ingredients that aren’t water-soluble, out of the herbs.

🌼 The positives out way the negatives in this instance.

🌼 However always do what you feel comfortable with.

Just use them like you would ice cubes.

All our bodies know is how to heal itself ✨️

Our bodies are constantly working with and for us, always trying correct things that are wrong within them.

Sometimes our vital force can become weakened due to Stress, Trauma, Viruses, Toxins, Deficiencies, which is generally when acute and chronic illnesses can slip in.

We can awaken/ strengthen our vital force again through Homeopathy. Encouraging our body to gently, but POWERFULLY re correct itself.

Our finger nails speak to us.
Yep they really do.
They can tell us important things that are going on in our bodies.

But alot of people are missing out on this information when they constantly get their nails done.

Nails look really lovely all dolled up and all, but it doesn't allow you to see the signs your body may be giving you.

Ridges
White spots
Moons
Pits
Flakes
Spoons
Club

Are some of the symptoms you might not see and they can be indications to mineral deficiencies within your body.

I made this cute Woodland themed cake for one of my oldest friends baby boys 1st birthday last weekend 💙

Organic Plantbased Chocolate Cake.

Kids cakes can be fun, super cute and tasty without all the nasty ingredients and tones of colouring.

Low sugar and colouring = hype free kiddos 😉

Quality bread is something thats important to me. And provides the most easiest diy Gluten/ Dairy free and Vegan friendly pre mixes.

Most of there Bread mix bases are Buckwheat flour, Tapioca flour, Linseeds & chia seeds, Sea salt, Kelp powder. All ingredients are organic!!
Packed with GOODNESS!

You just at yeast.

10mins for yeast to activate, then 3 hrs to rise and 50mins to bake- so hands off- idea for busy homes.

Plus it's an NZ company located in Hastings ✨️

Have you read the ingredient list of the bread you buy?

It still blows my mind as to how uncommon Homebirths are.
I've had all 4 of my babies at home with no complications and I wouldn't change it for anything.
There seems to be alot of fear around the idea of Homebirths which saddens me.
As they are truly amazing.

Some of the things I love about Homebirths are...

You get to be in your safe space.
You can shower in your own shower after birth.
Snuggle and sleep in your own bed.
There is no uncomfortable drive to the hospital.
No forgetting to pack anything.
All your favorite drinks and foods are right there.
Surrounded by only people you choose to have in your safe space.
Familiar smells.
Cosy soft furnishings.
You are able to go at the pace baby and your body want to without any time pressures.
You can set up a beautiful birth space with all your fav supportive tools, like dim lighting, affirmations, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, hot water bottles etc.

It's known that when your surrounded by things that comfort you and where you feel safe, it leads to less complications and faster birth times.

I highly rate Homebirths and encourage you to look into having one, if it hasn't crossed your mind.

Empower yourself with any uncertainties and TRUST
trust in your baby and body that they know what to do.
Woman having been birthing for forever and birth is not a condition it is a natural life process.

Homemade Muesli Slice

2 C Rolled oats or gluten free wheatbix.
1 C Puffed grain- buckwheat, rice bubbles, quinoa etc
1/4 C ground linseed
1 C Shredded organic coconut
1/2 C Dried fruit of choice- apricot, cranberries, blueberries etc
1/2 C Nuts of choice diced- almond, cashew, brazil, pecan, walnut etc or a mix.
1/2 C Honey
1/2 C Peanut butter or nut butter of choice.
125g Coconut oil solid

In a pot melt together over a low heat, honey Peanut butter, coconut oil, stirring regularly.
Once melted turn heat off and mix in all other ingredients.
Press into a tin 20x20 and pop in fridge to set.
Cut up once set.
Keep in fridge.

Oh and you can also drizzle dark chocolate over it of chop up chunks and mix it through.

The over consumption of flour is very real today. You could be easily eating it for every meal of the day and not really realizing it.

If you have no issue with gluten you don't want to completely remove it from your diet, but you do definitely want to keep it minimal all the same.

If you suffer from digestive issues- gas, bloat, constipation even sluggish liver this could be a big contribution to the cause.

Thinking of what to eat, can get a bit tiresome at times. I try to keep it simple and easy.
Here are some snack ideas that we like having and have pretty minimal prep involved 😆

Who else is excited for salad season???

I sure am!! 🙋‍♀️

I just love salads, the kids not so much. Deconstructed salads tend to work better for them, but then I always add a little bit of the finished mixed salad to their plates to, so they can try it mixed all together as well and just encourage at least 1 bite of it.

Consistency is key and exposure to consistent healthy food choices, will all pay off subconsciously in the long run ✨️

If we stop and observe our body, we can use symptoms it may show you as clues or indications that something is out of balance and needs addressing.
These are some clues that can indicate your Gut Microbiome, needs to be looked at.

Jot down any symptoms that you maybe experiencing currently, then reach out to book an appointment.

A healthy body shouldn't have any 😇

Plantbased Mylks are a great alternative to Dairy Milk, as Dairy Milk itself comes with alot of negative health effects....
But alot of Plantbased Mylks contain vegetable oils 😬
Vegetable oils are highly processed and cause alot of inflammation within the body.

There are a few brands that dont contain seed oils, just make sure you have a read of the ingredients list first.

Making your own Mylks at home is another great option, then you'll definitely be safe and miss out on added gums etc too.

The Mylk Made brand of raw nut concentrates are another great option too and sustainably packaged.

You don't just one day wake up with some awful bodily ailment.

It's been hiding away, brewing quitely, until 💥 bang your body says I have had ENOUGH!

It's time for change!

You are then faced with to options....

1- To find out the route cause of your symptoms and heal thy self from the root cause.

2- To mask the symptoms with medication (which I do not advice)

No matter how hard you try to help some you care for, nothing you do will truly help them until that person comes to that place within themself, of TRULY wanting to change and get better.

Sometimes it can be beyond frustrating and hard to watch.

But just keep being that positive supportive influence for them until their time comes ✨️

Then point them in the right direction of someone that can help them 🤍

A Consultation appointment is perfect for discussing a pacific health concern.

Should you require a Homeobotanical remedy they would be an additional $18 each and a Kathology treatment is an additional $30.

Here we are able to discuss what treatment is best to fix the root cause of your health concern and where to go from here 🌈

Luckily there are amazing companies out there, that are aware of the harmful effects chemicals have on our bodies and also the planet.

Where there is a negative, there is always positive ✨️

This allows us to take control of how many toxins our bodies are exsposed to, with some simple lifestyle changes and mindfulness we can dramatically lower our exposure.

Things we can do....

Rembered before going out and swapping everything over to Eco friendly products, the products you do have still have to go somewhere (landfull) so maybe as you need to replenish things make the switch (just an idea 😊)

💚 Cotton Knitted reusable dish cloths
💚 Eco dish tablets
💚 Hot water for dishes
💚 Vinegar for cleaning with essential oils
💚 Shampoo and Conditioner Bars
💚 Bamboo tooth brushes
💚 Ceramic reusable coffee caps
💚 Glass food storage containers
💚 Wooden cooking utensils
💚 Cotton or bamboo underwear
💚 Natural clothing materials
💚 Wool carpet
💚 Diy garden products
💚 Ocean friendly car was products
💚 Natural makeup products- Organic even better
💚 Natural bedding materials
💚 Natural tooth pastes
💚 Metal, Glass, Ceramic water bottles

And plenty more you can do to lower for exposure 🤗🌱 your body and the environment will thank you for it 💚

Our Bodies are exsposed to over thousand and thousands of different toxic chemicals daily 😱

They are in our Clothing/ Underwear, Deodorant, Perfumes, Shampoo/ Conditioner, Body wash, House/ Car/ Garden cleaning products, the Air, Rain, Water, Cooking Utnesiles, Bake ware, Food storage containers, Food packaging, Our homes, Carpet/ Couches/ Curtains/ Cushions/ Throws/ Mats, Bedding Mattress/ Sheets/ Duvets/ Pillows/ Towels and so on, you get the picture I'm sure.

It's mind blowing and heart breaking 💔 😢 really.

Low toxic living and conscious living is Essential for living a full HEALTHY life.

If we aren't mindful of all these chemicals and dont choose better options that are Organic and Eco Friendly then we are setting our bodies up for disaster....

They can accumulate in our bodies and our bodies can become toxic OVERLOADED. Which leads to health issues like....

Asthma
Skin disorders
Cancers
Hormonal issues
Fertility conditions
Liver diseases
Mental conditions
To name a few

Please be mindful in your choices guys ✌️
