HERBAL MEDICINE - Imagine a Healthier Life
- While herbal remedies are not intended to replace modern medical techniques, they do offer a genuine means of maintaining health and combating many common conditions.
- I use a large range of organic herbal medicines, medicinal tonics, high quality vitamin and mineral supplementation as well as creams individually made for many skin conditions.
- A treatment plan can be sent to your doctor or specialist if requested.
- Herbal Medicine can be used with infants, children and adults. We are happy to work with you to obtain the results you want.
- During a consultation we look at the role you can play in your own healing process, by helping you understand the importance of exercise and dietary changes and by discussing how lifestyle factors influence your health and well-being. One of the benefits of herbal medicine is its ability to cleanse and restore the vital energy of the body.
The most remarkable thing about healing
is that everyone can do it
NATURAL FERTILITY – Healthy Conception, Pregnancy, Birth and Baby
Having more control over any fertility issues involves becoming more educated about the
various dietary and lifestyle factors that affect your health.
Herbal medicines and specific nutritional supplements can improve fertility outcomes.
Pre-Conception Care and IVF – A survey by Foresight, the Association for Pre-conceptual care in the UK demonstrated an astounding success rate of 81% of conceptions among couples previously diagnosed as infertile. A second survey between 1997 and 1999 also showed that combining preconception health care with IVF doubled the IVF success rate from 22.6% to 47.1%.
A healthy, highly nutritious, whole food diet is essential to provide your body with the building blocks needed to produce healthy eggs and sperm in order to create a healthy baby.
Factors affecting Fertility – Studies now indicate that one couple in six are having difficulty conceiving.
- Stress also affects many of the hormonal systems required for healthy eggs and sperm, ovulation, conception and foetal growth. Stress alters oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone production, it imbalances blood sugar balance which in turn adversely affects your sex hormones. Stress can also alter thyroid function which may affect a women’s ability to conceive and maintain a pregnancy.
- Immune function The consequences of poor immune function may be even more far reaching as it can impair detoxification, digestive function and circulation, which may also alter your fertility state.
Optimising Fertility Status in Men – Men often get overlooked in the preconception stages. Recent research indicates that the father’s sperm is more likely to affect conception and the baby’s health. The quality of the sperm is more important than the quantity. The most important nutrients men need for healthy sperm include zinc, protein, antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
Optimising Fertility Status in Women – Even though pain and mood swings are considered “normal” in some women they are not healthy. Many symptoms of PMT are due to inadequate level of progesterone, blood sugar irregularities, inflammation and poor thyroid function, poor nutrient intake and toxins. The most important nutrients women need for a healthy menstrual cycle include vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
My Fertility Program includes the following;
- A holistic approach to reproductive health.
- Preconception care maximizes the potential for a healthy conception, pregnancy, birth and baby.
- Herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals for fertility problems—both male and female.
- Support for those undergoing IVF treatments
- Herbal treatment for Metabolic Syndrome
- Herbal treatment for PMS, Endometriosis, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, Recurrent Miscarriage
- Herbal treatment for Low libido, Sperm Count – volume, motility, morphology
- Herbal treatment when no medical reason can be found to explain the inability to conceive
A common misconception is that age determines your fertility.
Recent studies indicate that it is not age, but the health
of your eggs and sperm that really matters.
HORMONE BALANCE – A Happy Balance from Puberty to Menopause
PUBERTY - usually starts between ages 8 and 13 in girls and ages 10 and 15 in boys. As your child begins to go through puberty they will grow taller, stronger, heavier, hairier, smellier, moodier and they may get pimples! Herbal medicines can assist in the hormonal transition from child to young adult.
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG - Herbal medecines are very effective in the treatment of conditions such as menstrual pain, heavy bleeding, breast tenderness, prementstrual tension, mood swings, anxiety, endometriosis, poly cystic ovary syndrome. As well as irregular cycles or hormonal skin conditions.
MENOPAUSE - while moving into menopause is a natural transition, it is not necessarily an easy one. Herbal medicines can help with this process, and are especially effective in the treatment of hot flushes and night sweats, anxiety and loss of memory, concentration and focus, heavy bleeding or flooding as well as tearyness and fatigue.
STRESS, ANXIETY & INSOMNIA – Imagine a Relaxed Mind and Body
We all experience stress from time to time. When stress gets to be too much, it can take a toll on our Health and Wellbeing. Herbal medicines are a wonderful way of helping the body and mind adapt to stress.
Constant worry, fear or stress, eventually leads to exhaustion of the adrenal response. In this phase the body's defences become depleted. Illness and the development of disease are probable when the effects of chronic stress influence the body's ability for adaptation.
Longterm stress can also affect the digestive system, leading to pain, bloating, nausea and in some cases this may lead to food sensitivites or intolerances, reflux and indigestion, or a condition of dysbiosis called 'leaky gut'.
Herbs such as Passionflower, Zizphus, St Johns Wort and Lemon Balm are just a few of the herbs that help to calm the body and mind, reducing anxiety, promoting better sleep patterns and more relaxed moods.
IRIDOLOGY – What do your Eye’s Say?
- The eyes reflect moods, character and physical well-being.
- The eyes can reveal health levels as well as biochemical and nutritional needs.
- Iridology cannot reveal a person’s life span or impending death.
- It does not diagnose diseases, such as cancer.
Iridology offers a method and practice of preventive medicine that is simple, painless and non-invasive, allowing the assessment of the bodies inherent strengths and weaknesses, by indications that show in iris colour and structure as it relates to the body. Iris markings represent a detailed picture of the integrity of the body. An Iridologist does not diagnose disease, but analyses tissue conditions from signs in the iris.
The eyes have been called the windows of the soul,
and a mirror to the body.
FLOWER ESSENCES – Help Support Emotional Healing- Flowers Essences help alleviate the emotional effects caused by stress, grief or illness
- They can help us feel more relaxed, or more confident.
- They work by releasing emotional blocks.
- They can also calm an overactive mind, and encourage positive self-expression.
- Suitable for children, adults and even pets.
Take care of your body.
It’s the only place you have to live.
FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING – A quick and affective way to be free of food Intolerances and Sensitivities
Digestive symptoms may indicate a condition called 'leaky gut syndrome', also known as intestinal permeability. The digestive system is the most important system in the body, if its not functioning well, then the rest of the body will struggle to work well. Another important fact is that 70% of your immune system is located in the gut.
If you suffer from any of the conditions listed below - then you may have 'leaky gut'
- Irritable bowel
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Skin rashes
- Gut pain
- Reflux or heart burn
- Burping or bloating
- Sensitive skin
Forget the guess work. This test is for you.
You will be tested for 93 different foods, colours, and preservatives.
TESTIMONIALS – What Others Have to Say
"We really appreciate the support & compassion that you have shown us during our herbal experience. Although so far we have not been successful in conceiving we still feel that we have gained so much. We are eating, sleeping & living better than ever."
Phill and Kim
"I had been suffering from recurrent colds and flu. I felt rundown, tired and hadn’t been sleeping well for a long time. I have been taking the herbal tonic Sharon made for me over the last few months, and I can’t believe how fantastic I feel."
Andrew
"After trying IVF for 3 years without success we decided to give up our dream of having a child. I had irregular cycles due to endometrioses and PCOS, and my husband had a low sperm count. We started seeing Sharon to focus on our health and general wellbeing. Within 4 months my cycle was regular, we were eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and our energy levels had improved. Within 6 months, much to our surprise we were pregnant! Sharon we can’t thank you enough."
Jill and Brian
"I have been a chronic sinus sufferer for most of my life. I grew up on a diet of Antihistamines just so that I could breathe …. I was consuming almost a full box of Demazin a week …. I can't tell you the last time I had sinus, thank you Sharon…"
Debbie
"Prior to visiting Sharon, I had suffered 2 miscarriages and was physically and mentally exhausted. When my GP asked me what I was doing wrong, I knew I needed to seek alternative help .... My energy levels are now at a high, which assisted during childbirth and those first tiring weeks after. If I can give anyone who has been in a similar situation to myself any advice, it would be to give herbs a try."
