Her body was exhausted and run down and this is what we needed to work on first so that she was able to exercise properly to lose the weight.

Some of the more severe symptoms as described by Chelsea were weekly headaches, waking up perspiring heavily every night, insomnia with restless legs, even though she was taking a magnesium supplement, no libido with pain during sex, along with very dry hair and skin.

If you skip to the bottom of this case study you can see the severity of Chelsea’s symptoms at the current time, in comparison to her initial ratings.

Below are a list of Chelsea’s symptoms and how severe she rated them out of 10 when she first attended the clinic.

2/12/22
Hard to lose weight
Cholesterol changes lots
Dry skin all over 6-7/10 with moisturizing
Heaviness in belly 8/10

After assessing Chelsea’s face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Caust 30c as a homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a months time.
 
Results
At the one month follow-up Chelsea had some decent improvement with the heaviness in her belly, and a little improvement with the pain during sex, however her sleep had become worse and her headaches had gradually been getting worse, to the point of nearly becoming a migraine. She told me she stopped the remedy on her own at around 3.5 weeks, and the headaches subsided. Then she re-commenced taking the remedy and the headache started returning so she stopped again.

This is exactly what I would have advised Chelsea to do in her case had she asked me, and we now knew this was not the correct remedy for Chelsea. This is why we begin with a small dose in case my remedy selection is incorrect, when stopping the remedy any negative symptoms are quick to resolve.

After considering Chelsea’s case again I now advised her to try Mag-m 30c.

Results after another month
Chelsea found this remedy to be better, with some good improvements in some areas. Below are Chelsea’s ratings

Lost half a kg (was Hard to lose weight still)
Dry skin 5/10 (was 6-7/10 with moisturizing)
Heaviness in belly 1-2/10 (was 8/10)

Cystic pimples 1/10 (was 5/10 with period)

Because Chelsea was doing well on this remedy I suggested we increase the same remedy to 2x per day, and to follow up with me in another month.
 
Results Next Month
Next month when I saw Chelsea for her follow-up she said she had been feeling pretty emotional / sad / angry in the  last month which was out of character for her. Her teenage stepson had been really getting on her nerves, but it was affecting her more than usual. Her doctor had sent her for a scan which showed her endometriosis had come back and she felt very disappointed about his also.

Some of Chelsea’s symptoms had improved further, but others had slipped back, plus being extra emotional with this double dose meant that this remedy had done all it could for her, but it was time to move to a new remedy.

The next remedy that was indicated for Chelsea, as guided by the computer software and her facial analysis was mag-c 30c. I told Chelsea to take this remedy one time a day.

Results Next Month
Even though I told Chelsea to take this remedy one time a day, and wrote this on the instructions on the bottle, she misunderstood or was confused and took it 2x per day she told me at the next follow-up. However her results had been remarkable and she was improving well in all areas. With such good results I told Chelsea to continue with 2x per day for the following month.

Results Next Month
At the next month Chelsea was very pleased with her progress, she said she was feeling great, while sounding confident and happy. She said her immune system must have been working better too because everybody in her household had gotten sick except her. She had been getting a few hot flushes though which were pretty annoying.

Chelsea had her own homeopathic first aid kit at home and had heard that Puls was a good remedy for hot flushes. She tried taking the Puls 30c and it greatly relieved her flushes.
Below are Chelseas symptoms as she rated them at our most recent consult.

28/4/23
 
Dry skin GONE (was 6-7/10 with moisturizing)
 
Heaviness in belly TOTALLY GONE - doesn't even notice anything when should get period (was 8/10)

Waking unrefreshed 1/10 and rare (WAS 8/10)

NEW 28/4/23 - Hot flushes 4-5x during the day, not sure about when sleeping. 8/10 Lasting for 7 minutes. (Did have before probably 2-3x per day lasting 3 minutes). Chelsea found Puls 30 from her home kit helped relieve hot flushes when they were really bad.
 
NEW 31/3/23 - In the last month been feeling pretty emotional. - 3/10 (was 10/10.)
 
Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Chelsea’s body to be able to heal it’s self.  Unfortunately she hasn’t lost any weight as of yet, but she said she feels stronger and more able to exercise, she had just started riding her bike again. In coming months we expect she should improve further, become stronger still and be able to exercise more rigorously to help lose the weight.

I aim to add to this case study in the future, but this is a good case to show the progress of Chelsea’s general health in a few months with a range of symptoms with natural remedies.
The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

Bianca had been to her GP who had given her anti-depressants (Lexapro 20mg per day) and was seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed dexamphetamine. Bianca mentioned that she felt like the Lexapro wasn’t working, and after taking the amphetamines Bianca had ended up in hospital with seizures, thereafter she had stopped taking it. Her mother had had great results with homeopathy and suggested she try.

Although it took some time for her body to heal, Bianca now feels good and most of her symptoms are gone or very minor. For a full list of Bianca’s symptoms and their severity as she rated them at the last treatment compared with the first treatment, you can scroll down to the bold list near the end of this blog post.

After assessing Bianca’s face, and taking her symptoms into account, I selected Carb-v 30C as the homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and told Bianca to follow up with me in a month’s time.


... 5 months later
Bianca said she did have some improvement with the remedy that ran out after one month, but had not returned to the clinic. When she returned 5 months later, her symptoms were similar to when she first arrived 5 months earlier. Details of her symptoms along with previous ratings are listed below.

Bianca also mentioned that after discussing with her doctor that the Lexapro had not been working, the doctor suggested that she cut her dose in half (now 10mg per day).
Since Bianca has mentioned that she had some improvement with the Carb-v 30C, we repeated the same remedy 1x per day as done previously and I told Bianca to follow up with me in a month’s time.

At the next follow-up Bianca had slipped back slightly with her anxiety but her stomach and digestion had improved, along with her headaches. Bianca had been also coming in for Bowen Therapy treatments to help with the headaches and neck pain. Below are the details of how serious she rated her ailments now.

At the next follow-up Bianca’s anxiety had been much better, although it had been increasing more- so over the last week. Bianca told me that they had just bought a house and that they would be moving soon, which is typically a stressful time in anybody’s life.
 
Below is how Bianca rated her ailments at this follow-up

20/1/23 -
Anxiety - 8/10 today, 4 days of 6/10, rest of the time 2/10 average 5/10
Panic Attack - 3 x 10/10
Wake up in sweat Still NONE
Vision sensitive to light - Still NONE
Earache feels like is coming then goes away Still NONE
Some sort of sore in mouth –
Cough after big meals, chesty cough every day after lunch and dinner. SAME
Constipation 2x this month
Gassy - 4/10
Nausea - 10/10 Last 2 weeks
Stomach pain - 75% less frequent 2/10
Haemorrhoids come when constipated - Still 0/10
Headaches/heavy head - 5 days in last 2 weeks 6/10

Since the remedy had been working well up until now, I felt the added stress of buying a house and moving was contributing to Bianca slipping back a bit, So we increased the strength of the medicine to Carb-v 200C twice a day.

Bianca came for a Bowen Therapy treatment 2 weeks later and she told me that she had been super anxious with the move and had hardly eaten anything for 6 days. Obviously the homeopathic drops and doctor prescribed medicine weren’t giving her relief now, so I gave Bianca a new remedy to try – Bry 30c 1x per day and told her to follow up with me in 2 weeks.

Although Bianca was experiencing some full blown anxiety symptoms, and her body was showing some signs of the physical symptoms of anxiety with the extra stress she was experiencing, she was still in a much better place physically than when we first started treatment.  This was a good sign that her body had been healing.


2 Weeks later
At this followup, there had been a big improvement. Bianca’s house move was over and with her reduced stress levels along with the new remedy, she was recovering very quickly.

17/2/23 – Bianca’s ratings for the full month
Anxiety - 3/10 in last week, 2 weeks ago was 10, was moving house
Panic Attack - 2x per week 3-4/10 much less intense
Wake up in sweat Just had when very stressed with the house

Earache feels like is coming then goes away Still NONE
Some sort of sore in mouth - Not really
Cough after big meals, chesty cough every day after lunch and dinner. SAME.
Constipation - Got this month with stress
Gassy - 4/10 SAME
Nausea - 2-3/10
Stomach pain - GOOD NOW
Haemorrhoids come when constipated - Still 0/10
Headaches/heavy head - GOOD sometimes feel like getting headache but goes away


It seemed that the Carbo-v remedy had done all it could and changing to this new Bry remedy had facilitated further healing. Because it was only 2 weeks since Bianca had started this new remedy, I told her to continue with the Bry 30C 1x per day


1 month later....
Things were really looking up for Bianca now,  she had really come a long way with this new remedy.
Below are the details of how Bianca rated her symptoms now.

17/3/23 -

Bianca mentioned that the remedy was working really well in the mornings when she took it, but by the afternoon it had worn off and that was when the anxiety started creeping back. We increased the Bry 30C to 2x per day.


1 month later…
Bianca was feeling really good now, most of her symptoms had disappeared or were very minor.

Below are the severity of Bianca’s symptoms as she rated them along with what she rated things at our first consult.
 
14/4/23 -
 
Anxiety - 1-2 Good (was 6-7/10 recently every day)
Panic Attack - STILL NONE (was 1x every 2-3 weeks lately 10/10)
Wake up in sweat - mild sweat but probably other factors  (was 3 or 4 nights in a row then ok for 3 weeks)
Vision sensitive to light - GONE  (was Always 5/10)
Earache feels like is coming then goes away – still has this the same (was 1-2x a month)
Some sort of sore in mouth - 2/10 (was 3/10 at moment, can get to 5/10)
Cough after big meals – no change (Was chesty cough every day after lunch and dinner. )
Constipation – No change  (was Every 2-3 weeks get constipated 2 days, take meds, 2 days later, 3-4 days total pass stool)
Gassy – 4/10 (was 8/10 Every day)
Nausea – Generally really good (WAS 6/10 every 2nd day in afternoon or dinner time, won't want to eat big dinner)
Stomach pain - Gone  (was before use bowels 50% of time up to 7-8/10)
Hemorrhoids come when constipated - Gone (was Often 2/10 can be 8/10)
Headaches/heavy head - Gone (was Every day. Wake up with headache but worse by the end of the day. 6/10, but 6-8/10 generally every evening. No days without a headache for months)
 

The remaining constipation was the last thing for us to try to correct. Since this remedy was working well, I told Bianca to increase the frequency of her doses of Bry 30c when she was constipated to see if this helped. We will see how this works at her next appointment. Since Bianca’s body was working well on this dose of homeopathic medicine, I gave her 2 months supply of the medicine and just told her to contact me if she starts slipping back before a 2 month follow-up.


Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Bianca’s body to calm her anxiety and panic attacks, greatly reduce stomach pain, nausea, gas and haemorrhoids. Her headaches/neck pain was gone along with her sensitivity to light.  


The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

We had a pediatrition assigned from the hospital who was lovely, but all she could do was prescribe the strongest steroid cream (which we were already using) and just said we are not using enough steroid, we needed to use more. A skin specialist said the same, we needed to apply more steroids, and even gave us a prescription that the pharmacist even questioned us about and said 'Do you know this is known to cause skin cancer?' Luckily we didn't use that particular cream and didn't give up trying to find a solution. We started seeing a famous homeopath in Melbourne and my little girl started to heal. The amount of steroids she was using would have caused a normal person without eczema to get Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) symptoms, similar to eczema symptoms if they suddenly stopped, and so over time we managed to ween her off of the steroid creams.

6 months after we tried homeopathy this is what she looked like.. It was a bit slow to begin with, and we had to try a couple of different medicines, but there was progress. After 6 months of treatment with the homeopath we were at the point where her skin was clear, and she had totally weened off of the steroids and bleach baths. We still had to be careful about what she ate but her skin was clear! Over time she just got better and better - and can even eat anything she likes, her allergies have gone, even chocolate (one of her triggers).... and like her treating homeopath said, 'a life without chocolate is not worth living!'

..... So after having ran a busy Bowen Therapy clinic since 2015, I decided I needed to learn homeopathy to be able to help other people with problems like my daughter, so other families can have a happy ending too! :)

Since 2021 I have had some wonderful success stories using homeopathy. You can read some case studies by clicking 'Homeopathy' under 'Categories' on the right hand side of this post

Daniel had also been getting a rash at various places on his face and on the inside of his elbows, but he had some medicated cream from the doctor that resolved the rash quiet effectively, however it would always reoccur again 3-4 weeks later, and he had found that heat aggravated it.

After assessing Daniel’s face, and taking his symptoms into account, I selected Sulph 30C as the homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and told Daniel to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 1 month follow-up
At the one month mark Daniel had some improvement with his sleep. He had been able to get back to sleep after waking during the night, however it would still take 20-60 minutes. His skin had been clear for the month but a rash had just started appearing again that day. Also Daniel had some slight improvement in his nervousness while talking in work meetings, maybe a 10-15% improvement.

I told Daniel to now take the homeopathic medicine 2x per day for the next month.

Results at 2 month follow-up
At the two month follow up Daniel mentioned that he did have improvements during the first two weeks after increasing to 2x per day, however after the two weeks any improvements vanished and the trouble sleeping returned. Even though, Daniel said that he did feel more tired and relaxed when trying to get back to sleep.

After reviewing the results so far along with suitable remedies for Daniel’s case I supplied him with a new remedy, this time Bryonia 30C to take one time per day and follow up with me again in another month.

Results at later follow-ups
Daniel felt like this remedy was helping more than the last yet the symptoms remained. We increased the frequency to two times a day, and later increased the strength of the medicine to 200C.

The first night we increased the medicine to two times a day at 200C strength, Daniel started sleeping through the night really well, and his sleep remained good. His skin had been clear, with one small section two weeks ago, that recovered much faster than previously. Daniel felt calmer in stressful situations, and apart from the diarrhoea and he felt like everything was going well. At our last follow-up Daniel had stopped the medicine for the last week because he had run out, yet everything had still been going really well. I suggested that Daniel continue with the medicine for another month and then reduce to 1x per day for a week, and then every 2nd day for the following week before stopping.

I later caught up with Daniel during a Bowen Therapy session over 6 months since his last homeopathy appointment and he mentioned he was still sleeping well, he had no more rashes during this period and had not needed to use the medicated cream any more. His diarrhoea remained but he felt it was due to a supplement he had been taking for many years. He had stopped a few days prior to our conversation and felt there had been some improvement.

Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Daniel’s body to be able to sleep better, feel more calm and confident while talking during work meetings, and improve his internal health to prevent skin rashes from occurring. Once his body stabilized he stopped taking the medicine and he still felt good.

The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

Even so, after a lifetime of trying western medications and treatment methods the level of anxiety and depression she experienced was still rather intense. Lisa rated her Anxiety levels typically at a 6/10 every day, and depression also at a 6//10 daily that was at it’s worst in the mornings. Lisa mentioned that as she had grown older she had learned not to fight against her feelings of depression and anxiety so much and that had made things a little easier. Lisa felt that her mental health problems were caused by an unhappy family life with physical and emotional abuse when she was a child and also being in an abusive relationship as an adult.

As is common with mental health disorders, Lisa’s sleep quality was very poor, it took her 3 hours to get to sleep on average, and then she would always have a very light sleep with frequent waking because of needing to keep going to the toilet all through the night. The doctors had put this down to a prolapsed uterus.

Some of the other complains Lisa presented with were hard fibrous lumps or cysts growing on her back all the time (non-cancerous) and quiet severe perspiration where her clothes would become very wet, especially under her armpits. Lisa had been getting botox injections which had helped reduce her level of sweating, but it was still a problem. Lisa had diverticulitis which she controlled through diet, however she would still get a flare-up on average 1x every 2 months.

Lisa also had arthritis in her foot which was caused during her younger years when she did a lot of running and marathon competition. Bowen helped but as is very common with osteoarthritis, the pain always returned again at some stage.
After assessing Lisa’s face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Sulph 30 as the homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 1 month follow-up
At the one month followup Lisa had some decent progress. I have listed the progress of the various ailments at the one month mark.

Anxiety had improved 25%
Depression had improved 50%
Delayed sleep - 80% improvement
Frequently waking to go to the toilet – 80% improvement
Cysts on her back – no new cysts
Severe perspiration – 50% improvement
Diverticulitis – Haven’t noticed it

Overall this was very promising so I told Lisa to continue with the same remedy however to increase the dosage to 2x per day and to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 2 month follow-up
At the next follow-up appointment the progress we had made after the first month held steady, but Lisa’s anxiety had improved another 25% as well as small improvements with her perspiration and arthritis, however her sleep had slipped backwards. Below you can see how Lisa rated these problems.

Anxiety had improved 50% (extra 25%)
Depression had improved 50% (same as last month)
Delayed sleep - 70% improvement (10% worse than last month)
Frequently waking to go to the toilet – back to waking 4-5x per night, however was falling asleep again quiet quickly
Cysts on her back – no new cysts
Severe perspiration – 60% improvement (extra 10% improved)
Arthritis – 20% improvement (same as last month but had been able to walk further)
Diverticulitis – Haven’t noticed it

For the next month I decided to increase the strength of the medicine, and gave Lisa Sulphur again but at 200c strength to be taken 1x per day to see if we could get a bit more improvement.

Results at 3 month follow-up

Next month Lisa said that she had been feeling quiet irritable lately. She said she had been feeling the cold a bit more this winter, and that she had been bruising quiet easily. She was still waking frequently to go to the toilet at night too. In general Lisa said she still felt improved, and she was able to give a speech at her recent 70th birthday party, where previously her level of anxiety would have made that impossible.

I explained to Lisa that sometimes during the healing process there can be ups and downs, but we were still much further ahead than when we first began. It seemed that Lisa’s body liked the weaker remedy given just 1x per day, so we reverted back to the original remedy from the 1st month and I told Lisa to report back in another month.

Results at 4 month follow-up

At her next appointment Lisa seemed very happy with how her body had been responding to the homeopathy. It seemed her body liked the lower dose of the remedy better and the feelings of being irritable, feeling cold, and bruising easily had gone again. Lisa’s sleep had returned to being much improved without the frequent waking. Below is how Lisa rated her symptoms:

Anxiety 2/10 (started at 6/10)
Depression 3/10 (started at 6/10)
Delayed sleep – Now sleeps great
Frequently waking to go to the toilet  - Very rarely waking to go to the toilet at night
Cysts on her back – still no new cysts after 4 months
Severe perspiration – 80% better and no botox injections
Arthritis – Still did feel sometimes but was improved, and felt like it was continuing to improve
Diverticulitis – Still haven’t noticed it

Lisa commented on how amazed she was at how good she was sleeping, as well as her perspiring being so much better and having not even had botox injections, which had been costing her hundreds of dollars. There was also significant improvement in her anxiety and depression, and Lisa asked me if I thought she could see her doctor about stopping or reducing her pharmaceutical anti-depressants. I suggested since she had been on them such a long time and things were looking pretty good right now, it would probably be best not to change anything for the moment at least and just enjoy the results as they were.

Sometimes there needs to be some tweaking of remedy strengths or changing to different remedies in the same family to get the most out of homeopathy. Sometimes there can also be some stiring up of symptoms as your body repairs, a bit like when you first start going to the gym there can be some soreness as your body adapts, but ultimately there will be benefit to your health.

I remember at a later date the stress in Lisa’s life increased for a period, and she found that her sleep troubles started returning and her anxiety and depression started getting worse again. I just increased the dose temporarily to help her body deal with the additional stress, which brought her body back into balance again, relieving her symptoms. Later when the stress in her life returned back to normal levels, we again reduced the dose and her body remained in balance with improved symptoms.

Sometimes western medicines alone are not enough to relieve a clients symptoms, however in this case using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Lisa’s body and bring it back into balance, and in turn her mood stabilized to provide significant improvement in her anxiety and depression. The same medicine also made it so that she no longer needed to have expensive and toxic botox injections for her heavy perspiration, along with further relieving her other symptoms also.  The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

Mary had been diagnosed with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) a rare autoimmune disorder where the blood platelets inside the blood are reduced and so the capability of the body to stop bleeding is reduced. She also had a history of migraines and although in recent times she experienced them only 1x every 3 weeks, she rated them as being very severe at a 10/10

Her cognitive function and energy felt depleted, and she rated the significance of this at 7/10. She had chronic insomnia where she woke frequently during the night feeling restless. Mary’s periods were regular although they contained lots of clots/tissue/fibrous bits along with a burning sensation over the past 3 months.

Mary had quiet a few other complaints that I have listed below along with their intensity as a rating out of 10.
CPTSD where she had a feeling of feeling stuck, restricted, trapped, freighted and couldn’t escape.
Dry hair 7/10
Ears became stuffy, on average 3 days per week rated at 6/10
Nose bleeds 6-7 days per week on waking
Voice had random weird pitch changes mid speech, which had been going on for a few years
Hives on her skin which Mary described as being very itchy and dry. She was able to control it temporarily with steroid cream, however as soon as she stopped using the cream the hives would return. This had been going on for 6 months and she believes it started occurring after she went in a float tank.
A history of very bad Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) but Mary was able to control this by sticking to a FOODMAP diet.
 
After assessing Mary’s face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Calc 30 as a homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a months time.

Results at one month follow-up
At the one month followup Mary had some decent improvement. I have listed the progress of the various ailments at the one month mark below.
The Dystonia (spasms) she hadn’t noticed but the botox was still in effect.
Raynaud’s + cramping hands & feet now 2-3/10 started at 6/10 after botox.
Migraine – did have one but much less intense.
Cognitive energy improved so that the problem was rated at 3/10 but at the 1 month followup appointment mark came back to the original 7/10
Ears stuffy 0/10 was 6/10.
Nose bleeds – none, was every day
Voice pitch changing - doesn't know hasn't talked much in lockdown
Skin hives slight improvement
Sleep with frequent waking 85% improvement although still not super refreshed in the morning
Mary reported that her body didn’t feel as cold as it usually did

One negative thing Sally noticed was that her period came 1 week early, which was different from normal, she was usually very regular, however her period was less heavy. I explained that sometimes during the healing process things can change a bit, but overall she had some good improvements so we should continue with the prescription, but for the next month she should double the dose to 2x per day.

Results at 2 month follow-up
Next month when I saw Mary for her second follow-up she had improved further. She admitted that she had missed the 2nd dose of the medicine 50% of the time, but she still had made very good progress. Below i have listed her progress with her various ailments.

Dystonia spasms (60-70% improvement) on top of what she would expect usually this far out from her regular botox injections.
Raynauds + cramping hands & feet 1-2/10 now, started at 6/10 after botox
Migraine – none and no headaches either, started at 10/10 1x every 3 weeks
CPTSD (Feeling stuck/frightened) - gone
Cognitive energy got better than it did last month and stayed improved with the problem being rated at 2-3/10, started at 7/10
Ears stuffy – gone, was 6/10
Nose bleeds – gone, was 6-7 days per week on waking
Voice pitch changing –gone, voice is normal now,
Speech & word loss (3/10) was 5/10
Period back to 28 days and less heavy but still some clotting
Skin hives 1x small patch only and no steroids,
Hair Dryness – now rated at a 2/10, was a constant 7/10
Insomnia and sleep with frequent waking now dropped back to 50% improvement and still not super refreshed in the morning, was at 85% improvement last month, Body not as cold

Mary was really starting to make some significant progress now. I decided to increase the strength of her medicine to 200C so that it could provide more healing power, whilst she only needed to take it 1x per day.

Later followup
I have seen Mary since our last treatment, not for a Homeopathic consult but for Bowen Therapy. She says that her sleep returned to much improved, and more refreshing soon after we increased the strength of her medicine at her last appointment. I remember her telling me her skin/hives had been going really well without the steroids. The progress we had made had continued to hold and indeed continued to improve. She did report having a bit of a setback after having her COVID injection, but I advised her to adjust her dose and within two weeks she had recovered and continued to improve in many areas. She also mentioned to me that she had had a blood test and her blood platelets were in the normal range for the first time in 13 years, and the only things she had done differently in that time was take the homeopathic medicine and get the COVID jab.

Case Discussion
Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Mary’s body to be able to heal it’s self from conditions that western medicine were unable to treat as effectively as Mary would have liked. She previously had been coping by just doing less, and mentioned that her life was just getting smaller and smaller due to her inability to live life to the full because it would cause all her conditions to flare up. When I saw Mary last she seemed very happy and optimistic, she sounded like she felt in control of her health again. She had just come back from a long hike and was able to live life to the full again.

Homeopathic medicine is natural, and in 200 years of use has proved to have no side effects or interactions with western medicine. The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply.

Tragically, it had been almost a year since the passing of her granddaughter, and she was still experiencing quiet significant feelings of grief, as well as worrying about her children, especially the parent of her deceased granddaughter. Sally had been having some difficulty sleeping and was taking some over the counter medications to help her with sleep.
After assessing Sallys face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Phos 30 as a homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a months time.

Results at one month followup
At the one month followup Sally said she was very pleased with the progress. The fluid in her ear was totally gone along with the vertigo / dizziness. The barking cough she no longer experienced, and the cramping in her feet / calves  and fingers was significantly reduced. Sally said that since she started taking the homeopathic medicine, it had helped her feel more settled with her grieving of her granddaughter, and she now felt more calm and more at peace with the situation. Sally’s sleep had improved and she no longer needed to use the over counter sleep aid she had been using for some time, and was having good quality restorative sleep using the homeopathic remedy alone.
One negative thing Sally noticed was the last couple of days she had been waking up with a sore neck/shoulder, yet it resolved shortly after waking with movement, which I feel was caused by the healing process of her middle ear. Sally continued with the same prescription for another month.
 
Results at two month followup
Next month when I saw Sally for her second follow-up she seemed really pleased with how she was travelling. The fluid in her ear, along with the vertigo had not returned, neither had the barking cough. The new issue of the neck/shoulder pain from our last followup session had fully resolved a couple of days after our last followup session, The cramping in her feet / calves and fingers was still improving and her sleep was still really good. Sally also had bone on bone osteoarthritis in her knee which she had been living with for 20 years, yet she said she felt the homeopathic remedy had helped with the pain in her knee also, she had just been for a long walk and her knee was not sore that day.
 
Case discussion
Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Sally’s body to be able to heal it’s self from conditions that western medicine and surgery were unable to treat as effectively as Sally would have liked. She now has a good level of relief where she doesn’t experience any symptoms from a range of her presenting complains, with medicine that in 200 years of use have proved to have no side effects, and which only cost her $10 for a month’s supply.

175g Organic Shea Butter
275g Organic Coconut Oil
115g Bees Wax
​40g Rice Bran Oil
50 Drops of Lavender Oil

175g Organic Shea Butter
275g Organic Coconut Oil
115g Bees Wax
​60g Rice Bran Oil
20g Jojoba Oil
50 Drops of Lavender Oil

Double Boil Method
Put all the ingredients (except the Lavender Oil) in a bowl and then put the bowl into a saucepan with about 1.5 inches of water at the bottom. Now boil the water in the saucepan and let the ingredients all melt in together. After it is all melted together add the lavender oil and let it heat another 3-4 minutes while stirring the mixture to make sure it is well mixed up.

Next pour the mixture into your ointment container and put it straight into the fridge without the lid on. This is important because it will make sure the ointment sets properly. If you don't mix the ingredients enough or you take too long to put the mixture into the fridge it will set grainy and be uncomfortable to use. If this happens just reheat the ointment and then pour back into the container and refrigerate. 

This ointment doesn't need to be kept in the fridge and doesn't go rancid like some other recipes. It has a long shelf life and really is great for your skin. Enjoy!

Eczema is caused by a combination of the immune system, genetics, environmental triggers and stress. The immune system can over-react to irritants in the diet or the environment and this overreaction can cause inflammation of the skin. Although not much can be done about  genetic factors, there are some things you can do at home to help the situation.

Some foods that can commonly contribute to eczema are dairy products, strawberries, chocolate, citrus fruits, and wheat products. While different people can be effected by different foods, the only way you can really tell if any of these foods is aggravating your skin, is by cutting these foods out of your diet for a period of 2 weeks and see if there is any improvement in your symptoms. If there is significant improvement after removing these foods from your diet you can introduce these foods again one by one and see which one is responsible for irritating your skin.

Since there is a lack of moisture in eczema prone skin, it can be helpful to avoid soaps, and instead use moisturizing body washes (or no soap at all), and frequently moisturize your skin. I share my recipe for my Intense Moisturizing Ointment for Super Dry Skin you can make at home here.

Stressors like teething, becoming run down or catching a cold may play a role in causing eczema flare-ups. 

To get the best results for clients with eczema, Louis targets the problem from both directions. Homeopathic medicine can help correct the over-reaction of the immune system as well as changing the way your body responds to stress, allergens and irritants, so the actual internal cause of eczema is addressed. Then  intense moisturizer can be applied to help the skin recover now that the internal cause of the problem has been relieved.

nothing to improve the health of the skin. My homemade Intense Moisturizing Ointment for Super Dry Skin (which you can download the recipe for free right here) was full of nutrients from natural ingredients, and it kept my daughters skin moisturized longer than anything else we tried. Because there was nutritional content in the cream, the skin actually benefitted significantly more from having this cream applied and she experienced faster healing. It is certainly worth trying to make up this cream, as unlike any other cream we could find at any pharmacy, this home-made one has no chemicals or toxins in there - it is actually fully edible.

Doctors typically prescribe steroid creams for eczema, which can be very effective at relieving the eczema rash, but in many cases because the cause of the eczema is not addressed, once the steroid cream is stopped the eczema soon returns. Also when steroid creams are used for an extended period of time they can cause Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW - see picture above), which is where people get eczema like symptoms when they attempt to stop using steroids because their skin has become addicted to the steroids. The steroids can actually end up causing eczema symptoms worse than the original eczema symptoms. There are also a lot of more serious side effects of long term steroid usage, especially if taken orally.

For people who would like the cause of their eczema addressed, homeopathy can be very good at improving the general health of the body so that long lasting relief can be experienced. Also, in cases where even strong steroids or medications are not able to control eczema, because it works in a different way - homeopathy may help.

Homeopathic medicines are safe for everyone including pregnant women and newborn babies. In over 200 years of use there has been no interactions with western medicines and these natural medicines also have no chemical side effects. In England 42% of doctors actually refer their clients to homeopathic care, and homeopathy is covered under their NHS (Australia's Medicare equivalent). The Queen of England uses homeopathy, which seems to keeping her well into old age, as well as the entire Royal Family having used Homeopathy for 3 generations.

​We had a pediatrition assigned from the hospital who was lovely, but all she could do was prescribe the strongest steroid cream (which we were already using) and just said we are not using enough steroid, we needed to use more. A skin specialist said the same, we needed to apply more steroids, and even gave us a prescription that the pharmacist even questioned us about and said 'Do you know this is known to cause skin cancer?' Luckily we didn't use that particular cream and didn't give up trying to find a solution. We started seeing a famous homeopath in Melbourne and my little girl started to heal. The amount of steroids she was using would have caused a normal person without eczema to get Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) symptoms, similar to eczema symptoms if they suddenly stopped, and so over time we managed to ween her off of the steroid creams.

​6 months after we tried homeopathy this is what she looked like.. It was a bit slow to begin with, and we had to try a couple of different medicines, but there was progress. After 6 months of treatment with the homeopath we were at the point where her skin was clear, and she had totally weened off of the steroids and bleach baths. We still had to be careful about what she ate but her skin was clear! Over time she just got better and better - and can even eat chocolate now (one of her triggers).... and like her treating homeopath said, 'a life without chocolate is not worth living!'

..... So after having ran a busy Bowen Therapy clinic since 2015, I decided I needed to learn homeopathy to be able to help other people with problems like my daughter, so other families can have a happy ending too! :)

Bowen works with the fascia and nervous system and can help to strengthen the signal between the bladder and the rest of the nervous system including the brain. Muscles are controlled by the nerves, and by simply stimulating the nerves to the bladder, including those that control the muscles responsible for the passing of urine, clients find it helps them remain dry. Also, because the nerves around the bladder are more stimulated, clients report a stronger sensation of 'needing to go' which helps in the case of the bladder emptying at random times. Bowen stimulates the 'inner alarm' by creating a stronger sensation of needing to go to the toilet, which is highly effective in most cases.

Typically 3 treatments are required, one per week over a 3 week period, and although everyone is different, usually clients report improvement after the first treatment.
