REMEDIES FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON

The lead up to the festive period is a busy time for everyone and over indulgence in food and drink during the festive season is all part of the fun – but it can take its toll on our bodies and leave us feeling bloated and unwell.

We need to look at the festive season and plan ahead.

Alongside the mince pies and yule logs, I make sure my cupboard is well stocked with homeopathic medicines to help my family through the ailments of the season.

A particular favourite with patients, is the homeopathic remedy Nux vomica, which many people use to help with the symptoms of a hangover.

I often say: “Different remedies help with different sets of symptoms. In homeopathy, we treat according to the individual symptoms of the patient and how if effects them, rather than based on the named condition. Patients usually come to a homeopath with a chronic illness, such as eczema, and because the treatment is individual, 10 people with eczema would usually be prescribed different remedies.

“Minor complaints and acute illnesses are more superficial and remedies can be used at home with good results. Nux vomica does help many people with hangover symptoms. While it’s important to lead a healthy lifestyle, it’s also good to let your hair down once in a while!”

Here are just a few remedies which might help you through the ailments of the festive period:

Nux vomica: this is known as “the hangover” remedy but can also be used for the general symptoms of over-indulgence. Symptoms include heartburn, indigestion, and nausea, a headache, sensitivity to noise and light, and irritability. Particularly suits “workaholics” who tend to burn the candle at both ends, keep going with coffee and feel the cold.

Arsenicum: this remedy comes into play when the symptoms are like that of food poisoning, with vomiting and diarrhoea, a pale palour and anxiety. Symptoms are worse at night, with burning in the digestive tract and a desire to sip water. It suits restless people who worry, need to plan ahead and feel the cold.

Sulphur: symptoms include offensive diarrhoea which drives the patient from bed in the morning, excessive sweating, and burning feet. Suits stubborn proud people who are always hot, and crave sugar and spicy food.

Lycopodium: symptoms include bloating with wind, a huge appetite, and waking as if from a fright. There is heartburn with sour burping. Suits fearful people lacking in confidence, especially in new things, but can be bragging and assertive at home.

Arnica: this is a great remedy to help with bruising and that “battered” feeling you get after Christmas shopping or bargain hunting in the January sales.

If you would like further advice on when you can treat at home, and when you should seek professional

HOMEOPATHY

Alternative relief for hay fever sufferers

The hay fever season is well and truly upon us, but this is no reason to ignore the symptoms which can cause discomfort for so many. Homeopaths are busy helping hay fever sufferers who want an alternative to conventional medication to ease their symptoms. Between 15 and 20 per cent of the British population suffer from the often debilitating symptoms of pollen allergy, ranging from sneezing to itchy swollen eyes.

Some of those turn to homeopathy because they find that anti-histamines don’t work well or have side effects, and others want an alternative to conventional drugs or a longer term solution to tackling their symptoms.

Homeopathic remedies can not only tackle the symptoms when they happen, but by triggering the body’s own system of healing, can help to stop the symptoms occurring in the first place.

A number of research trials into the use of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of patients with hay fever, have shown significant improvement in symptoms.

It is recommended that a qualified and registered homeopath is consulted as each sufferer will be treated according to their own individual combination of symptoms and how it affects them. However, homeopathic medicines (known as remedies) can be used at home, once the symptoms start.

Listed below are some common remedies and pointers to the symptoms that would indicate their use:

Euphrasia: eyes inflamed, with profuse watering which seems to burn. Can be a thick discharge from eyes and feeling of pressure. Nose streaming. Better in the open air.

Allium cepa: watery discharge from the nose, can drip, leaving nose sore and raw. Watery eyes. Violent sneezing. Better in the open air.

Arsenicum: burning watery discharge from eyes and nose, with tickling building up to a sneeze. At its worst just after midnight. This patient will be restless and anxious.

Nux vom: sneezing fits, nose, eyes and face very irritated and hot. Itching extends to the larynx and trachea. Eyes light-sensitive. Irritated, impatient and snappy.

Lachesis: sneezing fits worse after sleep. Headache and dry stuffed sensation through the head, with red puffy face and sore nostrils and lips. The throat can also be sensitive, especially to pressure.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, given mainly in tablet form, with the aim of triggering the body’s natural system of healing.

SHIATSU - WHAT IS IT AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE SOME?

Having recently practiced what I preach and had a shiatsu treatment it has reminded me of the different levels that this form of bodywork can reach. Yes my poor knees feel better and my back has been stretched out and my neck feels as if it's where it should be, but more than that I feel centered and balanced and peaceful.

It is so hard to put the experience into words, but the treatment was gentle and compassionate, dynamic and energizing. I hadn't noticed how sluggish and stagnant my body and energy had become until the following day when I enthusiastically jumped out of bed and realised that I hadn't done that for some time. And one week later not only am I still feeling the same, but I am motivated to do my own stretches and exercises to maintain this delicious feeling. Oh... and one last thing - I am eating less because my energy is balanced and abundant and I don't need to fuel myself the way I did before.

So if you are feeling tired, fatigued, heavy or unmotivated I would urge you to try a session.

You can contact me at The Well Being Clinic 01672 513583 or directly on 07977 863769

Habits – ditch the bad ones, grab the good ones -

by Isla Baliszewska, Life and Performance Coach at the Wellbeing Clinic

My foray into coaching began when someone told me that they had learned how to get out of their own way. What they meant on a deeper level, was they were moving away from behaviours that did not suit their aspirations, they were effectively changing their habits.

On a neurological level habits are a 3 step loop, starting with a cue (hunger), moving on to a routine (eating), then finishing with a reward (satiation). Once your habit is ingrained your brain becomes less engaged in the decision making process. So unless you deliberately challenge and kick against a habit, you will revert to the established behaviours. Although habits never disappear, understanding how they form gives you an edge in changing them.

Our habits become so ingrained we lose awareness of the cues that trigger the routines. Studies show that if we create a simple cue and a very clear reward, your brain starts anticipating that reward which affects your behaviours and pulls you towards that new habit. Say you want to start an exercise regime but can’t get motivated. Your simple cue could be to put your gym bag by the door every day. Your reward might be to have a great coffee with a friend afterwards.

One of the biggest distractions to employees and business people is the ‘need’ to respond to emails and texts. Simply turning off the buzz announcement for texts removes the cue that prompts your old habit of immediately responding. The reward is implicit – you are more focused and productive!

Changing habits isn’t easy and working with someone to make this happen and make the changes stick is a great way forward. You can find out more about how to build new positive habits that work for you through coaching with NLP by contacting us at the Wellbeing Clinic on 01672 513583.

Sharing your worries

2012-10-17T11:57:00.000+01:00

A Danish study of more than 180,000 patients found that having a general check-up with a doctor may cause undue stress and may be a waste of time. Lasse Grogsboll of the research team said "...we do think that public healthcare initiatives that are systematically offering general health checks should be resisted"

The thinking is that the people who go for a general check-up with the GP are the 'worried well' and that they are less likely to be unwell. The question here is how to get the people who are ill and do not want to go to their GP to open up and seek help. Talking and sharing is undoubtedly one of the best ways to start dealing with an illness, be it physical, mental or emotional.

It is often the case that once people have taken the first step to talk to someone they are more able to find the right way towards healing. Jill Sudbury of the Welbeing Clinic gives an example; "I had a lady book for a reflexology appointment and when she came it was not long before she was talking about some deep seated issues associated with bereavement. Once she had opened up and started to talk to about these things she was able to confront some difficult issues and start taking steps forward. She subsequently attended some counselling sessions and the change in her was remarkable."

The power of sharing your concerns or worries with the right person should not be underestimated. It might be that the GP surgery is the best port of call in the first instance, or it might be a friend or perhaps an alternative therapist or counsellor. The important thing is not to let yourself become unwell because you feel you should keep everything contained and manage alone.

The Marvel of Meditation

2012-09-18T11:46:00.000+01:00

Science likes meditation. Read this from LiveScience.com:

"When the team compared brain scans from subjects who had more mindful dispositions....they found a stark difference, the mindful subjects experienced greater activation in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and a greater calming effect in the amygdala after labeling their emotions....These findings may help explain the beneficial health effects of mindfulness meditation, and suggest an underlying reason why mindfulness meditation programs improve good health" (David Creswell, UCLA psychologist).

Maxine Fone is a popular and renowned London based meditation teacher and she is running a special course at the Wellbeing Clinic in Marlborough to offer beginners and professionals the opportunity to develop and improve their meditation skills and practice. The course is unique in that Maxine uses Angelic tuning forks which clear auric fields and help focus, while opening the gateway for spiritual insights and experiences.

So, now that the world of science has given meditation the green light, here are a few of the wonders that it can evoke:

Increasing blood flow and slowing the heart rate
Creating deeper relaxation
Enhancing the immune system
Lowering oxygen consumption
Slowing or controlling chronic pain
Decreasing muscle tension
Harmonising the endocrine system
Reducing anxiety attacks by lowering blood lactate levels
Building self-confidence and self-awareness
Increasing serotin levels to positively influence mood and behaviour
Improving learning and memory
Resolving phobias and fears
Slowing the mind ageing rate
Increasing perceptual ability and motor performance
Positively impacting intelligence growth rate
Decreasing potential for mental illness............

.........and we could go on!

Give it a go, contact the Wellbeing Clinic to sign up for Maxine's course. Things can only get better.

Childrens Drop-In Homeopathic Clinic

2010-01-12T21:19:00.001+00:00

On Monday 25th January the Wellbeing clinic will be offering a children's drop-in homeopathic clinic from 3.30p.m to 5.00p.m.
The clinic homeopath Androulla Derbyshire is highlighting an alternative approach to childrens healthcare after a government watchdog warned that many cough and cold medicines aimed at young children are ineffective and can cause side effects.
The charity Deafness Research UK has warned that thousands of children could be affected by ear infections not properly treated and that routine antibiotics do not always work.
Androulla has worked with many children with ear problems. One success story was a young boy of six who was diagnosed with glue ear and was waiting for an operation for grommets. His hearing had been affected and he was having difficulty at school. After three months of homeopathic treatment his hearing had improved and he did not need to have grommets fitted. He continues to do well with homeopathic treatment.

Xocai Powersquares - The Healthy Dark Chocolate

2009-09-26T08:51:00.002+01:00

Xocai (pronounced 'Sho-Sigh') chocolate is a special chocolate with the highest antioxidant value of any other on the market. The level of cacao in it is EIGHT times higher than that in standard cacao manufacturing.

The chocolate contains none of the usual unhealthy ingredients of some other chocolates like refined sugar, fillers and bad fats. The active flavanols from the cocoa bean are actively preserved in its production (80% of these are lost in the production of standard chocolate).

This powerful health promoting chocolate has the added benefit of freeze drived Acai berry and blueberries, both naturally high in antioxidants.

The benefits of Xocai chocolate
healthier cholesterol levels
it is diabetic and vegetarian friendly
it tastes fantastic.

Xocai chocolate is a Fairtrade recognised product and Kosher certified.

Why eat it?
to support your cardiovascular health
to provide antioxidant protection
to protect cellular function
to support memory and brain health
to boost energy levels

Xocai chocolate also suppresses food cravings and can contribute to weight loss if used with a carefully controlled eating plan.

Improving Your Pregnancy with Chiropractic Care

2009-08-31T11:17:00.005+01:00

Today's woman constantly juggles an incredible number of responsibilities; jobs, children, friendships, marriages, errands, appointments - the list is endless! You've got to be healthy just to keep up. Women have special health concerns during every phase of their lives; pregnancy is certainly one of the most important and complex phases. Although the changes women experience from pregnancy are natural, a little extra help is sometimes needed to cope with the dramatic changes in their bodies.

A Perfect Pregnancy

In addition to the noticeable changes pregnancy causes in a woman's body, pregnancy can cause subtle changes in the muscular-skeletal system; changes your chiropractor is able to detect and correct. Because the baby lies forward in the woman's body during pregnancy, her centre of gravity shifts and the spine alters itself to accommodate this change. As a result, many expectant mothers may experience low back and pelvic pain. These stresses and strains can be relieved with regular chiropractic care. Many chiropractic patients report that their deliveries were faster and more comfortable than deliveries prior to chiropractic care.

It's especially important during pregnancy that nerve impulses flow from the brain to all parts of the body. A slightly out-of-place vertebra can create nerve irritation that snarls the body's communication system. Using gentle spinal adjustments, the chiropractic doctor can relieve this nerve irritation, allowing the body's energy to flow freely again and eliminate periodic pain through nature's own healing power! Your chiropractic doctor will use special, modified techniques during your pregnancy to make your spinal adjustments easy and comfortable.

Choose Chiropractic Care

It's easier to be fit, healthy, and experience a trouble-free pregnancy when your body freely sends the right messages. Chiropractic care focuses on the overall effects of spinal misalignment on the nerves that carry health-giving energy to every cell of the body. Chiropractic helps women get well and stay well - before, during, and after their pregnancies.

Chiropractic is for the whole family. It’s never too soon!

Common Questions & Answers regarding Chiropractic & Pregnancy

Q: Is chiropractic safe in pregnancy?
A: Chiropractic is very safe and very sensible for both mother and baby.

Q: Is it difficult to receive a chiropractic adjustment when pregnant?
A: Not at all. Chiropractors are trained in adjusting the spines of pregnant women and many chiropractic adjusting tables have special modifications and pillows for the pregnant figure.

Q: How late in pregnancy is it possible to get an adjustment?
A: Patients have received adjustments even during labour, as that is when movement/shifting happens in the mother's pelvic area.

Q: Can spinal care help postpartum depression?
A: For years chiropractic's beneficial effects on emotional stress and personality have been noted. At least one journal has quoted a doctor as saying that "postpartum depression is a rarity in patients receiving chiropractic care".

Q: Can back pain be helped with chiropractic?
A: With chiropractic spinal adjustments the body will be better able to heal its back and spinal pain, as well as many other health problems. Studies have shown a significant decrease in back and labour pains in mothers receiving chiropractic care.

Q:Do I have to have a problem in pregnancy to see a chiropractor?
A: Not at all. Chiropractic should be used as preventive maintenance. Periodic spinal checkups during pregnancy should be as common as periodic weight checkups.

Q: Can my baby receive chiropractic?
A: Infants a few hours old have been given spinal checkups and adjustments, if needed.

Tips to Ease the Strain of Caring for a Baby

Caring for a baby is rewarding - and hard work. Like other kinds of work that require lifting, bending, long periods of sitting, and repetitive motions, it can be harmful to your body. Try these simple tips to prevent problems before they begin.

~ Put one foot on a box or low shelf when you stand and change nappies. This causes your pelvis to tilt in a way that decreases pelvic fatigue.
~ Keep work surfaces at a comfortable height. Put something under the legs of the changing table, for instance, to raise it if you're tall.
~ Don't try to hold the baby and wrestle the side of a cot down at the same time. Instead, drop the cot side before you pick up the child.
Don't bend from the waist when you lift the child. Squat with your back straight, keep the child close to you, and use your leg muscles to rise.
~ Don't bend over into the car when putting your child in the car seat. Sit sideways on the seat with the child on your lap, then rotate to face front and put the child in the seat.
~ Make sure your feet touch the floor and your back is supported when you sit holding your child. Keep your knees at the same height as your hips or slightly higher.
~ Adjust stroller handles so you're not bending over when you push.
~ When loading a pushchair or groceries in the car trunk, rest one foot on the bumper and keep the load close to your body.

The Stigma of Mental Health

2009-08-24T14:56:00.004+01:00

"Psychologies magazine recently ran an article about the stigma attached to mental health. Thanks to well-known figures like Stephen Fry and Ruby Wax who have shared some of their personal experiences of mental health and shown us that there are people and places supporting those with mental health disorders, we are beginning to move towards removing some of this stigma.

Rethink's Stigma Shout survey revealed that people experience most discrimination about their mental health problems from those close to them, family, employers, neighbours and friends. Rethink, Mind, Kings College London and Mental Health Media are running a project this year aiming to change our cultural perception of mental health and how we treat people who suffer from mental disorders, " to create concern for mental health and to challenge apathy and neglect" (MIND). Time to Change's Get Moving Week (3rd-11th October 2009) is the opportunity to run events nationwide to promote the benefits of exercise for mental health sufferers. Time to Change is the largest project yet aiming to end discrimination that people with mental health issues face in the UK.

We at the Clinic are fully supportive of these campaigns and complementing medical intervention we offer a valuable source of additional therapies. We have excellent resources available to help people deal with these issues in their daily lives. We have expereinced therapists who have been trained in mental health who can offer counselling, healing, and help with life choices to provide practical and emotional support to face challenges particular to mental health issues day to day. The Clinic has helped sufferers with bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress, clinical depression, anxiety, post natal depression, eating disorders, phobia and many other conditions, working with different types of therapy isuch as counselling, coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy, NLP, therapeutic massage.

My aim is for this project to be ongoing and will include training the local medical teams so that they can continue our work.

I am raising money for a charity, World Medicine and I'd really appreciate your support.

Your donation would be greatly appreciated. Donations are needed to cover the cost of travel, lodgings, translators and equipment. It's easy to donate online by credit or debit card - just go to my Justgiving page

What is Chiropractic?

2009-08-11T12:39:00.004+01:00

Chiropractic is a drugless and non-surgical form of health care that aims to treat causes rather than symptoms. The term 'chiropractic' literally translated means 'done by hand' and chiropractic restores health by adjustments of the spine and other joints of the body using the hand. The basic principle of chiropractic is that disturbances of the nervous system, resulting from subluxation of the bones of the spine and other parts of the body, are a primary or contributory factor in the pathological process of many common human and animal ailments.

There are many chiropractic approaches and techniques used around the world, often named after their originator. The McTimoney method of chiropractic is typified by a whole body assessment and swift, light force adjustments, which makes it a comfortable treatment to receive. The subtlety of the adjustment demands great sensitivity and mechanical skill, and once mastered the technique is extremely effective.

Chiropractors consider that the body benefits from having periodic chiropractic treatments on a preventative basis so that incipient problems may be avoided.

Many people wonder what the differences are between the various manipulative approaches. In general terms, physiotherapy works on the soft tissue between the vertebrae and other joints and does not usually involve spinal manipulation; osteopathy tends to apply long lever techniques if the spine is manipulated, whilst chiropractic applies short levers in a precise adjustment of the individual vertebrae. Soft tissue work and rehabilitation is often an integral part of the chiropractic treatment also.

Conditions Commonly Treated

Chiropractic has provided effective relief to millions of individuals suffering from back and neck ailments. Chiropractic has also provided relief from many other musculoskeletal complaints ranging from knee and ankle problems to carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. In fact, musculoskeletal pain or discomfort in any area of the spine or extremity is a candidate for safe, natural, non invasive chiropractic care. If a condition exists which is better suited for treatment by a medical specialist, chiropractors are fully trained to identify such conditions and make the appropriate referral. However, most patients suffering from musculoskeletal complaints can and are successfully treated with chiropractic every single day.

Common musculoskeletal conditions treated:

• low back pain and stiffness
• neck and upper back pain and stiffness
• mid back pain and stiffness
• headaches and migraines
• leg pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
• arm pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
• extremity joint pain and dysfunction
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• reduced degeneration and tissue injury risk
• enhanced tissue injury
• decreased tissue inflammation
• decreased stiffness

Common Injuries Treated

Chiropractors commonly treat all types of injuries and recognize the unique findings associated with each. For example, it's important to understand that auto injuries often involve a delayed onset of symptoms which commonly surface weeks and even months post-accident. In work injuries, chiropractors routinely look beyond the actual injury and address such things as work station setup, ergonomically correct equipment, and proper work techniques. For sports injuries, chiropractors often check for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a routine part of the treatment plan. Treating the whole person and optimizing health is what chiropractic is all about

• car accident and whiplash injuries
• on-the-job and lifting injuries
• sports/athletic injuries
• slip and fall injuries
• chronic injuries

Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated

In addition to musculoskeletal problems, chiropractic treatments have also been shown to benefit many individuals suffering from "medical" ailments such as chronic ear infections in children, menstrual pain and irregularities in women, and arthritis in the elderly. Although chiropractic care is not a specific form of treatment for such conditions, research has shown that many "medical" conditions can be caused or aggravated by irritation to spinal nerve roots which share an intimate relationship with the spinal structures. By restoring proper nerve functioning and by normalizing spinal structure and function, we believe some individuals suffering from these "medical" ailments may obtain partial and in some cases, full relief.

Non-musculoskeletal conditions which studies have shown may benefit from chiropractic:

• asthma
• attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
• dizziness and dysequilibrium
• dysmenorrhea
• infantile colic
• low energy levels
• otitis media (ear infection)
• ulcers
• sense of well being
• balance and coordination

Please note these are conditions seen commonly in clinic. Many are cured, many are improved, some require another approach depending on their individual histories which are thoroughly examined in the course of an assessment.

To those interested it is well worth exploring the vast amount of evidence based research gathered which supports the chiropractor’s everyday findings.
