Nutrition expertise and optimum mentoring
Self care starts from within. Starting your day with a highly nutritious breakfast sets up your day in a positive way. I then meditate and go for a walk. 💫
What are you doing today?

I love books 📖. I have my own library of hundreds of books. I have lost count. Books broaden the mind and enlighten the spirit and soul.
Today’s purchases include:
📖 Diseases of the Heart and Circulation by Professor Albert Peel, published in 1947 (original)
📖 The Nature Doctor by Dr H. C. Alfred Vogel, originally published in 1952 (676 pages)
📖 A Modern Herbal by M Grieve, originally published in 1931 (912 pages)
.
I love collecting books. I love reading books. Read as many books and as often as you can. The book by Professor Peel is a new addition. One of my most favourite books is a herbal medicine original text published in 1863. She is beautiful. The information is still valid in 2018! .

It is always best to start the day with a healthy breakfast and mindfulness for optimum mental, physical, and emotional health and wellbeing. This can be done anywhere (at home, holidays, local beach or park). I'm currently on the Gold Coast having a time out. Relaxing in the sun. I presented on the topic of MTHFR and Pyrrole Disorder at the NATPRAC Conference yesterday and today is my rest and relax day. It was an awesome conference. 🌞🌊
All the best to you. Hope your dreams come true 💫

Herbal medicine and Endometriosis
🌿
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Some of the symptoms include dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, pain, and infertility. Epigenetics, altered hormones (particularly oestrogen, oestradiol), inflammation, fatigue, and immune dysregulation (including autoimmunity) have been implicated in the progression of endometriosis. There is also the development of scarring and adhesions. All of these negatively impact on quality of life.
🌿
Herbal medicines have a long history of use for women’s health, due to their hormonal, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulatory properties. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 80% of the world’s population use traditional medicine for their primary health care needs, with a focus on herbal medicine.
🌿
This article, published in the ATMS Journal, discusses the potential use of herbal medicines in the management of endometriosis, including: - Cat’s claw, Chaste tree, Cramp bark, Dong quai,Feverfew, Ginger, Green tea, Japanese knotweed, Kudzu, Licorice, St John’s wort, Turmeric, Valerian 🌿
The use of herbal medicine in the management of endometriosis focuses on the actions of the herbs and their effect on the body. Herbal medicines that possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-angiogenic, anti-depressant, anxiolytic, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and hormone regulating properties have the potential to positively impact endometriosis. Further research and clinical trials are required to determine the full effect and potential of herbal medicines on endometriosis. 💫
