Men's bodies speak when they can't.  Stress, skin, sleep digestion - these are the signals.  I'm trained to listen.

Stress

In the current climate we are all expected to pay more, work harder and earn less - all with less job security.  Whilst this affects women too, men can find it harder to talk about the way these pressures are affecting them.  Their bodies often end up speaking for them and symptoms emerge which if suppressed or left untreated can escalate.  By matching the symptoms exhibited to a remedy, men find they can face the challenges of their day, sleep better, have more energy and their symptoms reduce.

 

Digestion

Heartburn, a sensitive stomach, food allergies, diarrhoea and constipation are all classic symptoms of a body struggling to cope. I find things often start with one of these and medical intervention leads to the others.  I once helped a man on 17 different medicines and when I asked him what had caused him to take the first of them he said it was heartburn.  This changes the stomach acid, preventing the proper breakdown of food and the absorption of key minerals such as magnesium which is helpful in managing inflammation in the body.  This can manifest as food sensitivities leading to diarrhoea and treatment of this can lead to constipation.  We make adjustments to manage these new complications and keep on turning up for work when your body is shouting for help.  Not only do homeopathic remedies help to alleviate the symptoms but as balance comes physically, your mind starts looking for a way to exist that prevents the stress in the first place.

 

Skin

Skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and rosacea are another common set of symptoms when the system is under pressure and I have found all these things respond well to homoeopathic treatment.  I always look at the whole picture - what caused the disturbance in the first place, what is going on in your life, what treatments are you using and how can I support you through your gut microbiome as well as with homeopathic remedies.

​

New research is highlighting the serious problems which can emerge in the body with prolonged use of antibiotics, steroids and common over-the-counter measures such as omeprazole used to control stomach acid and affect the gut microbiome. Using a combination of dietary adjustments, tissue salts, supplements and homeopathic remedies I have found these conditions to be easily managed.​​

Quick and Effective

Looking for a man's perspective, I asked my son who is a student at uni what he thinks is the most useful thing about homeopathy and he told me he liked how quickly it works.  When you take the right remedy, I expect symptoms to improve within minutes when it is something that has come on recently.  With chronic issues I still expect to see some improvement within the first week - usually a few days - of starting a remedy.  Because homeopathy corrects the imbalance, the body learns to change and although symptoms usually reappear at the start of treatment, by the end - if it is possible to correct them, they should be gone altogether.  Forever.
