Whole Woman Workshops

Whole Woman Workshops are an opportunity to explore a natural approach to the phases and transitions that women experience during our lives, from periods to pregnancy through to menopause.

I would like to see all women enjoy these natural processes and transitions, free from pain, discomfort, depression, anxiety and the many other pitfalls that can come along.

The first workshop in a series is "A natural approach to... periods" Saturday 17th July 9.30-1pm.

Spring Foods, Detox and Health

2010-03-22T23:44:00.015Z

Has anyone experienced headaches, rashes, bloating, irritability, nausea, cravings, achy limbs, flu or lack of energy recently? These symptoms are signs that the toxins leaving your body are overwhelming your lymph, blood and liver. Well this is quite normal for spring time. Your body is going through a natural spring cleanse whether you like it or not.

With all the detoxification your body is going through you can support yourself at this time and reduce those symptoms by following these guidelines:

Eat seasonally and start to alter the foods you eat to match the energy of the spring.

Make the transition towards a lighter diet with lots of chlorophyll-rich green vegetables.

Slowly increase your raw intake but still include some warming soups and stews.

Start the day with a mug of warm water with ½ a squeezed lemon to stimulate your liver.

Skin brush with a natural bristle brush towards your heart to stimulate your lymphatic system. And keep those toxins moving out of the body with 8 glasses of water spread throughout the day.

For breakfast, have some protein to help avoid blood sugar symptoms listed above.

Move away from the porridge and try a smoothie made with soaked almonds and seeds, fruit, natural yoghurt and soaked linseeds.

Start your meals with some sprouted seeds and pulses - mung beans and alfalfa are superfoods, high in nutrients and digestive enzymes which have a powerful effect on the liver.

Include ginger and quinoa (a complete protein and great for energy) to support your kidneys.

Increase potassium rich foods – green leafy vegetables, parsley, watercress, peas, bananas, apples, avocados, raisins, apricots, seeds and nuts and oily fish.

Finally, you can use naturopathic techniques such as skin brushing, Epsom salt baths and enemas to help support and clear organs that may be struggling. A colonic at this time can be very helpful.
