Hello all, there are things to think about before you buy supplements, especially if you’re taking a lot of supplements and sourcing them from all over the globe. These are my thoughts on the extra additives in tablets, capsules and pills. What to look out for and what your best options are for keeping your medicine kit safe and keeping you well ๐ ๐ย Sulin
For too long women have been overlooked in research and development. Last year the Australian Menopause Society listed the top research studies that were noteworthy. There were 5. We’re still exposed to toxic chemicals every month even if we use some of the more ‘eco’ options like menstrual cups or reusable underwear. We’re still suffering with macabre instruments when we need our reproductive parts examined like pap smears for example…. So you could imagine Labor’s pledge to spend $573 million on womens health is a beacon of hope for all of us. Read to for my take as a naturopath on what it means for us.

I always say โdonโt hate your hormonesโ, because at the base of all hormone conditions is a body thatโs just trying to cope, protect itself and regain balance and cortisol is a great example of a hormone thatโs struggling in our modern world.

Letโs talk about your liver. As we age we (usually!) become much more aware of how important our liver function is to overall health and wellness. For women especially, our liver in the Western biomedical paradigm, is the centre of detoxifcation and hormone regulation along. Itโs also where we store our iron. And itโs affected by a sedentary lifestyle, over-eating and a diets high in saturated fats and sugar. If you look at the Eastern perspective, the liver plays a central role in menstrual regulation, blood quality and flow of blood along with being the seat of emotions. So in Chinese medicine, everything you feel….your liver feels. In fact in all systems of medicine that recognise the role of emotions in disease, maintaining a clear, healthy and strong liver is a priority.

Ever wondered just what youโre putting into your body when you insert a tampon? According to a recentย studyย byย researchers at the University of California, Berkeley thereโs a lot more to your average tampon than cotton and rayon. It seems that tampons have become a bit of a health hazard because of their chemical contents. Think heavy metals like lead, hormone disrupting chemicals like phthalates and a host of chemicals used in manufacture like whitening agents, antimicrobials and lubricators. Dealing with the monthly bleed just got a whole lot messier. In this article youโll learn which toxic chemicals have been found in tampons and how to better navigate the world of feminine hygiene products.ย
