Earlier this year I sat down with one of my favourite people, Vedic Astrologer Darinka. We talked about the practice, relevance and application of Jytoish (Vedic Astrology) for women as we navigate life phases, hormone changes and Karma. There’s also Venus remedies, the relationship between your birth chart and your health journey and more. Enjoy!
Ever wondered just what you’re putting into your body when you insert a tampon? According to a recent study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley there’s 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 you’ll learn which toxic chemicals have been found in tampons and how to better navigate the world of feminine hygiene products.
Ever wondered if your hormones could be behind your fatigue, skin problems, mood changes, eating habits, weight changes or other symptoms that seem a bit ‘random’? Ever wanted a bit of ‘hormone coaching’? This webinar demystifies hormonal changes in women in the midlife, revealing the hormone shifts behind a myriad of common symptoms. Join evidence-based naturopath Sulin as she decodes your hormones, bringing almost two decades of balancing hormones and interpreting hormone pathology tests to the table.
If you’re a woman in your midlife and a few symptoms are starting to emerge (lower energy, food cravings, wakeful sleep, weight gain, irritability….) then you might be in perimenopause. The 8-12 years before menopause is achieved. Read on to learn more about how to recognise this life phase that all women will experience.
Perimenopause is not simply a great hormonal event, it’s a catalyst for a range of inflammatory conditions including joint pain, morning stiffness, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, chest pain and depression associated with inflammatory factors in the brain. Read on to learn more about why Perimenopause is a great inflammatory event in a woman’s life and how we can better prepare ourselves to manage it.
Have you ever bathed your nervous system in bliss chemistry? It feels like a deep deep peace, like a gentle reminder of feeling still, safe and held. It’s taking a pause from the chaos of modern life, to just ‘be’. It’s this experience that’s what draws a lot of people to Vedic meditation including myself. So I talked to Dr Anna Young Ferris, an experienced Vedic meditation teacher about this calming, consciousness building practice and we had a beautiful conversation for my Well Woman podcast. I’m sharing it here for all of you beautiful readers. Enjoy xo Sulin
Ward off colds and flus this winter with a humble herbal steam, a much loved preparation in all herbal traditions that’s simple to make, affordable and soothing to the whole body and soul. If you’ve ever had a warm cup of herbal tea and inhaled the vapours, you’ll know that hot herbal infusions can clear the nasal cavity and make breathing easier. Or if you’ve use aromatic shower bombs and smelt the vapours clearing your head as you shower, which is the same principle. Steaming herbs releases the volatile oils in the herbs, allowing them to fight microbial, bacterial and viral pathogens accumulating in your nasal cavity. The herbal steam technique is the first therapy you can whip up at the first signs of a cold or flu. Discover how to create your own herbal steam and keep your upper respiratory passageways clean, calm and moist over the cooler seasons.

Hello Possums, as we approach the end of this year and the beginning of a new one, I feel like we need this fresh start considering all the stresses and uncertainties of the past few years.
