Homeopathy for Seniors Afternoon Tea at Whole Foods

by admin on March 23, 2011 in Events

What a fun afternoon I had Friday at our Seniors Tea and Talk with my co-presenter Carol Emerson, DCH over at the Whole Foods Robson Location!

We were able to chat with quite a few folks about homeopathy, their health needs and options in their health care. We also went through all our samples of Traumeel, my favourite homeopathic cream for overworked muscles, inflammation and general aches and pains (hank you to the folks over at Heel for the donation!).

Plus, Whole Foods was offering a great TeaTime meal as part of the event for $3.99, which included wild smoked salmon canape, three petite-fours and tea.

The Seniors Tea at Whole Foods Robson continues every second Friday with different speakers and food specials. Let your friends and relatives know and come enjoy tea and talk with a health specialist.

Help for Hayfever

by admin on March 17, 2011 in Events, Promotions, Seasonal

Q. Can homeopathy help me with my hay fever this spring?

A. Absolutely! A well-chosen remedy based on your individual allergic response can greatly reduce your symptoms this season.

Did you know that the earlier in the season you address your symptoms homeopathically, the faster you’ll be able to nip your allergy problems in the bud?

Below are a few of the more common homeopathic medicines you can try this yourself. If none of these fit your symptoms, or you experience chronic a fever every year, then it may me time for a visit to the homeopath.

Allium Cepa   Suitable when your eyes and nose water profusely and discharge from the nose burns or irritates. It may feel like you just chopped an onion, and that’s what the remedy is made from!

Euphrasia   This remedy is like Allium Cepa but in reverse: it’s the eyes which have watery, burning discharge. It can also feel like there’s sand or grit in them with redness and irritation. Also helpful for sneezing and coughing occurring only in the day.

Sabadilla   Sneezing, sneezing and more sneezing are specific to this remedy! There may be a lot of discharge from the nose that “runs like a tap” and often itchiness inside the mouth. You may also be highly sensitive to odours especially perfume, essential oils and flowers.

Now is a great time to book an appointment for the $50 Hayfever Relief Clinic. The special includes a 30 minute one-on-one consultation with registered, professional homeopath – Tanya Kucey, DCH. Plus a homeopathic medicine chosen specifically for you. The clinic runs from March 21-May 31, 2011.

Easy Does It!

by admin on December 27, 2010 in Seasonal

The holiday season can be full of many treats and temptations which can leave you feeling none too happy if you overindulge.

If you do overdo it, here’s a few common sense tips to help you get through the season:

• If you’re going to be enjoying a couple alcoholic beverages, remember that staying hydrated can stave away a hangover and help support your liver. Try alternating with nonalcoholic drinks such as water or non-acidic fruit juices

• If the damage is done and you wake up with a hangover or upset stomach, try sipping on a warm cup of ginger tea as ginger has wonderful anti-nausea properties

• Hair of the dog might temporarily ease your pain, but won’t do anything to help your liver detoxify and recuperate. Try to avoid alcohol for at least 36 hours if you are suffering a hangover.

Homeopathically, the following remedies may be of benefit to aid simple indigestion, hangovers and constipation. Use a low potency like 6CH or 12 CH. One pellet dissolved in a large glass of water can be sipped on throughout the day.

If your symptoms linger or were present before and are now intensified, it may be time to consider constitutional homeopathic treatment to get to the root of the problem.

Lycopodium helps those who develop a lot of stomach bloating, gurgling, rumbling and a lot of gas especially after eating too much fiber rich foods. They are worse by eating too quickly and by having tight clothes around the waist. They can better by loosening their belt and passing wind.

Nux Vomica is usually indicated for individuals who have overindulged in food and/or alcohol. This is the picture of the classic hangover where individuals feel worst when waking the morning after usually with headache, nausea and anger or irritability. There is the feeling that vomiting would make them feel better but it takes a lot of retching for anything to happen.

Pulsatilla should be considered for individuals who feel worse from overindulging in rich, fatty foods. They may experience nausea, headache and indigestion: especially overnight which can develop into heartburn, gas & belching.

Welcome!

by admin on November 1, 2010 in General

Welcome to the relaunch of the GentleHealth Homeopathy web site!

My name is Tanya Kucey, DCH and I am a qualified, professional homeopath practicing in beautiful Vancouver B.C. In my practice I am fortunate to work with people of all ages ranging from infants to seniors on their journeys from illness through healing with the holistic support of homeopathy.

This gentle system of medicine not only stimulates your own system back into balance and healing, it also offers you the time and space to talk about all of your health concerns. The homeopathic consultation allows you the freedom to be heard in a relaxed atmosphere and at your own pace.

My hope is that you will find relevant, helpful information on homeopathy, health and healing throughout the pages of my web site and here on the blog.

In addition to content related to my practice, I also have a section of Articles pulled from the homeopathic newsletter I produced called Homeopathy & You!.

Check back frequently for updates on homeopathic events, promotions, seasonal content and the latest news.

If you have any questions or comments on homeopathy, my practice or content you would like to see in the article section or here on the blog, please feel free to contact me at: info@gentlehealth.ca
