Homeopathic Diamond- Adamas

Therapies Posted on Tue, April 27, 2021 10:42AM

Diamonds, alongside approximately 6000 different substances, have been made into a homeopathic remedy. Their prescription is based on the degree of the symptom similarity between the homeopathic picture of Diamond and the individual person.


So, who is the person who might need a Diamond as their remedy?


People who represent the energy of a Diamond are strong, ambitious and very hard working. They are perfectionist who take a lot of pride in their profession and like to shine, having reached the top rung of their career ladder. These type of people had to withstand a lot of pressure in their lives in order to become who they are now. But being at the pinnacle can be a lonely experience which can lead to dissatisfaction.


Diamond can represent the deepest, darkest and most overwhelming type of depression. Just like diamond can shatter when dropped, these people can feel ‘destroyed’ by life circumstances. There is complete darkness, sense of oppression, pressure closing in on all sides, no matter how hard they are fighting to keep it at bay. Previously sharp intellect can become dulled and the affected person might complain from cloudiness of thoughts and can even start making mistakes in words whilst talking or writing. Their previous clarity of mind is replaced by inability to make and stick to any decisions, yet we might be able to glimpse their previous need for order and harmony reflected by fixed and compulsive desire for certain things to be done or placed in a particular way.


People who benefit from homeopathic Diamond have problems relating to others because they can feel somewhat ‘detached’, separate, and can be very easily irritated by as little as a wrong word uttered by a wrong time, especially if it came from one of their loved ones. Their pains and sensations have a ‘cutting’  and sharp (as if sharp needles were being driven into affected part of the body) character and are very often accompanied by feeling of icy coldness.

Colours of the Mind

Therapies Posted on Tue, October 06, 2020 11:58AM

The Mind is our most powerful tool {next to our Heart} it holds our thoughts, our intellect, our moods the whole of our personality.

Would you be surprised to learn there is a map to the human mind?

The mind has many temples, each one having its own gifts and benefits that control different physiological functions as well as stimulating our creative energies. Did you know these energetic spheres within the mind all have their own unique Colour?

I am able to translate the frequency of these Colours to the mind and I can also understand its labyrinth of vibrating neural pathways, to be able create a ‘Mind Map of Colours’ for your greater awareness.

Just to make things clear – I am not a mind reader.. No!!

What I am, is a ‘Colour Therapist’ who uses the sacred language of Colour (as keys) to unlock the doors to your mind and release its great potential. I can bring something through ‘The Veil of Amnesia’ as a soothing salve for your Healing.

The only ingredient you need is an ‘Open Mind’. Once resistance is removed I then ask you to pre-choose  x4 Colours that move you most, then allow me to work on the ‘Colours of your Mind’ over a period of time (4/5 days). After this time you will be ready to receive what is rightfully yours, in the form of a 90min in depth consultation/explanation which includes your hand written personal ‘Mind Map’ to keep. {Fee £45}

Receiving your ‘Mind Map’ means you will be given a ‘Divine piece of Science’ that is filled with words for you to ponder over and process to see how it applies to your life, especially the parts that are most inspiring or that challenge you.

It will change the way you think about yourself and your world, it has the potential to access your higher-self and to see how you have all the answers to your own questions from the inner-world of your own Colourful mind.

Coughs and Colds, Naturally!

General Health & Wellbeing, Therapies Posted on Wed, March 18, 2020 04:07PM

Despite it already being Spring time, it looks like the season of colds and coughs is nowhere near left behind yet!

The recent outbreak of Coronavirus is not helping the matters in any way, with current NHS advice to self- isolate (which I urge you to follow) on sign of any symptoms which may relate to corona, it becomes very frightening to start noticing a bit of a sore throat or the dreaded cough in yourself or your loved ones!

Whilst there is no current cure or proven treatment for the circulating strain of coronavirus, there are many tried and tested approaches to coughs and colds which may come very useful when used alongside other measures.

With this in mind, my top 4 herbs for a sore throat and dry cough are:

  • Licorice root- which has a very strong soothing and anti-inflammatory action- you can try it as a syrup, lozenges or even as tea!
  • Marshmallow root- known to relieve cough which is dry and hacking in character- cost commonly found as a tea or extract
  • Plantain- especially useful for coughs which seem to have no end and there’s some wheezing involved
  • Slippery Elm- has a coating and soothing action for throat- you can try it as a tea

My top 4 homeopathic remedies for dry coughs are:

  • Aconite- if the cough seems to come on suddenly and ‘out of nowhere’, especially if accompanied by high fever and a lot of feelings of anxiety
  • Bryonia- especially useful if the cough causes a splitting headache and you feel like holding your sides in order to cough
  • Kali Carb- if you need to sit up in order to be able to get relief whilst coughing and the attacks usually come on at night
  • Phosphorus- if the cough is a result of a tickling sensation and causes burning in your chest

but:

  • If you feel very cold and swallowing causes a stabbing pain in your throat (especially if it travels to your right ear), please try Hepar Sulph!

There are many remedies, both herbal and homeopathic, which could be used for cough symptoms and, in order to be of the most benefit, need to be chosen to the exact symptoms you are experiencing.

If you are looking to support your immune system in this stressful and taxing time, I can recommend my top 3 supplements:
