A Healing Perspective on Mind, Energy, and Balance through understanding the Gunas

 


Ancient Indian healing traditions teach that true wellbeing is not something we “fix,” but something we remember. Beneath our shifting moods, habits, and identities, there is a natural intelligence always moving us toward balance. One of the clearest ways to understand this movement is through the wisdom of the three gunas.

The gunas are subtle qualities of nature that shape our energy, mind, emotions, and consciousness. They are always present, always changing, and always interacting within us. When we learn to recognise them, we gain a powerful lens for self-healing, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth without force or self-judgment.

These three energies shape our inner world

The understanding of the gunas can be found in many Indian traditional texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. The gunas are basically three in nature. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas and each of these have different functions. Colours, food, water, in fact everything around you, carries these gunas. If you eat junk food it makes you feel heavy and tamasic, if you use the colour red that is rajasic, if you eat onions, they are rajasic and if you sacrifice something to help another that is sattvic. So, there is a subtleness to the gunas that you will discover as you become more aware of how they work in you.

Tamas is the most dense and heavy

Tamas is the energy of heaviness, stillness and rest. At its best, it allows deep sleep, stability, and recovery when you need it but as an extreme it causes stagnation. You will notice it perhaps as fatigue or numbness, depression or apathy, confusion, doubt or avoidance or emotional heaviness and attachment. Energetically it feels like you are blocked and there is no flow.

Rajas is your fire, your passion, your movement

Rajas is the energy of activity and change. It fuels ambition, creativity, and desire but can also easily tip into excess. You may experience rajas as restlessness or anxiety, overthinking or stress, emotional intensity or irritability or being constantly driven with no rest. Rajas is nervous system activation. It can fuel your passion which is good but is not often in balance.

Sattva is when you have clarity, harmony and a lightness

Sattva is the energy of balance and awareness. It brings coherence to the body, steadiness to the mind, and openness to the heart. You may feel sattva as a calmness of presence, emotional ease, compassion and empathy, a quiet joy and trust or a sense of being “at home” within yourself. Sattva is the state in which healing integrates and insight arises naturally and for this reason this state makes for easy mindfulness and meditation.

Everything Is a Blend

No emotion, thought, or action is purely one guna or the other. So, they are not purely tamasic, rajasic, or sattvic. Each moment carries a unique blend of all three. What matters most is which energy is leading. This is why change is always possible. Even within anger, there is a clarity waiting to be uncovered. Even within darkness and heaviness (tamas), there is the seed of movement (rajas) and light (sattva). The key to dominion over the gunas is not suppression but awareness and intention.

Healing through conscious awareness

Traditional Indian healing systems recognise that we are nourished on many levels not only by food, but by also by actions and thoughts. Your whole being is constantly being fed by what you eat and drink, what you see, hear, and scroll, the conversations you engage in, the environments you spend time in and the thoughts you repeatedly return to in your head. Each of these carries a guna quality. In order to take control and self-care after any experience, gently ask yourself if you feel more open or more contracted? More clear or more scattered? More alive or more depleted? Just noticing these things is a powerful act of self-care.

Attention Is Energy

You may not control which thoughts or emotions arise but you do shape the inner landscape by where you place your attention. What you dwell on grows and what you resist often intensifies. If you stay present however and work through it your presence softens negativity. In this way from an energetic perspective, attention is a form of nourishment.

Living and Acting in Sattva

Action also has also an energetic signature. Sattvic action feels aligned rather than forced, thoughtful rather than impulsive, grounded in integrity rather than urgency. Before acting, try asking ‘What is moving me right now? Is this coming from fear, desire, or clarity?’ When intention and action are aligned, the nervous system relaxes and energy flows more freely.

Moving Gently Towards Balance

When energy feels heavy or shut down, begin with movement (rajas) such as walking, gentle exercise, breathwork, moving in a routine and being out in fresh air. This movement restores your circulation both physically and energetically.

When life feels overstimulating, begin to soften by including meditation, time out in nature, journaling, more presence and less stimulation and slow down your breathing. The stillness will nourish you.

In general, the idea is to reduce stagnation, balance your activity and move towards cultivating greater clarity. This is achieved through the above internal methods by learning to be still yet ‘still present’ in the world and it fosters a greater sense of kindness, discrimination and ease in how you live your life.

So that heaviness (tamas) and movement or intensity (rajas) is not something to eliminate as it is a natural rhythm of being human. It is something to notice and again and again balance. Healing comes with the awareness and that awareness can build a strength in your being to see with clarity and understanding. Try is and see how it affects you and if you need assistance we are always here with our classes in mindfulness, meditation and techniques to assist you to bring a quality of calmness and flow to your life. www.stressfreehealthmanagement.com

Why You Should Not Drink Coffee at Night

coffee on rustic table

Coffee is a daily ritual for millions of people around the world. In fact, caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive drug on the planet. While that morning cup can feel essential, drinking coffee too late in the day can seriously interfere with your sleep and throw off your body’s natural rhythm.

Scientists have long been fascinated by coffee and its effects on the brain. One major reason is its

impact on the body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm. This clock regulates biological patterns such as when we feel alert and when we feel sleepy. When caffeine enters the picture at the wrong time, that clock can be disrupted.

One study followed 12 participants and found that “caffeine consumed 0, 3, and 6 hours before bedtime diminished sleep quality.” Using sleep monitors, researchers measured total sleep time and sleep efficiency, which is the percentage of time spent asleep while in bed. The study showed that caffeine consumed even six hours before bedtime had significant negative effects on sleep.

Another research study found that drinking a double espresso just three hours before bedtime delayed the production of melatonin which is the hormone that helps signal to your body that it’s time to sleep. It delayed it by about 40 minutes. This delay makes it much harder to fall asleep, even if you feel tired.

What Happens When You Drink Coffee Too Late?

In order to understand why nighttime coffee causes such problems, it helps to look at what’s happening inside your body.

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and each one has its own circadian rhythm. Think of these rhythms like part of a tiny machine. Throughout the day, they work together to keep you alert. When evening approaches and the sun goes down, those parts begin to slow, preparing your body for rest.

Now imagine you’re out to dinner with friends in the evening and decide to order a coffee. While you’re enjoying the conversation, caffeine is quietly entering your system and as the coffee spreads through your body, it reaches each cell and wakes it back up. The parts of the machine that were slowing down suddenly speed up again. For the next few hours, your body behaves as if it’s still daytime so you are alert, energized, and focused.

Later that night, you get home, climb into bed, and expect to fall asleep but your cells aren’t ready. Even if you do manage to sleep, it’s unlikely to be deep or restoring sleep. Instead of waking up refreshed, you could feel groggy, unfocused, and tired the next morning.

The Caffeine Cycle

This is how many people fall into a cycle of poor sleep because caffeine disrupted your sleep the night before, so you wake up exhausted. So, to cope, you drink more coffee the next day. That extra caffeine can push your intake later into the afternoon or evening, once again interfering with sleep. Over time, this cycle can lead to chronic fatigue, reduced concentration, and an increasing dependence on caffeine just to get through the day.

it’s not that coffee is bad. If you have it earlier in the day, it can improve alertness, mood, and productivity. It’s all in the timing. If you want better sleep and more natural energy during the day, consider stopping caffeine intake in the afternoon or early evening. This gives your body time to wind down allowing your internal clock to function properly. Sometimes, the best way to feel more awake tomorrow is to skip that cup of coffee tonight.

Burnout – What is it and are you in danger of having it?

Burnout is a buzzword in recent years but it’s far more than feeling tired after a long week. Burnout is the result of ‘chronic workplace stress, followed by exhaustion, increased negativity, and reduced performance’. But its far more than that as and there is far more at risk than we think.

What are the symptoms of burnout?

Burnout can be filled with complex symptoms with everything from severe exhaustion, cognitive issues such as forgetfulness, trouble focusing, and difficulty retaining information to even a complete loss of passion for living. It doesn't just impact work and can contribute to anxiety, insomnia, and increased rates of depression. Physically, it can lower immunity.

So, is burnout depression?

Burnout and depression often look similar, but aren’t identical. Burnout feels more like helplessness and overwhelm, while depression is a feeling of no hope to carry on and no sense of fulfillment.

There are also biological differences as depression is usually linked to higher cortisol (the stress hormone) and burnout is linked to lower cortisol, meaning your stress response is blunted over time.

What are the signs you could be burnt out?

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. It creeps in slowly, and you may not notice the changes until you are overwhelmed. Typical signs include withdrawal from friendships, over worrying, low concentration, taking a longer time to finish tasks, unrefreshed sleep, feeling stuck, stagnation or diminished productivity

Who is at Risk?

Burnout can affect anyone, but studies show there are certain professions and personalities that are more vulnerable. These all seem to need huge amounts of concentration in a full-on job such as doctors and nurses, teachers, police, emergency workers and lawyers just to name a few professions.

The reason is that these fields tend to attract personalities that are perfectionist, conscientious and super reliable due to what is asked of them in their career. Nevertheless, there are many other people passionate in their field that are also at risk.

How does this impact employers?

Employers have a legal obligation to minimise work stress by managing high workloads, long hours, and unrealistic expectations. It is important to have an open dialogue with your staff and speak clearly if you notice early signs of something. Burnout can cost you many good employees if you are not alert and paying attention to your employee’s health and reactions.

How is burnout treated?

Burnout is treated by taking a proper break from the environment causing the issue. Addressing the concerns of your staff if you are a manager, self-care and therapy if it’s personally affecting you and learning new tools. These include lifestyle changes and returning to work with a better, healthier perspective and a feeling of renewal. Here at Stressfree Management® we assist individuals and companies to work on burnout and eliminate it from staff and individuals. We help make that shift to improve your health but it is up to you to take the first steps.

Talk to management about taking some time off, confide in a friend or call and make an appointment for a trusted professional to assist you in setting up future, realistic expectations of yourself. Also, we can assist you to begin a regular exercise routine, teach you meditation and mindfulness, help you with better food choices and help you get a good night’s sleep. We also have techniques we can teach you to let go of those past worries and intrusive thoughts.

Burnout is real, serious, and common but it’s also treatable. Recognise the signs early and take action. It can save your health, your career, and your wellbeing. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or like you’re losing your passion, it might be time to pause, reassess, and reach out for support. You deserve a career and a life that doesn’t burn you out.

Unlocking the Power Within: A Beginner’s Guide to Energy Healing

 


Discover how to restore balance, clear blockages, and awaken your body’s natural ability to heal.

In our fast-paced, stress-filled world, more and more people are seeking alternative ways to heal, realign, and recharge their lives. Among the growing number of holistic health practices, energy healing is capturing the attention of those looking for deeper connection - not just with their body, but with the subtle energy that flows within it.

Energy healing is a gentle yet powerful modality that works by activating the body's subtle energy systems. The goal? To remove energetic blockages that prevent us from feeling our best. These blockages can be caused by stress, trauma, unresolved emotions, or even limiting beliefs -anything that disrupts the natural flow of energy through the body.

What is Energy Healing, really?

At its core, energy healing is based on the belief that our bodies are designed to heal themselves. But sometimes, the flow of energy - also called life force, chi, or prana - becomes stagnant or imbalanced. When this happens, it can lead to physical or emotional discomfort. By clearing these energetic blocks, we can restore balance and encourage the body’s innate ability to heal.

Many people are surprised to learn that energy healing is not some new-age trend. In fact, it’s rooted in ancient traditions across cultures - from the chakras in Hindu philosophy, to Qi and meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to Reiki, a Japanese technique that channels energy through the hands to support healing.

Science Meets Spirituality

While energy healing is often associated with spiritual or metaphysical practices, it’s grounded in scientific principles as well. Everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of vibrating particles. Even solid objects, like your chair or your phone, are in constant motion at the microscopic level. Energy healing works with the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and experiences also carry vibrations that affect our well-being.

Have you ever walked into a room and “felt” tension - or felt uplifted by someone’s “good vibes”? That’s energy. High-vibration emotions like love, joy, and gratitude support healing. Low-vibration states like fear, anger, or grief can weigh us down. Energy healing seeks to raise your vibration and create harmony between body, mind and spirit.

Anyone Can Experience the Benefits

You don’t have to be spiritual or even believe in energy work to experience its benefits. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, or just "off," energy healing can help you feel grounded and more in tune with yourself.

People who regularly practice energy healing often report feeling more relaxed, emotionally clear, and even physically better. It's particularly helpful for stress relief, emotional release, sleep support, and improving overall mental wellness.

And the best part? It’s accessible to everyone.

You Can Practice It at Home

While many people seek professional practitioners for modalities like Reiki, sound healing, or acupuncture, energy healing can also be practiced easily at home. It can be as simple as:

  • Meditating with intention to clear your energy.
  • Using breathwork to calm your nervous system.
  • Taking a salt bath with Himalayan or Epsom salts to cleanse energetic residue.
  • Balancing your chakras through guided visualization or sound frequencies.
  • Journaling or practicing gratitude to shift your emotional vibration.

Like brushing your teeth or exercising, energy healing can become a daily self-care ritual. A few minutes of mindful connection each day can help you feel more centred and present in your life.

Ready to Explore Energy Healing?

If you’re curious, open-minded, and ready to feel more balanced, energy healing might be the perfect addition to your wellness journey. Whether you're looking to clear emotional baggage, calm your nervous system, or simply reconnect with yourself, this ancient yet modern practice invites you to tap into your body’s natural intelligence and unlock the healing power within.

Start small. Stay consistent. Trust the process.

Your energy knows the way - sometimes you just need to clear the path.

Good Nutrition for Bone Health in Seniors




Bone health is important especially for seniors and as we age. Healthy bones are essential for staying mobile, independent, and reducing the risk of fractures. Unfortunately, many older adults are affected by poor bone health or osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones weak and more likely to break.

What Causes Poor Bone Health?

There isn’t just one cause of weakened bones. A number of factors can contribute, including:

  • Lifestyle habits, such as smoking, lack of exercise, or a diet low in calcium and vitamin D
  • Medical conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, or thyroid issues
  • Medications, such as corticosteroids or certain cancer treatmentsThese risk factors can vary from person to person, which is why it’s essential to discuss any concerns with your naturopath and nutritionist as well as your doctor. Identifying risks early can help guide prevention and put treatment strategies in place.

Eating for Stronger Bones

One of the most effective ways to support bone health is through proper nutrition, especially increasing your calcium intake. Calcium is a key mineral that keeps bones dense and strong. Fortunately, it’s easy to add more calcium-rich foods to your daily meals.

Calcium-Rich Food Sources

Here are some examples of foods high in calcium:

  • Dairy: Milk, cheese, and yogurt
  • Seafood: Sardines, salmon (with bones), trout, snapper, prawns

  • Vegetables: Kale, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, broccoli, silver beet
  • Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds, tahini
  • Fruits: Oranges, figs, strawberries, kiwi, dates
  • Other Foods: Calcium-set tofu, chickpeas, soybeans, eggs
  • Meat: Pork, chicken

The recommended daily calcium intake for adults varies depending on your sex, age and health factors as well as your level of ability to absorb. This is why you need to discuss this with your naturopath or nutritionist.

Simple Ways to Boost Calcium

Here are some easy ways to work more calcium into your daily routine:

  • Start your day with a smoothie made with yogurt or milk – if you don’t have high cholesterol or lactose intolerance.
  • Add leafy greens to soups, stir-fries, and omelettes but watch this if you have a thyroid issue for the leafy greens.
  • Enjoy a dairy-based dessert like custard or ricotta with fruit – again if not lactose intolerant or you can always use lactose free ingredients.
  • Include seafood dinners, such as canned sardines or grilled salmon
  • Snack smart with a mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits – watch the nuts if you have diverticulitis as nuts a not good for this.

Why Vitamin D Matters

Calcium alone isn’t enough as it is not absorbed as well without vitamin. Without enough vitamin D, even a calcium-rich diet won’t fully benefit your bones.

Vitamin D is naturally produced when your skin is exposed to sunlight, so getting some safe sun exposure each day can help. However, some people may still be at risk of deficiency—particularly those who spend most of their time indoors, have darker skin, or use sunscreen regularly. Take care not to use chemical sunscreens.

Moving Your Bones: Exercise for Bone Strength

Nutrition is only part of the picture. Exercise is another key player in maintaining healthy bones as we age. The right kinds of physical activity can help improve bone strength, balance, and muscle function reducing the risk of falls and fractures.

Recommended Types of Exercise

  • Balance exercises: Improve coordination and reduce fall risk (e.g., Tai Chi, standing on one leg)
  • Resistance training: Builds strength using weights or resistance bands; can be done at home or in a gym
  • Weight-bearing exercise: Involves activities done on your feet where your body works against gravity (e.g., walking, dancing, stair climbing, tennis)

For those people already diagnosed with osteoporosis, a supervised exercise program is highly recommended. An exercise physiologist or physiotherapist can develop a safe, tailored plan that takes into account other conditions like arthritis or past injuries.

Have You Broken a Bone Recently?

If you’re over 50 and have fractured a bone even from a minor fall—it’s important to speak with your doctor. This could be a sign of underlying osteoporosis. Many people dismiss such fractures as "just bad luck," but they may be early warning signs.

According to the Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry, nearly half of all people who suffer a hip fracture have had a previous fracture. Common fracture sites include the wrist, spine, ribs, and hip.

Getting a bone density test and early diagnosis can lead to treatments that protect you from further fractures and maintain your quality of life.

Remember that good bone health starts with awareness and proactive habits. By eating a calcium-rich diet, ensuring you have enough vitamin D, and staying active with the right types of exercise, you can help your bones stay strong and healthy well into your senior years.

If you want to keep your bones healthier consult us and we can make up a health plan to suit your needs. We can also test for inflammation and assist you if you are having pain or arthritis. You can find us at www.stressfreehealthmanagement.com

The Benefits of Spirulina to alkalise your body

 


Spirulina is a powerful superfood which is a type of cyanobacteria although it is called blue-green algae. This organism is packed with essential nutrients, antioxidants, and plant-based protein, making it a popular supplement for people looking to boost their overall health.

Rich in nutrients and vitamins

Spirulina has an impressive nutritional profile. Just one tablespoon contains:

  • 4 grams of protein
  • 11% of the RDA of Vitamin B1
  • 15% of the RDA of Vitamin B2
  • 4% of the RDA of Vitamin B3
  • 21% of the RDA of copper
  • 11% of the RDA of iron

It’s also a good source of magnesium, potassium, and manganese—minerals that play key roles in everything from muscle function to heart health and bone strength.

Since spirulina offers so many vital nutrients in one small serving, it’s considered a true “superfood.” While you can get these nutrients from various other foods, spirulina provides a concentrated dose that’s hard to match.

A great source of plant protein

Spirulina is rich in protein, with around 55–70% of its content made up of high-quality, easily digestible protein. This makes it a fantastic option for those on vegetarian or vegan diets, particularly because it also contains iron and B12—nutrients that can sometimes be hard to find in plant-based eating.

A powerful antioxidant

Spirulina is more than just nutritious—it’s also a powerful antioxidant. The key compound responsible is called phycocyanin, which gives spirulina its bright blue-green colour and helps fight oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can harm cells and contribute to aging and disease, so getting more antioxidants in your diet is always a good idea.

Phycocyanin can even help protect LDL (“bad”) cholesterol from damage, supporting overall heart health.

Good heart health support

Spirulina has been shown to positively impact cholesterol levels. In one study, people who took 1 gram of spirulina daily for 12 weeks saw a 10% drop in LDL and a 16% decrease in triglycerides. Higher doses have also been linked to reduced blood pressure, thanks to improved nitric oxide production, which helps blood vessels relax and improves circulation.

For blood sugar balance and allergy relief

Emerging research also suggests spirulina may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, particularly in people with Type 2 diabetes. Plus, if you suffer from seasonal allergies, spirulina might offer some relief by reducing inflammation and easing symptoms like sneezing and nasal congestion.

Boost your strength and endurance

Early studies show that spirulina may also enhance muscle strength and endurance, especially in older adults. While more research is needed, this could make spirulina an excellent supplement for athletes or anyone looking to stay active as they age.

How to add Spirulina to your diet

Spirulina is usually grown in natural or man-made lakes and is harvested, then dried into powder or compressed into tablets. You can mix the powder into smoothies, juices, or even baked goods. It has a strong earthy taste which you can mix with other flavours if you like.

Spirulina’s nutrient-dense, antioxidant-richness can support all levels of your health. If you are looking to boost your health routine and need assistance on how to do this, with some unique ideas on how to get healthy give us a call or message at our natural health clinic in Greystanes for a free 15 minute discovery session. We can help you in clinic or online. Only available until end of September in celebration of Father’s Day. Check us out at www.stressfreehealthmanagement.com

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) can help you live longer – so the research says


 

Everyone should know by now how important a healthy diet is to support long-term health. Scientific reports suggest that one humble micronutrient — vitamin B3, also known as niacin may play a surprisingly powerful role in reducing the risk of death from all causes, including cardiovascular disease.

Why is niacin so important and what is it?

Niacin is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a vital role in converting food into energy and supporting cellular health. It also helps maintain skin, nerve function, and cholesterol levels. Severe niacin deficiency can cause pellagra, a potentially fatal disease marked by dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia.

Fortunately, most people in Western countries get plenty of niacin through common foods like: tuna, salmon, turkey, chicken, beef, peanuts. In fact, in the United States, average niacin intake is often three times higher than the recommended daily allowance as food is fortified with vitamin B.

What was the Scientific study on vitamin B?

Researchers analysed data from over 26,000 U.S. adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2018. Participants were grouped based on their dietary niacin intake and followed for a median of 9.17 years.

Over the study period: 3,551 participants died, including 1,096 from cardiovascular causes. It showed that higher niacin intake was consistently associated with lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and that the benefits plateaued beyond 22.45 mg/day of niacin intake, suggesting that more could be unnecessary.

Why does niacin reduce mortality risk?

Researchers proposed several reasons:

  • Improved cellular metabolism: Niacin boosts levels of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a compound essential for mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and reducing oxidative stress.
  • Anti-aging effects: By improving NAD metabolism, niacin may help delay cell aging and reduce inflammation.
  • Heart health: Niacin is known to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol, improving the overall lipid profile.

It may also support muscle health and energy metabolism, particularly in conditions like mitochondrial myopathy and chemotherapy-related muscle loss.

How did the benefits vary?

Interestingly, the study found that the mortality-reducing effects of niacin were more pronounced in non-diabetic individuals. This finding aligns with earlier research suggesting niacin can raise blood glucose levels and decrease insulin sensitivity, potentially worsening outcomes for people with diabetes.

Subgroup analyses showed that older adults, women, non-Hispanic Caucasian population, and those without underlying health conditions (like diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease) seemed to benefit the most from higher niacin intake.

Why is it so important to take Niacin supplements?

While niacin supplements can help in specific medical scenarios (especially for managing cholesterol), high doses can cause: flushing skin, increased blood sugar and possible gastric issues BUT high doses involve taking an over the top number of supplements which normally a person would not do. Remember that there is NO VITAMIN B that is ever STORED in the body. The only vitamin stored in the body is Vitamin A. So, if you follow the advice of your naturopath or nutritionist you should have no problems.

Also, a balanced diet rich in niacin-containing foods is a safe and effective way to support long-term health as long as you are eating organic vegetables and fruit since so much of our foods have been sprayed with pesticides and other junk that denatures it.

Niacin plays such a critical role in energy metabolism, cell health, and lipid regulation it cannot be overlooked. This study adds to growing evidence that micronutrients matter — not just for preventing deficiencies, but for optimizing long-term health. As science continues to uncover how vitamins like niacin influence aging and disease, one thing remains clear: nourishing your body with a diverse, nutrient-rich diet may be one of the most powerful steps you can take toward a longer, healthier life.

How can this help you?

If you are tired, run down, low immunity or unhealthy the only way to get healthy is to take supplements under the care of a trained natural practitioner. Remember natural practitioners are the specialists in natural products. Also remember that when you have a headache whilst the pain killer may get rid of the headache the CAUSE of the headache is not a deficiency in pain killer. It is a deficiency of some vitamin or other nutrient in your body or something in your lifestyle. That is why often a whole host of drugs do not work to get you healthy.
