Telehealth consultations – bringing natural healthcare into your home

P5290005.00_00_17_50.Still008Telehealth consultations can break down the barrier to accessing quality naturopathic care, bringing personalised, comprehensive natural medicine directly to you.

Consultations via zoom or phone, provide the similar thorough, holistic approach you’d receive in person. We can start with a thorough health review, implementing wholistic and medical assessment, and developing targeted natural treatments.

I am passionate about lifestyle medicines, which can be tailored during consultation. Herbal and nutritional medicines are dispensed directly from our quality dispensary and mailed to your home. Follow-up support and consultations can then be easily arranged through our reception.

“Working with Jacqui has been a truly transformative experience. Her holistic approach, deep expertise, and genuine care made a remarkable difference in my health and well-being. Even living out of the area, I was able to continue monthly phone consultations after my initial visit. I began noticing results within weeks, and my health continues to improve every day. I highly recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for a natural, personalised path to better health.”

I welcome you to book a consultation today – whether for yourself or to support the health journey of family and friends.

How to deal with WARTS in kids

warts logo_2020

Back to school health check for kids includes a healthy skin check – Warts are a viral infection which is a harmless yet common annoyance that can occur on any part of the skin, often seen on the hands. Since they can spread via touch, parents and educators are interested in anything that can be done to help kids recover from warts.

These are the proactive strategies for Warts using Naturopathic medicine which is

Safe, Natural and Effective

  • Palatable herbal medicines are anti-viral against the virus that causes warts
  • Natural Medicines can stimulate the immune system to help fight the virus
  • Anti-viral herbal cream can be applied to warts directly as part of a treatment plan

Contact Moruya Natural Therapies to make an appointment with a Naturopath to treat your child’s warts.

#TIP    The Royal Children’s hospital has a great fact sheet on childhood warts. They suggest that waterproof tape (duct tape) can be used to prevent spread of the virus.

Bitter salad greens

Tasty leaves like rocket laced in olive oil and balsamic or apple cider vinegar can turn a standard dinner into a fresh feast! The bitterness of the leaves stimulate the vagal nerve in the mouth to turn on the juices of digestion for optimal food breakdown and excretion. Part of this response is to stimulates liver enzymes which are needed for cholesterol managment.

Many people may need therapeutic levels of liver support from herbs such as St Mary’s thistle and Globe artichoke to manage cholesterol levels alongside a health food and physical activity plan.
