Last week we looked at some chronic conditions that have an inflammatory component and what we could be doing that might be causing or adding to the inflammation, so logically if we remove or reduce those things we can decrease the inflammation.
This week let’s look at what can we do to actively help reduce inflammation? There are a number of products on the market aimed at just this, but let’s start with what you can add to your diet and lifestyle to improve your condition. This will obviously differ from one person to the next so choose the ideas you can include in your life, don’t focus on the ones you can’t. Anti-inflammatory Foods
Lifestyle
Supplements
The main thing here is to make changes, at your pace, to meet your needs. If you have not been having success on your own I would advise making an appointment with a good therapist you trust. As I always say, we are all individual and what works for one may not work for everyone, natural medicine is all about finding the root cause and treating the person individually. Watch out next week for my anti-inflammatory recipe!

When we stop and think, most of our modern chronic illnesses have an inflammatory issue attached. If we don’t have an inflammatory disease we definitely know someone who does.
These are just a few examples:
This week, I’m going to focus on what increases inflammation in the body. The things we might be doing daily without fully realising the damage they are doing. There are so many things in our modern life that can cause inflammation, that’s probably why we are seeing so many people with inflammatory disorders. Here are some things you can try to avoid or reduce, that can cause your inflammatory symptoms: Foods
Lifestyle
The great thing is that some small changes, some you would hardly notice, can make a big difference. I have seen the reversal of inflammatory issues, over and over again, when the person decides it’s worth making the changes. Look out for next weeks article where I’ll look at what you can do to reduce inflammation.

Things like:
So this might seem like where is she going with this? Have you ever noticed that someone who
Do you see where I'm going with this? If you want to do something different, to get different results, you have to make that thing important, enough that you will make time for it and not see it as something that is draining your time further. It's all a matter of mindset. So, this week I want you to make a list each day of where your time is spent. Notice what you do daily, what is vital and what is procrastination or time you could take back. Don’t fill every minute of your waking day with tasks, but make sure that you are including aspects of work, rest and play in your daily routine. Lastly, think back to December 31st 2022, if you made a resolution that you thought would improve your life this year, what was it and did you do it? If time was a factor or it just wasn’t made important enough now is the chance to rethink it. Is there something draining time from your life that you could drop and make time for something to improve it?

Noteworthy Individual Cool as …. Outstanding Remarkable Needed Spectacular Have you ever looked at a young baby and noticed personality traits coming through, a certain smile, good sleeper, anxious, chilled out? I know I have, I find it fascinating that even at such a young age some of our traits are already fixed. Do you struggle with things that others find so easy? Do you get frustrated when someone behaves in a way that consistently annoys you? Personally I think we all do. Different things drive us, feed us, nourish us and if we follow the crowd we will never know what a Unicorn we really are (how special and unique we are). I have always worked with 5 Bodytypes, each type is based on their dominant hormone type, each type has particular physical, emotional and mental traits. Each one has a way to eat, exercise and rest that will suit them best. The fascinating thing is we can tell these Bodytypes from an early age and understanding them not only helps you understand what works best for you but also why those around you might need or why they might behave in a certain way. There are many systems used to help us understand our strengths – Bodytypes, Enneagrams, The four humours, Doshas, TCM constitutions. Each ancient medicine had a way of dividing us into categories to help give the best advice for the individual. We live in a world where we are constantly being told how we should do everything, a world that often doesn’t acknowledge the strength of the individual. So this week Write a list of things that make you special, from the big to the small. What sets you apart from the crowd?
