Healing After Surgery and Anaesthesia Surgery is a significant physical stress on the body. It creates inflammation, bruising, and places extra demands on multiple systems, particularly the nervous system, liver, digestive tract, and immune system. Anaesthetic medications, while essential, can temporarily slow detoxification pathways, digestion, and bowel function. Anaesthetic support focusses on supporting immunity, gut […]

Sebaceous cysts are small, movable lumps that form just under the skin, typically painless and slow-growing. They are encapsulated sacs containing sebum (skin oil) and keratin (dead skin cells and proteins). While usually harmless, sebaceous cysts can become infected, causing inflammation, tenderness, and a foul-smelling discharge. These cysts often develop from blocked sebaceous (oil) glands, […]

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used for centuries as a traditional remedy to support digestion, metabolism, and general health. While it tastes acidic, apple cider vinegar has a paradoxical alkalising effect in the body once metabolised. When used correctly, it can help improve digestive efficiency, regulate pH balance, support skin health, and enhance detoxification […]

Liver inflammation is a common yet often overlooked health issue that can significantly affect energy levels, digestion, hormone balance, and overall wellbeing. It is typically identified through blood tests showing elevated liver enzymes, which indicate irritation, congestion, or damage to liver cells. Left unaddressed, chronic liver inflammation can progress to fatty liver disease, fibrosis, or […]

Boils (also called furuncles) are pus-filled skin abscesses that begin in the hair follicles of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). As the infection progresses, it can spread into the deeper layers of skin, becoming painful, swollen, red, and inflamed. The pus inside a boil is made up of dead white blood cells and […]

Fungal skin infections are common, often itchy conditions caused by an overgrowth of fungi on the surface of the skin. Well-known examples include athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. These infections thrive in warm, moist environments and are easily spread through skin contact, shared surfaces, or contaminated clothing. In otherwise healthy people, fungal infections usually […]

Yeast is a naturally occurring single-celled organism that thrives in environments with warmth, moisture, and a food source. It feeds primarily on sugars and starches, converting them through fermentation into carbon dioxide and alcohol. It is widely used in food production and are also found naturally in some foods. Importantly, not all act the same way […]
