Much of the herbalist's skill lies in knowing the actions of different plant remedies on specific body systems. Herbalists consider that the use of parts of the whole plant s more effective than isolated synthetically made drugs, the former which product little or no side effects.
Herbal remedies are extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, rhizomes, and whole plants.
Herbal remedies have been scientifically shown to have significant effect on most human ailments.

Homeopathy [TOP]
A system of medicine based on the theory that "like curses like". A substance that causes symptoms of illness in a healthy person can in minute doses treat the same symptoms in someone who is ill.
The body is integrated by a vital force that maintains it in a state of health. If this force is put under long-term strain, illness can result. Symptoms of illness, when they appear, are a sign the body is using its natural powers of self-healing to fight back. Homeopathic treatment seeks to stimulate the body's self-healing process rather than suppress symptoms.
Remedies are chosen to stimulate the vital force, along with consideration of each individual's specific physical, emotional and mental symptoms.
Full range of Homeopathic remedies available.

Single Homeopathic Remedies - 15ml - $10.00 | 25ml - $15.00 | Pilules - $15.00

Nutrition and Weight Loss [TOP]
As the quality of our soil (and hence our food) diminishes the body is getting less nutritional vitamins, minerals and enzymes to support our increasing needs as our lifestyle becomes more and more demanding.
Together with this, our adsorption and assimilation of nutrients are compromised due to multiple food allergies, effect of some antibiotics, stress and other factors.
Clinical Nutrition helps to overcome this by putting together a diet individually tailored to meet your requirements as well as supplementing with specific nutrients, which the body needs.
Many illnesses use up specific nutrients and these nutrients need to be replaced. This requires a broad knowledge of the mechanism of disease.

Flower Essences [TOP]
The use of Flower essences is very old. Aborigines of Australia would eat the whole flower while the dew was still wet on it and potent from the sun to obtain its healing properties. Not only did they attain the nutrient properties, but the essence of its inherent qualities were captured. If inedible they would sit and absorb the healing vibration from the flower.
Other cultures such as Malay, Egyptian and African have used flowers to treat emotional states and imbalances. In Europe, in the 16th Century, it has been recorded that Paracelsus collected the dew from flowers to treat his patients’ emotional imbalances.
Dr Edward Bach was the first modern healer to bring back the use of the healing properties of flowers. He developed many remedies from the English countryside and wrote about their unique properties. After sixty years his remedies are still in use and they have become very popular among natural health practitioners for emotional disturbances, and many feelings of imbalance in our everyday lives. They are known as the BACH Remedies and Rescue Remedy is probably the most well known. The complete set is available at Lightstream Health Clinic.
In the 80s and 90s an Australian Naturopath, Ian White, developed a large range of flower essences from the Australian bush. They address many of the issues that are prevalent today such as creativity, sexuality, learning skills, communication and spirituality that were not evident during Dr Bach’s era.
Emergency essence, Cognis essence and Relationship essence, for example, combinations which have become popular with people who need to think clearly for exams or who are going through a rough patch in their relationship; or they need protection from outside forces, a combination of grey spider flower and fringed violet will do the trick. A complete range of Australian Bush Flower Essences, which are particularly powerful and resonate well with those living in this country are available at Lightstream and can be made up for any emotional problems or difficulties.
