Guest Blog: Turmeric and Fish Oil: An Anti-Inflammatory Match Made in Heaven?

March 7, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

What follows is a guest blog by Water for Health. As someone who came through rheumatoid arthritis naturally, clean, filtered water, turmeric and fish oils were all things that contributed greatly to my remission, but their quality is of paramount concern – you can’t just get any old supplements – which is why I was…

Why I’m Steaming My Vagina – And Why I Want You To Do The Same!

January 23, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

My girlfriends and I have a Whatsapp group, whereby around 50% of the conversations involve them laughing at my “crunchy, new age” ways – in a totally supportive way, I might add. So it was only fitting that just before partaking in my first vaginal steam (we have always been very open about our menstruation,…

Menstrual Cups – Why I’m Obsessed

June 7, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Menstruation. Periods. Blood. There, I’ve said it. Now let’s all get over ourselves and acknowledge that the blood that is released every month from a woman’s ovaries is what enables her to have children; it is what has kept our species alive. So why are we all so grossed out by periods? Perhaps it is…

How The Media Are Gearing Us Up For Traumatic Birth Experiences

June 5, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I happen to be one of the five people left in the UK who still watches Home & Away (what can I say, guilty pleasure), and whilst watching an episode last week where one of the characters goes into labour, I got really angry. During the hypnobirthing course my husband and I did before having…

By Removing Sugary Drinks From Hospital Shops We Are Simply Masking A Bigger Problem

May 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Here they are again, this government of ours, rambling on about increasing tax on sugary drinks and removing them from hospital shops. Don’t they realise they’ve missed the point? When Jamie Oliver set about to change our diets for the better, he started in schools. Why? Because quite frankly, it’s no good aiming this information…

MTHFR – The Gene Mutation That Could Damage Your Unborn Baby

May 21, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

I owe a lot to my pregnancy, it revealed the final missing piece in my perennial search for answers to questions about my health and for that I am eternally grateful. I should be even more grateful, though, to Jessica, a lady in Florida who told me about the gene mutation, MTHFR. If you are pregnant,…
