Thank you for being interested in who I am. I am passionate about tissue salts, Aura-Soma and astrology, and this keeps me constantly interested in life. You can read all about most of that on the rest of the website. Besides my business profile, I have a personal life and many other interests!
I was born in South Africa and, after completing high school, spent a year as an exchange student in Brookville PA and graduated with the class of 1979. I returned and trained at Johannesburg Hospital as a radiographer, and graduated in 1982, the same year I got married to my husband Andy. We moved to Cape Town, where we have been blessed with two children and wonderful friends.
My life journey changed direction when I fell ill with hepatitis in 1993, and 9 months later my energy had still not returned. Tissue Salts and Aura-Soma Colour fell into the path of synchronicities at the time and transformed my life.
I enjoy keeping fit by training in the gym and cycling, love walks in nature, moon gardening in my permaculture veggie patch and keeping free range chickens for organic eggs. I read a lot, these days mostly about archetypes in myth and legends, ancient history and civilizations – novels that include these elements are my favourite. I am fortunate to travel in sharing my work, and this has taken me on some amazing adventures meeting wonderful friends in special and sacred lands on the planet.
I support the work of the Global White Lion Protection Trust, which brings many elements of my interests together in an incredible cultural and environmental conservation model based in the Timbavati, which derives from the ancient Tsonga words ‘Tsimba’ meaning Lions, ‘Vaati’ meaning ‘of the stars’. The Trust is not just about saving the lions, but an African tradition. Their work extends into the well-being of the local communities surrounding the project, and thus addresses the balance of nature between humans, animals and the environment. I am blessed to have connected with the Star Lions of South Africa and hope that some day you may experience it too.
Dear Alison, My grandson (3 years old)seems to often pick up colds and flu. My impression is that his immune system needs to be strengthened. Can this be done with tissue salts and, if so, which salts and how often.
Will appreciate your advice. Sincerely, Irene
Dear Irene
Thank you for your enquiry. Certainly tissue salts can help and your query comes when we have just launched our Immuno Synergy blend of tissue salts for just this purpose. If he is prone to colds and flu, I would suggest you maintain with 1 tablet twice a day when he is symptom-free for a while; and if he starts to show signs of a cold to use them much more frequently – as often as 1 tablet every 20 minutes or so until it shifts. Generally Ferrum Phos is the main defender of the immune system, and is contained therein together with other salts that strengthen the mucous membranes and deal with the sniffles.
With children, one often gets the ‘glazed donut’ type of mucus, before a cold sets in fully, and that calls for Calc Phos. Calc Phos is a great tonic anyway for growing children, and it wouldn’t harm to let him have 1 of these a day when he is well, increasing the dose if he gets the egg-whitish glazed mucus in the same way as described above. It should definitely be used if he is prone to tonsillitis.
I have feedback from a client who reports the family being much healthier by following the tissue salts with the lunar calendar; this is another way of working in the long term. You can read a bit of feedback about that here . This type of supplementation takes a bit of commitment to the salts, as you would use each salt for approximately 2-3 days in the course of a month. What it does is refresh the entire body with its needs for the minerals in a logical biochemic cycle.
You would probably find it easier to start with the Immuno Synergy and Calc Phos though, if your family aren’t familiar with the use of tissue salts.
Wishing you all the best
Alison
