In part one of Sweat I looked at what causes body odour (BO) and how to manage it. In part two I put three natural deodorants to the test. Do natural deodorants work? The most used products to combat BO are antiperspirants and deodorants. While antiperspirants are very...

Also known as pot stickers, these Japanese dumplings are easy to prepare and make an impressive entrée or snack. In this version, the star ingredient is shitake mushroom but that can easily be replaced by other vegetables, prawns or meat. I’ve created other versions using green...

As we head towards the end of the September, spring has truly arrived. With it, I notice my energy has been on a roller coaster ride, from the highs of the Australian Naturopathic Summit, to the frustrations of too many mornings being woken at dawn by a cat who has more than a...

Trigger warning: this article talks about suicide. How often has someone asked you how you are, without stopping or looking you in the eye? A cursory greeting like this implies that this is not a serious question and there’s not time or bandwidth for a negative...

If you’re feeling a surge in energy with the coming of spring, you’re not alone. Our body is conditioned to react to the subtle increase in daylight at this time of year. For some people this makes us feel quite elated. For others, it’s more akin to jet lag. Much of this...

Comments : 0

Admittedly this is my first foray into cooking okra. But I was inspired by a delicious curry that I ate in Penang. Cautious to not overcook, I quickly pan fried it first, only adding it back to the sauce to heat through before serving. If you like your okra soft, skip the first...

Comments : 0

The tawny frogmouth is nesting in the neighbour’s backyard again. Some nights just as I’m drifting off to sleep comes a low rhythmic sound, like a pump of some kind. When I used to think the noise was mechanical, my annoyance could keep me awake. But ever since I discovered it’s...
