🌿 My Healing Morning: A Story of Taking My Power Back
There’s something quietly powerful about a morning when you decide…
Today, I’m going to take care of myself differently.
Not perfectly.
Not rigidly.
But consciously.
And that’s where I find myself right now, on a healing journey that feels messy, experimental, hopeful… and, if I’m honest, a little bit rebellious.
✨ How It Started…
My body has always been a little… fiery.
Inflammation has been a theme running through my life, skin, immune system, and more recently, my eyes. What began as uveitis (inflammation inside the eye) has led to secondary glaucoma, where pressure builds in the eye and threatens vision.
The treatment pathway?
Steroids to reduce inflammation…
Which then increase eye pressure…
Which then requires more intervention…
It’s a cycle that, for me, hasn’t felt like healing. It’s felt like managing symptoms while my body quietly struggles underneath it all.
And when surgery was suggested, a tube in my eye, a plate on my eyeball, I had a moment.
Not a dramatic one.
A quiet, internal “there must be another way for me.”
A Different Path
So I made a decision.
Not to reject medical support, but to step into my own healing more fully.
To explore what my body might do if I gave it the right environment.
And that’s where my mornings began to change.
Here is my morning Ritual (A Little Bit Science, A Little Bit Magic)
My day starts with what I now affectionately call my “blue potion.”
Filtered water, fresh lemon, and a drop of methylene blue, something I’ve found supports energy, focus, and cellular function. It feels like a signal to my body:
We’re doing things differently now.
Then comes the stack of support, vitamins, minerals, botanicals.
Not in a frantic, “fix me” kind of way…
But in a steady, “let’s nourish what’s already trying to heal.”
B vitamins for energy and inflammation
Vitamin D3 with K2 (because, let’s face it, we live in the UK ☁️ and I'm in need of extra sunshine)
Nicotinamide (B3) for eye and cellular health
Eye support blends with lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, and pine bark
Omega oils (shared, of course, with my little sidekick 🐾 who is very invested in this routine)
Botanical blends for hormones, mood, and that perimenopausal rollercoaster
Nitric oxide support (hello beetroot magic) for circulation and repair
Iodine, lysine, vitamin A, each one with its own role in calming, repairing, supporting
It sounds like a lot…
And maybe it is.
But it’s become less about the pills, and more about the intention behind them.
🐾 The Little Moments Matter Too
In the middle of all of this, there’s my dog, waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for his cod liver oil.
A paw raised.
A hopeful look.
A little moment of joy.
And I think that’s part of healing too.
Not just what we take…
But what we feel.
💛 The Bigger Picture
Alongside the supplements, I’ve been weaving in:
Self-hypnosis and deeper subconscious work
Gentle movement, walking, yoga
Cacao rituals (my favourite part, if I’m honest)
Peptides and exploring new research
And soon… homeopathy
It’s not one thing.
It’s the combination.
The layering.
The listening.
🌿 What I’m Noticing (Four Weeks In)
Something is shifting.
Not overnight.
Not dramatically.
But noticeably.
My energy is coming back
My blood pressure has settled (it was crazy hight)
My hair has slowed its shedding (it was falling out)
My skin is beginning to heal
And my vision…
This is the one that feels most emotional.
Where there was once only grey, there is now coloured blur.
And that might not sound like much.
But to me?
Blur is progress.
Blur is possibility.
Blur is hope.
What Comes Next
This week, I’m gently moving into a sugar detox (wish me luck 😅)
And beginning to explore homeopathy alongside everything else.
No pressure.
No perfection.
Just curiosity… and commitment.
🌟 Final Thoughts
I don’t have all the answers.
And I’m not claiming this is the way.
But this is my way right now.
A way that feels empowering.
A way that feels aligned.
A way that reminds me that healing isn’t just something that happens to us…
It’s something we can participate in.
If you’re on your own journey, whatever that looks like
just know this:
You’re allowed to explore.
You’re allowed to question.
You’re allowed to take your power back, gently… in your own way.
