I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful days of Spring. I’ve finished up my final days in Morocco this season – I’d love to share with you some beautiful natural home remedies that helped me so much during my time in North Africa. I hope they can help you too.
My journey this year continues to Italy, the country that never fails to help me fall in love over and over again with life! Here I’ll be doing some Yin training with Sarah Powers and my annual Ischia retreat from 18-25 May. 2 last minute spaces have just opened up!!! It’s £600 for a private room or £500 sharing – more information here. If you’re quick, there’s a few spots left for Ibiza 14-19 June and Cornwall (dates 5-7 July/ 23-25 Aug/ 6-8 Sept) luxury glamping mini-retreats. Please head over to the retreats section of my website for all the details.
See you on the mat soon!
Love, light & blessings

Since January 2018, I’ve spent close to one year in total in Morocco. As a huge fan of alternative medicine myself I’ve been inspired by the local natural remedies I’ve learned from local friends during my time here. Thank you to all of them for sharing the below with me. They have helped me so much and definitely beat taking Western chemicals medicines. I hope they offer the same healing for you.
Please note I am in no way medically trained. The following are based on local knowledge, my own knowledge and experience and are intended to empower you to try natural remedies versus pharmaceutical drugs for home remedies, if so inclined.
Stomach Upset
Cold Water plus Cumin
Wash your hands under the coldest water possible or hold a few ice cubes for a few moments. Place your cold hands straight onto the area of discomfort in your belly.
Breathe deep. Stay here until your hands begin to warm up from your natural body temperature.
Next, eat 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds or ground cumin followed by a small glass of room temperature water. If you prefer you can mix the cumin into the water and drink.
Swollen glands and sore throat
Liquourice
It might not be possible where you are to find liquorice in this form but if possible source a liquorice stick/bark.
Peel the outer layer and begin to chew on the inside. Do not eat the bark but swallow down your saliva created by chewing and sucking on the liquorice. Try to direct the saliva and swallowing to the sore throat area and glands.
I found the pain relief to be almost instant.
Headache
Oregano Tea
Boil water. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of the highest quality Oregano (dried or fresh) that you can source. Brew for 3 minutes. Pour and sip slowly with presence and awareness to gently soothe the headache away.
I’m delighted to share with you this FREE guided relaxation Yoga Nidra Meditation inspired by my recent trip to the stunning Sahara Desert. I hope it transports you to a place of deep rest and calm. Please get luxuriously comfy and press play!
I love incorporating Yoga Nidra meditations into all of my Yoga with Catherine retreats. After more dynamic yoga asana practice they are the perfect way to calm the nervous system, reduce stress levels and increase energy in the body. They allow deep healing to occur. Take a look at my retreats below so see where you can enjoy your next blissful Yoga Nidra.

Welcome to your Yoga Nidra practice. This yoga nidra is inspired rolling dessert dunes of the Sahara Desert under a million and one twinkling stars. It’s here that I invite you to come on a journey with me into yoga nidra or yogic “sleep”. Consider this time together a power nap to reset your body and mind into it’s best state of peace, calm, release, rejuvenation and ease.
Please make sure you are somewhere deeply comfortable, lying down and where you won’t be disturbed for the next 20 minutes.
Know that you can use and repeat this practice anytime to calm your nervous system, reduce your stress levels and energise your body. In the parasympathetic ‘rest and digestion’ state of the nervous system, deep healing occurs. Yoga Nidra is perfect for any day you’re worn out, low on energy or on any day at all just before bed for the deepest night’s rest.
I wish you the most beautiful, peaceful and calmest of times ahead wherever that may be. Namaste.
