What is Candida?
Candida is an invasive form of yeast and emmits over 70 toxins wreaking havoc in the
body and causing a host of symptoms affecting men, women and children. Worst
of all most people don't realise that they have a candida problem due to the wide range of symptoms!
For more information on candida please go to the Candida Info page.

The Myth
The name "Persephone" comes from the ancient Greek myth of Persephone And The Pomegranate, a story that explains the cycle of the changing seasons.
Persephone is a goddess in Greek mythology and
represents Spring time and innocence and this to me seemed appropriate as spring time is a time of new beginnings and positive growth - just like your healing journey!
The story goes that she was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Persephone was such a
beautiful young woman that everyone loved her; even Hades wanted her for himself. One day, when she was
collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades
rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun,Helios, had noticed.
Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking
for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened. Demeter was so angry
that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile. Knowing this could not continue much longer, Zeus sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release Persephone.
Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone a
pomegranate. When
she ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay
there one-third of the year. The other months she stayed with her mother. When
Persephone was with Hades, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter
began, when she arrived back in the spring new life thrived and the flowers once again bloomed.
