WHAT ARE THE SIX STEPS OF HEALING?

These are remedies you can use for your problem in order from safest to most dangerous: Step 0 is the safest; Step 6 the most dangerous.

Use Steps 0, 1, 2 and 3 as preventive medicine. Prevention is an important, though often invisible, way of healing/wholing in the Wise Woman tradition. Deep relaxation, information exchange, energetic engagement, optimum nourishment (including touch) and exercise promote health with little or no side effects.

Examples are in parenthesis: (with a few of the modalities available at each step)

Step 0: Do Nothing
(sleep, meditate, unplug the clock or the telephone)

A vital, invisible step.

Step 1: Collect Information
(low-tech diagnosis, books, support groups, divination)

tep 2: Engage the Energy
(prayer, homeopathy, ceremony, affirmations, color, laughter)

Step 3: Nourish and Tonify
(herbal infusions and vinegars, hugs, exercise, food choices, gentle massage, yoga stretches)

Note: Healing with Steps 4, 5, and 6 always causes some harm.

Step 4: Stimulate/Sedate
(hot or cold water, many herbal tinctures, acupuncture)

For every stimulation/sedation, there is an opposite sedation/stimulation, sooner or later. Addiction is possible if this step is overused.

Step 5a: Use Supplements
(synthesized or concentrated vitamins, minerals, and food substances such as nutritional yeast, blue-green algae, bran, royal jelly or spirulina)

Supplements are not Step 3. There?s always a risk with synthesized concentrated substances that they?ll do more harm than good.

Step 5b: Use Drugs
(chemotherapy, tamoxifen, hormones, high dilution homeopathics, and potentially toxic herbs)

Overdose may cause grave injury or death.

Step 6: Break and Enter
(threatening language, surgery, colonics, radiation therapies, psychoactive drugs, invasive diagnostic tests such as mammograms and C-T scans)

Side effects are inevitable and may include permanent injury or death.

HOW TO USE THE SIX STEPS OF HEALING

If you want to remedy your problem with the least possible side effects and danger, start at Step 1. After reading Step 1, pick one remedy from Step 2 and set a time limit for working with it. If your problem is unresolved within that time, decide if the time limit needs expanding or if you are ready to go to Step 3. Continue in this manner, moving to Steps 4, 5 or 6 as needed, until your problem is solved.

Each step up increases the possibility of side effects and their severity so try at least one of the Step 2 techniques, even if they seem strange to you, before going onto the remedies of Step 3 and beyond (note also that time spent at Step 2 will help you choose appropriate remedies at Step 3 and so on). When your problem is resolved don?t stop. Go back through the steps, in reverse, before resting at Step 0.

You can continue to take remedies from a previous Step after moving on, but be cautious about the use of Step 4 remedies in combination with Step 5 remedies.

If you deem it necessary to heal through Step 5 and/or 6 (and real healing can and does take place with the aid of drugs and surgery) and have not yet tried any techniques from Steps 2 and 3, do so immediately. Engaging the energy, nourishing and tonifying will aid and abet the healing powers of the more dangerous healing ways and help prevent or moderate their side effects.

What causes you stress? Your kids? Job? Money? Moving? Love or lack of it? Physical or emotional pain?

How much of your feeling of stress is based off of your current situations, and how much is based off of your past situations? You probably know what I mean by that, but the answer is not always clear when you’re in the middle of it.

You are aware that managing and reducing stress can prevent lots of problems. Problems with health, sleep, poor diet potential addiction, and more. Stopping these problems before they start is just smart.

I know you wouldn’t choose to have problems with your blood pressure, heart, or trouble sleeping. But, ignoring your stress is very close to doing just that.

Some people with high stress look to avoid the discomfort by looking for pleasure to cover it. Things like watching TV, movies, medications, smoking and other addictions.

People tend to believe traditional talk therapy and medication are the only alternatives, and try to avoid that. If you knew there was a reliable and medically tested method to relieve stress, would you consider it?

Yes you would, if it really worked.

Like most people, you have probably watched TV or a movie to help you relax. Does it help? Yeah. It gives you a distraction. Something else to focus on and think about, right? But there really isn’t much “thinking” going on… it just indirectly creates a more quiet state of mind - for a while.

People get this state of mind with creative visualization, breathing exercises, yoga, meditation and deep prayer.

All of these examples technically achieve a mental state of hypnosis. With a little practice, it is very easy to get this hyper focused state. Like when you’re involved in reading a book, or on the phone.

Hypnosis is a state of mind everyone goes into several times a day. Hypnotizing yourself, on purpose, is so easy to do and is so beneficial to your stress and health in general.

I’m a hypnotist, so what do you expect me to say, right? The National Library of Medicine has a site, ww.pubmed.gov where you can search for medical studies on hypnosis and stress. Please remember, these are trained doctors doing hypnosis, not trained hypnotists. The results can be even better than they find.

Physical and mental stress reduction is possible in just a few short minutes.

Getting help from an appropriately trained hypnotist or using a quality self-hypnosis audio to reduce general stress are perfect alternatives. They have a higher rate of long-term success than medication and hypnosis has no potential for side-effects.

Please note: Hypnosis has been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, But, it does not replace traditional medicine.

Can you imagine an amazing herb strong enough to sterilize sewage water, but gentle enough not to harm human tissue? Most of us are very familiar with this herb as it is used for flavoring in cooking.

Now more of us are realizing the incredible health benefits of this herb when it is delivered in essential oil form. Essential oils work far faster than teas and many times faster than capsules and are readily digestible and quickly absorbed and assimilated into our physical system. We all have heard of oregano as it is used on our pizza. Now we can realize the health benefits of oregano in essential oil form.

The results of research done in 1910 by W.H. Martindale, lead him to conclude that “the essential oil of oregano is the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known.” Research in 1977 done by Dr. Belaniche resulted in his “oregano Index” against which all other antibacterial substances are compared. Oil of Oregano is the closest to being the ideal antibacterial agent. Dr. Blaiche states “Among the more active of oils, Oregano is the best of the best. The essential oil of oregano has always provided me with amazing results in treating infectious diseases. Dr. Jean Valnet who is a French authority on the use and benefits of essentials oils, states that essential oils “proved to be many times more effective at killing pathogenic microorganisms than antibiotics.”

An active ingredient of oil of oregano is carvacrol which has been found to help relieve upper respiratory infections such as colds and sinus infections. It potently inhibits platelet aggression which is a risk factor in blood clot formation that is a major cause of strokes and heart attacks. Oil of oregano, in one study, was found to reduce melanoma by 50% in vitro. Oil of oregano has powerful anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic properties. This is important because parasites and viruses, like yeasts, cannot be treated successfully by antibiotics. In a 1966 study published in Medical sciences Research, it was shown that oil of oregano killed RNA and DNA viruses such as sold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. This makes it a very beneficial for treating the conditions of colds and flu. Oil of oregano is significantly effective in treating various forms of harmful parasites. Oil of oregano is an effective digestive aid. Oil of oregano has also been found to surpass prescription synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs in it’s effectiveness in relieving and reversing pain and has been said to be almost as powerful as morphine. Oil of oregano has been shown to strengthen the immune system. As an antioxidant, it halts the formation of cholesterol which is responsible for arteriosclerosis, i.e. hardening of the arteries.

An extra advantage of oil of oregano is that it can be used either topically or internally, depending upon the need and target ailment e.g. acne, allergies, arthritis, asthma, athlete’s foot, blood clots, bronchitis, candida, canker sores, colds, flu, constipation, croup, dandruff, diarrhea, digestive disorders, earaches, fatigue, fungal infection, gastrointestinal infection, gum disease, hay fever, headaches, inflammation, insect bites, menstrual irregularities, muscle pain parasites, psoriasis, ringworm, rosacea, seborrhea, sinusitis, thrombus, toenail fungus, and immune system.

Often known as a cooking herb, there is much more to oregano when it is used in essential oil form .It’s long list of health benefits makes it one of nature’s best kept secrets, a natural health aid that is a remarkably miraculous and versatile medicine. If we are suffering from any the before mentioned health ailments, we would be well served to explore the healing properties of this miraculous herb, oil of oregano.

Tribulus terrestris, as it is properly called, is an herb of South Asian origin that can support reproductive function and boost libido in men and women.

It does so by increasing levels of the pituitary hormone LH (Luteinizing Hormone), otherwise known as Gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GNRH1), which is responsible for the initiation of testosterone.

Known by the Sanskrit name ?gokshurma? it has been used as a tonic and aphrodisiac in India and other areas round the subcontinent. It began to be used commonly in Eastern Europe in the 1970s to increase the sex drive, and its use in this respect has spread to most of the western world. Also known as the ?Puncture Vine? (the bane of cyclists!), tribulus has been used at least since ancient Greek times for the treatment of many conditions such as headache, urinary problems and sexual dysfunction. In the Far East it has been used for many purposes including liver and heart conditions.

Although scientific evidence for these effects is low, those that use it claim significant improvements in their libido, and a loss of sexual impulse when they stop taking it. This is more than a placebo effect and many claim that the medical investigations have been carried out less than adequately due to the potential social rather than medical applications of the herb. However, there is tenuous evidence that it may affect the brain cells in the hypothalamus responsible for the release of testosterone into the body.

In fact close study of these results indicates that they might well be supporting the claims made by the users of tribulus. What they show is that testosterone levels can be increased by 30% - 50% above base levels, but still within normal levels, and the argument being in that case that it does not increase testosterone above normal. Now 50% is a big increase, and if someone with a low testosterone level is brought back to normal by use of this herb extract, then surely that is an argument for its success with such people. Nobody wants any more than their fair share of testosterone, unless they are body-building athletes wanting to cheat!

In addition, the opponents of tribulus make great play of the fact that it does not increase the testosterone levels in most young men. It should be pretty obvious that most young men are full of testosterone, and their levels only need supplemented as they grow older. The major of users of libido enhancing drugs are in the older age groups, so while it is claimed that the scientific evidence for its effectiveness is low, it can be argued that for those that need it, there is a very strong argument indeed for its use.

Unknown to most men, testosterone is also the major hormone that governs women?s libido, and after that the most important is estradiol. Testosterone is produced in small but significant quantities by the ovaries until the menopause, after which its production is continued by the adrenal glands in the majority of women. That is why most, but not all, women maintain a sex drive after the menopause when there is no biological need for it in relation to procreation. This proves, however, that testosterone production with women is essential for their libido, and tribulus terrestris is said to increase the production of the fore-mentioned LH in women.

The active ingredients of tribulus have been proved by various spectroscopic analytical techniques (IR, NMR and MS) to be four furostanol saponins: two protodioscins, and two prototribestins, the protodioscin being generally regarded as the most prevalent and important. This is a hormone related to DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone that is a prohormone for the sex steroids. Some argue that it has little effect on the sex drive other than provided by ginseng, although the two are active through different biochemical pathways.

It is important, then, that tribulus supplements be sourced carefully, since many have been shown to contain no protodioscin. In fact may companies have never heard of protodioscin and have no idea whether it is in their product or not. That is why such products must be purchased from reputable natural health food outlets and not supermarkets or even some multinational companies that sell by the name and not their knowledge of the product. This is true not only of Tribulus, but also of many other supplements, the biological pathways of which the public generally have little knowledge.

There is Tribulus Terrestri extract on sale today from many outlets that contain zero percent protodioscin that has been proved scientifically to be the active ingredient. Without protodioscin a tribulus supplement is worth nothing and will do nothing for your sex drive. Always check the bottle or tub for the protodioscin content. You might as well buy Scotch malt whisky without the alcohol.

The dosage of the supplement can be from 80 ? 1500 mg (milligrams) daily, but this really means nothing. It is important, like any supplement, that it is standardized to the equivalent content of the active ingredient that can stated in terms of saponins or of protodioscin, depending on which brand you purchase. 250 -500 mg at 40% saponin content is a reasonable dosage to start with, but this can be reduced or increased according to the effect.

Too many websites have the same information that indicates few have any original knowledge because they all copy each other. Ignore any information that is not provided on the basis of the active ingredients: as stated, these are saponins or protodioscin (both are basically the same information). Purchase and test the effectiveness of your dosage on the basis of a standardized active content. Hence, 500 mg of 20% saponins or protodioscin is the same strength as 250 mg of a 40% extract.

Although medical research on tribulus terrestris is sparse, what there is indicates that it can support reproductive function and boost the libido of those with a deficiency in testosterone production by up to 50%, and that is something that older men and women would truly appreciate!

There are no known side-effects, though pregnant women should refer to their doctor. However, make sure that you purchase your supply from a reputable online or offline health food or supplement supplier since most supermarkets and chain stores do not know what they are selling. Some tribulus supplements have no active ingredient at all!

As the word Aromatherapy suggests, it is the art of putting in use the essential oils obtained from aromatic plants and herbs to get the remedial effect and improvement of beauty and well being of the individuals.

Prior to 1920s nobody was aware of the term Aromatherapy as such. A French chemist Ren? Maurice Gattefoss? accidentally discovered the healing properties of essential oils and coined the term Aromatherapy later on.

Actual history of the use of the essential oils can be traced back to ancient Egyptians and Indians. Egyptians used the essential oils to embalm the dead bodies while Indians and some other civilizations used the essential oils to get the remedial effects against pain relief with great success. There are many ways to extract essential oils from the plants, but the most popular method being distillation through alcohol, as this is a very simple method and alcohol is freely available.

The application of aromatherapy mainly practiced in three ways:
1. by inhalation
2. by topical application and
3. by oral intake

Inhalation is the fastest to react and provide the necessary remedial effect for the respiratory disinfection, decongestion and expectoration etc. The molecules of the volatile essential oils get in contact with the olfactory nerves located in the upper part of the inner nose. After that these molecules are carried to the brain in the limbic system. Limbic system of the brain remains always in contact with the part of the brain which controls rate of heart beats, blood pressure, breathing, hormonal balance and stress level control etc. The molecules cause the secretion of certain biochemicals to affect our mood, state of mind or trigger the remedial effect. To get the best results from the inhaling method the essential oils are either spread on a tissue or added to the water for bath or defused in a vaporizer.

Topical application is used for the general massage, baths, compresses, therapeutic skin care, rectal, vaginal interfaces for infection, congestion, parasites etc. Most of the essential oils are not greasy and gets readily absorbed by the skin. The route of the absorption is usually through the hair follicles and sweat gland openings from there they travel to the blood stream and reach to the affected part of the body. These oils not only kill the viruses and the bacteria but at the same time they strengthen the immune system of the body to prevent further attack and start a speedy recovery process. Each essential oil has distinct set of properties and benefits. The essential oils are applied to the skin always in diluted form since the application of raw essential oil can harm you. The dilution is achieved by mixing appropriate quantity of raw essential oil in carrier oil. It is always better for the people with delicate or sensitive skin to test the reactivity of the essential oils before starting the application.

Oral intake is practiced rarely as some of the essential oils are toxic in nature and besides that intake of raw oils may harm you therefore it is advisable that if you are going to opt for the oral intake, then it should be done under the expert supervision only. Generally oral application of the essential oils is done for the problems relating to the denture and gums and the oils used are clove, tea tree, myrrh, thyme and peppermint.

There are host of benefits from the aromatherapy which you can avail during your normal day to day life. First of them is the aromatherapy bath, it is a very pleasant and soothing way to relax your tired and overstressed bodies. The essential oil present in the water cleans up the pores of the skin and allows it to breathe naturally and relaxes the muscles too. The next inline is the aromatherapeutic massage it doubles up the benefit of the massage and aromatherapy. The massage revitalizes and stimulates the organs while the essential oil gets penetrated deep inside into the blood stream to clear the toxins out.

There is one more plus point of aromatherapy; it does not offer any side effect as compared to the conventional medications. May be that is the reason more and more people are coming under aromatherapy. Its popularity has grown to immensely in the recent time so as it has been accepted as one of the alternative medicine in many countries.

If you have not tried it yet, then you are really missing something. So give it a try today.

If you have been in a work related accident in the past or have been living with pain for decades now, maybe you need to learn what’s involved with this specific branch of massage specialty.

While massage in general may be used for relaxation…NMT or Neuromuscular massage is designed especially to help you deal with your pain. Most of us don’t think much about our nervous systems. We tend to take them for granted. But they actually have a direct impact on not only the amount of tension in our muscles…but the amount of pain that we can actually endure.
Whereas a run of the mill “relaxation” massage will work on the general areas of your back…NMT is a deep tissue massage that addresses individual specific muscles, ligaments, connective tissue & tendons that are often would never be addressed in a usual relaxation type of massage.

Would you like to know what happens next?

First the client will sit in a a chair specifically made for receiving massages. Thumbs, fingertips and elbows are the tools of choice for the massage therapist to explore every fiber tissue looking for bands of muscle fibers that are tighter than the the others. These result in troubles such as hyper tonicity and ischemia. Hypertonicity is basically a fancy word for too much tension in your bodies muscles. Isechemia is mainly another word for a restriction of your bodies blood flow in that area.

These areas will be worked until they cooperate or relax. NMT will boost blood flow, diminish their pain and in fact release pressure on nerves caused by past soft tissue and muscle trauma.
Sometimes people ask why a therapist is working “over there” when it seems to hurt “over here”. The justification is Neuromuscular massage eases the letting go of trigger points and intense knots of tense muscle that in turn release pain in other areas of the body that are linked by the same muscle. This is known as “Referred Pain”. For example: Addressing a stressed trigger point in your back…could help release pain in your shoulder or even alleviate pounding headaches.

What Does This Tell You About Your Massage Therapist?

Think about it. This means that your neuromuscular therapist must be profficient in Several disciplines including:
The physiology of the bodies nervous system
Its relation on the muscular and skeletal systems.
Is educatedin the field of kinesiology
Is skilled in biomechanics
Is schooled in how to work in a clinical or medical environment

What Are The Benefits Of Neuromuscular Massage?

Neuromuscular Therapy will be used to address each of the five elements that cause pain in everyone of us:
Ischemia: We discussed a bit about this one already. Isechemia is basically a deficiency of blood supply to soft tissues which results in hypersensitivity to touch.

Trigger Points: These are highly aggrevated points in muscles, which refer pain to other parts of the body. Previously we discussed about how relaxing a trigger point in your left upper back could relax or stop those horrible throbbing headaches. (Even though you might not have connected the two together before)

Nerve Compression: This is basically strain on a nerve caused by any of the following:

* Soft tissue
* Cartilage
* Bone

Postural Distortion: This is an imbalance of the muscular system as a result of the movement of the body off the longitudinal and horizontal planes. This is a another way of explaining your body every now and then needs a muscle alignment just like your car needs one after hitting too many potholes!

Biomechanical Dysfunction: This corresponds to the imbalance of the muscular skeletal system due to bad habits like these:

* Poor lifting habits
* Incorrect golf swing
* Awful tennis stroke
* Incorrect typing posture

If you feel that you might benefit from Neuro-muscular Massage therapy, give your local massage therapist a call and ask if they focus on this form of massage therapy. After a session or two I think you will be amazed with the way you feel.

Your body is self-healing. Consider a broken bone. If you break a bone, a doctor doesn?t heal it, he will set it then put a cast on it. You are then given medicine to ward off infection and to kill pain.

But your body heals the bone by mending it. You must supply the nutrition that it uses to do this.

You body can heal a scratch, a cut, a burn and even a cold or flu. Medications taken for these problems are used to help kill bacteria and to make you more comfortable.

Our lymphatic system is filled with t-cells, macrophages and many white blood cells to help kill bacteria, viruses and neutralize toxins. This is our own personal immune system and is evidence that the body is self-healing.

Problems arise when our immune system becomes either weak or attacks itself. Constant inflammation from chemicals, drugs and other environmental toxins over-burden and overwhelm our systems. This in turn can lead to chronic disease.

When we eat junk food or over eat foods such as meat and breads, it doesn?t get digested and removed efficiently. It becomes toxic so our body?s response is to defend itself by excreting extra mucus in the small intestine. When this happens repeatedly, the mucus builds up with the partially digested food and now we have a buildup of waste or a plaque lining.

This is why colon cleansing and detoxing are so important. As we take responsibility for our health and ease the burden to the body, our immune system becomes free to work as it should.

Some doctors will tell you that while the body is self-healing, it is also meant to detox or cleanse itself ? and it is. However, your organs of elimination cannot work properly if they are over-loaded. As the buildup makes the body sluggish, the liver and gall bladder cannot dump the bile and waste because is has nowhere to send it to.

Normally, much of this toxic bile and waste would be sent to the small intestine, the colon then out. But if the small intestine is partially blocked while at the same time being bombarded on a regular basis with over-eating, junk food or more chemicals, it slows down. There is simply no place to “dump” the waste. As this waste accumulates, your body must now focus all attention on keeping you alive. If it must do this in a state of sickness, it will.

It’s much like this; if you set your hand on a table and pour a little dirt on it, you will pick up your hand and shake it off. But if you put 10 pounds of dirt on your hand, you need help removing it. There is nothing wrong with your hand, but you need to get the weight off if you want full use of it.

Our organs and immune system are very strong when we are young. But as the years go on toxins do accumulate. If you want full use of your body and its healing abilities, you must help it clear the old waste and build-up. When you accomplish this, you will find that the body is self-healing and you are stronger than you may have previously thought.

Despite the fact that 75% of women and a large percentage of men suffer from yeast infections, many are still reluctant to visit their doctors. Many traditional remedies concentrate on treating the symptions rather than the cures as a result more and more sufferers are looking to natural and holistic cures.

Yeast infections when being discussed by the medical profession are also referred to as Candida. All forms of these kinds of infections are caused by various different groups of microscopic fungi or yeast being able to attack the body. With there currently being 20 different kinds of yeast infection that a woman may suffer from, and the most common of these being Candida Albicans. However not only can women suffer from yeast infections so can men as this type of fungi lives on all our bodies.

In fact anyone no matter what age they are can suffer from yeast infection. But the most common types you will have heard of are vaginal yeast infection, thrush, diaper (nappy) rash as well as yeast infections of the skin and nails as well.

The most likely places a person will often find that they suffer from a yeast infection is an area of the body which is damp and warm, say the underarms for example. However in most cases our skin is able to prevent this particular organism from obtaining access to these areas and this will in turn prevent it from growing. If however a person has some damage to the skin then this provides the yeast a chance to penetrate through to the area in question and so allow it to start growing.

Certainly for children the areas where they are most likely to be prone to suffering from some form of yeast infection is around the mouth as well as the diaper area. Although adults may suffer from yeast infections of the mouth they are much more susceptible to this kind of infection as they grow older especially if they wear dentures. But a lot of the yeast infections that adults and babies suffer from are very superficial and can be easily treated.

But there are a few cases of yeast infection, although these are very rare and which given the chance can affect the whole body. In such cases as these the mortality rate is very high. Often only 1 in 4 people who suffer from such an infection are likely to be treated and cured. So even if you suffer from an infection to the mouth or genital area if left untreated can be come extremely complicated and dangerous and normal medications will not be able to treat it.

Certainly the biggest problem we face today when it comes to yeast infections, even though diagnosing it is easy, is what has actually caused it to occur in the first place. There are many different things which can cause an infection to happen for example a person who has been taking antibiotics for another kind of infection may develop a yeast infection. This is because unfortunately their immune system has become comprised and so they do not have sufficient antibodies in their body to be able to fight of the yeast fungi as it begins to multiply.

Over recent years there have been developments in the natural and holistic cures for yest infections and which are now readily available. But the great thing about these types of cures is that they work on treating the root cause of the infection and so help to prevent the yeast infection from occurring initially. One such product “Yeast Infection Away” is claiming that it can cure any kind of yeast infection in just twelve hours. Whilst there is another known as “Yeast Infection No More” that offers an holistic approach to being able to remove the threat of Candida (yeast infections) permanently.
