BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: AGRIMONY

admin — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:19:14 +0000

Calm and serene on the surface, turbulence inside, Deceptive composure on the face, unable and unwilling to express his anguish by weeping or wailing, avoids quarrels and arguments at all costs, may start drinking or smoking to seek temporary relief from the suppressed mental torture. Agrimony patient does not go to a doctor if he falls ill, He does not seek the help of anybody even if he desperately needs it. Wants to suffer alone rather than disturb others in the house. In fact, Agrimony patient is so adept in putting up a sham face that it is very difficult to spot his type.It took me more than 6 months to find that Mrs. M.K. was Agrimony type, although I was their family doctor, and she used to come to me quite often in connection with the ailments of other members of her family. She was always smiling and once when her husband had to be taken to a private nursing home at night for emergency treatment, she kept perfect equanimity on her face, and did not show any anxiety. It was only when she herself met with an accident and badly bruised her foot that her sister-in-law came to collect medicine for her. It was only then that I learnt that Mrs.M.K. was herself suffering from many ailments, but she never uttered a word about her own troubles when she came to collect medicines for her other relatives. When I visited to see her, she put up a brave face and did not evince the extreme physical pain which was evident from the nature of injuries on the ankle. I had to put her on AGRIMONY T.D.S for 2 months to change her nature.*48\308\8*

HONEY — ITS SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC EFFECT

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:31:36 +0000

It is interesting to study how that little wonder, the bee, makes its honey. We marvel, too, at the bee’s body and how this small and delicate structure is able to manufacture a substance that would need such cumbersome machinery if done by humans. Then we marvel at the diligent industry of the bee as we watch its flight over the flowering countryside – but these aspects are not what I wish to speak about right now. Our interest, at the moment, lies in the remedial value of honey, which has earned a high mark for itself in natural medicine.

In the ancient world honey was well known and appreciated for its healing properties but as time went on that knowledge fell into oblivion. The rediscovery and scientific explanation of the value of honey, however, has enabled it once more to assume its rightful place among natural remedies.

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – THE BAUNSCHEIDT METHOD

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:25:40 +0000

The Baunscheidt method is similar to the Chinese treatment just described. However, Baunscheidt did not take it from the Chinese but developed his treatment based on his own experience and conclusions. This method achieves a simulation or irritation of the skin by means of an apparatus known in German as Lebenswecker (life reviver). After pricking the skin, Baunscheidt oil is rubbed in, the area is covered with cotton wool and the ingredients are left to work overnight. The following day the treatment is continued with the application of a lanolin cream (Bioforce Cream).

This therapy has given good results in the treatment of chronic ailments, even multiple sclerosis. The application is made on the left and right side along the patient’s spine. However, it is not advisable to undertake a Baunscheidt revulsion treatment on the off-chance that it might work, but without being really familiar with it. If you want to use this method it is absolutely essential that you know the correct way of applying it. The same rule applies to any stimulation therapy and it is better to let a physiotherapist or biologically oriented doctor with the necessary experience give the treatment. The needles have to be used with great care and only on the muscles; never touch the glands or periosteum, which must not be irritated.

Stimulation therapies can be used successfully in cases where medicines fail to give results because the circulation in the affected parts is insufficient and the remedies do not reach them. The stimulation provided by these therapies is then an alternative and welcome means of assistance.

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – FURTHER OBSERVATIONS (WILD FRUITS)

Nearly all wild fruits are rich in vitamin Ñ and contain valuable fruit sugar. Barberries, rose hips and sea buckthorn berries are marketed in the form of tasty conserves that keep well. Your vitamin Ñ requirements in the winter and spring months will therefore be met if you take these purees. An especially effective addition to them are combinations such as Bio-Sanddorsan; this contains sea buckthorn as well as rose hip puree, both of which valuable for your health and also very tasty. Children like to eat Bio-Sanddorsan as a sandwich spread. It is an advantage when something that is necessary can also be made palatable, especially as far as sweet-toothed children are concerned, because then they will happily take in the thing that benefits their health. I once overheard a child say, with sad face, that things that were tasty were bad for you, but things that were supposed to be good for you had a nasty taste. I have never forgotten this remark and since then have tried hard to produce health foods that taste good at the same time. This is possible by using well-thought-out combinations, such as the one I achieved in Bio-Sanddorsan. Another easy way to avail oneself of vitamins is by taking Bio-C-Lozenges, made from fruit extracts such as acerola cherries, sea buckthorn, rose hips, passion-fruit, lemons and blackcurrants.

A BRIEF GUIDE TO SELECTED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES – LACHESIS (INTRODUCTION)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:12:37 +0000

Do not be shocked, dear readers, when I tell you that this remedy is made from snake poison, taken from a viper (Lachesis muta, or bushmaster) whose bite, if unattended, leads to certain death. However, when homoeopathically potentised, in this case diluted a billion times, Lachesis is a valuable medicine.

We owe the discovery of this remarkable remedy to Dr Constan-tin Hering. It has no doubt saved many more lives than have ever been lost through the bite of the bushmaster. Blood poisoning,

septicaemia, chronic ulcers, boils, carbuncles, smallpox, scarlet fever, severe cases of measles and other diseases just as serious, can be safely and reliably treated with Lachesis. Whenever a disorder is accompanied by a bluish appearance of the skin, you can be sure that Lachesis 12x will help.

Lachesis 12x is a superb remedy for problems occurring in the left side of the pelvis, especially women’s complaints.

A SELECTION OF MEDICINAL HERBS – PAPAYA (CARICA PAPAYA) – HELP FOR THE PANCREAS

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:04:12 +0000

Papaya stimulates the pancreas and helps to digest protein. If you happen to indulge in too much protein, eat some papaya and you will find that the feeling of fullness and listlessness disappears in a matter of minutes. No wonder, then, that Papayasan, which is made from papaya leaves and the juice of unripe fruits, is such a helpful natural product. In fact, Papayasan has proved to be an excellent remedy for a range of pancreatic problems, including fatty stools caused by insufficiency of the pancreas, even typical pancreatitis. Papayasan should preferably be taken in conjunction with Kelpasan because of the latter’s potassium iodide content. Diabetics will benefit from Papayasan too, since it is a great aid in digesting fat and protein. Anyone who suffers from diabetes should take two Papayasan tablets after every meal and will be delighted at the effect of this natural remedy.

If you intend to travel to a subtropical or tropical region, even if only for a short visit or vacation, do not forget to take some Papayasan with you. Remember, two tablets after every meal can save you from a lot of trouble. It is much better to pay a little attention to your body and care for your health than fall victim to amoebic dysentery or some stubborn worm infection and the bothersome consequences.
