A FAMILY HEALING ITSELF IS A FAMILY IN LOVE

Mother is the great healer.

Family health is a most important issue in my practice and a great place to start. Naturopathy sees mother as first healer. So I educate mothers in the use of simple herbal remedies. Some examples: echinacea herb on the onset of colds, astragalus when immune compromised from fatigue, ginseng for a daily tonic and digestive aid, ginger for nausea and mucus accumulations, bilberry to improve eye health.

Simple bruises are helped with arnica gel. In Chinese medicine the bruise is treated with hot and cold compresses. My grandmother used to put onion on pustules to draw out the toxins. In martial arts an injury is treated with strong, vigorous massage and frankincense oil.


What can we do to restore this self-empowering healing?

I think families have to rethink their priorities to make the effort to use more benign natural remedies in order to both improve the health of the family by avoiding stronger medicines and to improve the family politics. Being able to self-treat is an empowering tool that can build on family ties and a more loving atmosphere.

Prayer and meditation are effective healing technique. Children accept visualization prayer easily, so, when I treat children I use this to assist in healing.

We can learn that healing is a daily process. What we eat, how we eat, what we say, how we say it, become daily issues. This has a profound effect on family health


Water Is Amazing

Family is the water of life. Water is one of the most amazing substances on the planet. It is used in all life processes. It is the vehicle of communications. Dr. Emoto of Japan performed some amazing experiments with water. He illustrates this in Messages from Water, Hado Kyaikusha Co., Ltd. (Web site, www.hado.net).

Firstly, he began taking microscopic photos of water as it froze. He observed that healthy water crystallized and looks like a snowflake. When he captured polluted water it looked amorphous, no order. Then he got an idea: to photograph water after it has been exposed to music, and to his surprise the water made even more beautiful crystals and polluted water changed from "ugly" to beautiful. Receiving yet another idea, Dr. Emoto began to put words on the jars that held the water-lo, the bad water turned good with positive words like LOVE. Water remembers and changes with our intent. We are 70 percent water: this is the message.

In Chinese medicine water is genetics. Water governs the kidneys and procreation. Water is the spirit of the ancestors. To understand family, meditate on water and its properties. Water expands when frozen. Is this Love? We have lost that most precious ability to heal naturally.

Modern society removed us from the "real." Grandma would pick herbs to heal, use oils for gastritis, chicken soup for a cold, oats for skin rashes and chicken pox or eucalyptus oil for chest congestion. In Russian, Hungarian and Chinese culture, garlic soup was popular for sore throats. All these and more are available for the family health. These remedies still work but we have forgotten how to apply them.
