admin — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 10:11:14 +0000

Wild Oat remedy helps him to discover the proper vocation in life.
A Bach Remedy practitioner may get puzzled if a case presents various traits, calling for different remedies and he is at a loss to find which is the most appropriate remedy with which to start the treatment. The doctor should himself take Wild Oat remedy which will help him to prescribe correctly. Wild Oat remedy should also be given to the patient in the course of treatment when the combination of Flower Remedies used has not brought a response or when it seems that too many Flowers are indicated at the same time.
It is a very useful remedy where vocational decisions have to be made.
Broadly speaking, Wild Oat would be found useful when choice has to be made between many options.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: WALNUT REMEDY – VIPIN BHATIA’S CASE

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:10:10 +0000

Vipin Bhatia had weeping eczema on his legs for the past several years. It was always relieved by Graphites, a homoeopathic medicine, but would erupt again & again. This was a hereditary disease and Mr. Bhatia had always a lurking doubt in his mind if it could be permanently cured.
Walnut (for hereditary disease) and (Gentian) for doubt were given T.D.S to root out the trouble permanently.
After 2 weeks he felt some relief in itching and felt reassured in his mind then ‘GENTIAN’ was discontinued, and WALNUT alone was continued for another 8 weeks. He did not have recurrence of the trouble again.
To get a clear conception of Flower Remedies, suitable for persons prone to foreign influence:
WALNUT : Sensitive to change – change of life i.e. teething, menopause, puberty etc; change of atmosphere; change of old customs and convention etc.
CENTAURY: Has very weak will which gives way under the influence of a stronger will.
CERATO : Does not trust his own judgement and is influenced by other’s decisions in his personal affairs.
SCLERANTHUS : Has a vacillating mind, and is subject to foreign influence which only assists it in mental indecision. Ultimately he takes his own decision which is much late and yet neither firm nor final.
WELD OAT : Has no clear conception of his ultimate aim or ambition, and is therefore liable to be influenced by others in his choice of profession.
HONEY SUCKLE : Has no interest in the present. His mind is always dwelling in the past memories. It is very easy to influence such an unstable mind.
CLEMATIS : Is the least concerned with his present position. His mind is always living in a rosy future of thoughts, and cannot be bothered by the present problems, and hence his present is liable to be influenced by external thoughts.

A SELECTION OF MEDICINAL HERBS – CURING AN ADDICTION TO CHEMICAL ANALGESICS

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:54:53 +0000

In recent years there has been a frightening increase in the number of people becoming addicted to pain-killing drugs. It is therefore welcome news indeed that Petadolor, if taken regularly, can cure the habit comparatively easily. Thousands of people can now obtain great relief through this simple herbal remedy. Taking one tablet every hour can break the addition within a few weeks. Petadolor can even relieve in a relatively short time severe cases of migraine headaches that are accompanied by the typical vomiting of bile. Some patients had suffered from such attacks for years before taking Petadolor. However, it must be said that the normal dose of two tablets three times a day is not sufficient for this purpose. In severe cases the tablets should be taken every hour, or even every half hour, and allowed to dissolve on the tongue.

DEALING WITH EXCESSIVE FOOT SWEAT – SUPPRESSING FOOT SWEAT

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:48:06 +0000

A doctor in Berlin once helped himself by sprinkling carbide powder on the insoles of his shoes. The moisture exuding from the feet generates heat through its contact with the carbide, which serves to draw out yet more moisture. In this way foot sweat is induced artificially. It was reported that the doctor used this method to cure several cases, including patients with lung diseases that had previously failed to respond to any other treatment.

The thing to remember is that it is fundamentally wrong to try to suppress foot sweat. If the odour becomes too unpleasant, bathe the feet frequently; wash them with a herbal infusion and afterwards oil them with a good, aromatic skin oil, for example Juni-perosan, that is easily absorbed. Also, change your socks and stockings frequently. These measures will do no harm and can only be beneficial. Remember, the natural functions of the body should never be suppressed because through them the system is able to work properly.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR – THE STRUCTURE OF THE HAIR

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:30:25 +0000

The anatomic structure of the hair, like so many other things in the body, is a technical miracle. Although the hair has no feeling, it is not dead matter either. Perhaps it could best be compared to a plant with a bulb-shaped root. The hair root, or bulb, is embedded in the skin, about 3-5 mm deep (Vs-Vs inch), and is connected by blood vessels from which it receives the nutrients necessary for the hair to grow. The daily rate of growth is about Va—Vi mm. A tightly knit network of lymphatics envelops the hair roots. The salty lymph is thought to act as an electrolyte in the electrical function of hair. Strong electric charges in hair cause visible sparks when combing it in the dark. The hair of very excited or ecstatic people lights up in the dark and when photographed the effect is seen as a kind of halo. Great mental disturbance and agitation is observable in the hair, when viewed under a microscope, as notches of variable depths. So it is possible, for example, to discover if someone has had a nervous breakdown the previous year.

SEVEN BASIC RULES FOR THE PREVENTION OF CANCER – RULE ONE

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:22:05 +0000

We live in restless, uneasy times, beset with many failures and disappointments. Instead of putting the emphasis on the manifold problems and difficulties confronting us, we should try our best to keep calm and maintain our equilibrium. If we let worries and anxieties dominate us, we should not be surprised if our health begins to suffer; we will become agitated and our mental and emotional life will be impaired, even come under stress. In such circumstances is there any wonder that spasms occur and mental tensions attack and damage our cellular system?

We must fight against depression in our outlook and attitude, because constant mental and emotional pressures, given time, can act like a physical cell poison. Depressive worries lead directly to tension in the body and if the condition is allowed to continue, it will contribute considerably to the development of cancer. So if we do not want to suffer undue damage through worries and the like, we must make a determined effort to shake off everything that might upset our equilibrium, our inner calm and balance. However, that does not mean we should become apathetic or lethargic, for indifference is no remedy whatsoever. On the contrary, we must endeavour to go about our work with a happy spirit and with bold determination try to find release from our worries. If we do all that lies in our power to do, then we can remain calm and take care that our spirit is filled with uplifting, optimistic things and that we enjoy nature’s precious gifts with joy and gratitude. There are some people who give in to their worries and anxieties to such an extent that their depression makes them oblivious to the most beautiful scenery and glorious sunshine. It is to them that we especially recommend the precept ‘Happiness means health’.

ARTHRITIS AND GOUT – CORTISONE (DURING TREATMENT)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:13:20 +0000

What is more, it is known from animal experiments — and autopsies on patients who died during treatment – that prolonged medication with cortisone tends to atrophy the adrenal cortex. In fact, cases have been known where the cortex had virtually wasted away completely. If the body is given a substance which it should produce itself, then the organ which normally has this function will degenerate because it has become superfluous. The same principle applies to the muscles. If they are not exercised they will grow weak and flabby, resulting in atrophy, wasting away. We have the same evidence of such a thing happening in the case of diabetes and treatment with insulin. The doctor will readily admit that insulin is a help but not a cure. Part of the pancreas, the part that actually produces insulin, begins to degenerate if too much of the medication is given. Orthodox medicine is aware of this fact and a conscientious doctor will prescribe the absolute minimum dose necessary. He does not want to discourage the pancreas from manufacturing its own insulin, or perhaps even cause the still active islets of the pancreas to degenerate as well. It is obvious that the treatment which produces results without the need for insulin is to be preferred at all times.
