Motion
Children become cranky when they are blocked in their natural
drive for motion. We, the adults, become accustomed to outer
limitations and settle content wit a minimum of motion. The price we
pay for this „lazyness“ is high...
In times, when there are
ever more clever machines to replace our own physical movements,
exercise and free motion are widely neglected.
Without
motion hardly any of the body‘s built up adrenaline gets released.
Especially people under stress the whole day long must balance this
with free flowing motion in the evening. Many problems with the spine
would never develop, if only the metabolism in muscles, bones, tendons
and ligaments would get stimulated by more motion...
Truly,
nowadays, we have no lack of sports programs, fitness studios and other
such opportunities, but still absent is a steady amount of motion
during each day. Although it is better than nothing, when the stress
plagued manager puts on his running shoes on Sundays, but, it would be
better if - during the week - he would use the stairs instead of the
elevator and walk an appropriate distance every day.
On the
other hand, false, and one-sided motion does more harm than good. Many
who have hurt themselves mimicking the latest exercise fads without
proper instruction can sing the blues on this. I‘m thinking here of
jogging, aerobics, stretching etc. The list, as well as the list of
injuries that come with untrained exercises is long.
With
every form of motion, the feeling for the body must be observed. If the
body signals with pain that something is not going right, take this as
a warning to be taken seriously in your own interest. Natural motions,
such as walking, swimming, biking, riding, dancing are recreational
for body, mind and soul when practiced correctly and without ambition.
Whoever raises children should make sure that they have no shortage of
motion. Only can then develop a feeling for their bodies needs
Perspiration
Perspiring
or sweating is an important valve for the body. It regulates the
interior temperature of the body like an air-condition controls the
temperature in a house. When the outer temperature gets too hot, the
moist layer of perspiration on the body keeps the body temperature
constant through the resultant transpiration. Or in a fever crisis, the
body‘s first sign of the healing is, when it sheds sweat, in course of
which the temperature drops to normal levels.
As we loose a
lot of minerals while perspiring, we must be sure to replace them. For
this reason it is highly recommended that tourists in high temperature
countries have to take salt tablets to avoid cramps. The same is valid
for athletes who spend themselves in their competition.
Toxins are
also eliminated from the pores due to perspiration. For this reason
perspiration can be considered as a form of prophylactic health care.
This has been usefully applied in all cultural circles by providing
some type of sauna procedure. There are the „sweat tents“ of the North
American Indians as well as the well known versions of the Finnish log
house saunas. The principle is the same everywhere. High temperature
gets created in a small room, whether it is done in a wood stove, an
electric oven with stones, a steam fogger with high temperature or, the
latest fashion, the infrared sauna. The temperature goes up and the
body, in order to keep the „coretemperature“ on the same level, begins
to perspire. As a lot of toxins are stored in fatty tissue under the
skin, the cleansing effect occurs promptly and continues till the
cooling phase. The Finnish sauna is intended only for healthy people
for their health maintenance. The infrared sauna may be used also by
people whose health is not that perfect. But here, as well as in every
treatment, restrictions may apply.
Whoever is ill and wants
to fight sickness with perspiration, must observe some rules. In this
process it is important that heart and circulation don‘t get over
stressed. The patient gets wrapped in a warm blanket after a hot bath
and drinks hot tea (preferably lime blossom tea) Perspiration
developing from this process has some fever decreasing effect and helps
the immune system to eliminate inflammatory remnants of the body.
Saliva
Waking up in the morning with sticky eyelids, one may try to rub the eyes with saliva. They will be clear quickly.
A little bit of saliva rubbed upon an insects bite removes it‘s itchiness.
The morning saliva rubbed on warts during a waning moon is said to help to get rid of them
Urine
Many
books have been written about it in Europe. So I will limit myself to
own successful experiences. One can try to dab eczema with urine. They
heal then really quickly. The same goes for insect bites and every type
of inflammatory skin afflection such as acne or a sunburn.
For
this purpose you take a little midstream urine by releasing some first,
then holding and putting a container underneath and catching some
urine. Then apply the urine with a cotton swap or QTip. Let it
penetrate for several hours. If the skin tightens a neutral moisture
cream may be added. On minor wounds it has proven helpful to pad urine
first on the wounded or squeezed area and add then „Traumeel“ ointment
(available in Health food stores) Everything heals in less than half
the time ...
Neurodermitis sometime responds very favorably
to extern urine treatments. For this, it is the best to use a little
bit of evening urine and dab cautiously the rough and split skin areas
with a cloth that has been steeped in the urine. While doing this
treatment on babies, it is not advised to use disposable diapers,
because they are all treated with chemicals. A simple cotton cloth,
folded several times, is more suitable for catching the urine. It can
also immediately be used for the dabbing.
Blood
Many allergies and skin diseases have been cured this way:
A
naturopathic therapist with the knowledge and skills in the
AutoSanguis Therapy (also known as Auto-hemotherapy) takes blood from
the patient‘s vein, mixes it with adequate homeopathic remedies and
reapplies it via intramuscular injection . Applying only a small amount
of the own blood, activates the patients immune system. AutoSanguis
Therapy is an old, proven treatment that has been successfully used in
Europe for a long time.
