BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: GORSE

admin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:22:52 +0000

Hopelessness, complete loss of faith, despair. Hope and faith are the main ingredients of thedriving force in man. A labourer toils through out the day in the hope of securing 2 square meals for his family. A young ambitious man works hard in the hope of reaching the pinnacle of success; a scientist denies himself many pleasures of life to find new discoveries in the hope of getting world recognition; and a dictator works ruthlessly in the hope of one day ruling the world.

Hope in the future is thus necessary to motivate any body to work.

GORSE embodies the soul quality of HOPE.

In the negative Gorse State, the person has lost faith in the future. Perhaps he has been driven to the stage of hopelessness by circumstances—a long and tortuous medical treatment has failed to relieve his trouble and the doctor has confessed that there is no treatment which can relieve him and he has to live with his troubles for the rest of life. Perhaps, he has tried many specialists under different systems of treatment, and has got no relief or temporary relief, and has now lost hope and stays resigned to fate. He may have convinced himself that his trouble being hereditary and he being at an advanced age, the process of disease-is irreversible.

A man deceived by a friend may lose faith in all other persons and a man denied justice in court of law may lose faith in the very institution of law and justice, and a devout religious person may lose faith in his Guru, and the religion itself after knowing the dark side of the private life of his religious leader.

Be as it is, the end result of loss of hope is disastrous for the individual and for the society at large. He has no motivation to work and progress for the benefit of himself or that of the society. He remains sad and depressed and tends to infect the surrounding atmosphere with loss of cheer.

If he falls ill, his recovery is difficult because without hope, the patient does not get well.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: DR. BACH’S PHILOSOPHY – REAL CAUSE OF THE DISEASED BODY

admin — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 12:29:53 +0000

Real cause of the diseased body is the imbalance caused in the harmonious working of the trio—the soul, the mind and the body. Physical symptoms are only an external exhibition of the mental disturbance within, and therefore have the least relevance in finding a suitable remedy for restoring health. A patient in our dispensary complained of constipation. Some days she used to have stomach-ache on drinking water. This instilled in her mind ‘fear of drinking water’ and she stopped drinking water. A few doses of Mimulus removed both—the fear and the constipation from her system.

The ultimate purpose of Bach Flower Remedies is to remove from the mind of the patient any obstruction which prevents his smooth flow of life which means the harmonious working of the body by the soul acting through mind. Sometimes, a slight change of life style, a small misunderstanding, or a mistaken view of his responsibility so alters his attitude to others that he becomes narrow-minded, and the perimeter of his working for the public good becomes much restricted.

To uproot diseased condition in a person, the following seven steps of the ladder may be noted:

(1) Peace (2) Hope (3) Happiness (4) Faith (5) Surety (6) Wisdom (7) Love.

WILD FRUITS AND BERRIES SEA BUCKTHORN HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES INTRODUCTION

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:46:27 +0000

There is hardly another shrub with edible berries that is so widely distributed as sea buckthorn. It can be found growing from the north of Portugal to the Pyrenees, across the Alps, then south in the Balkans, over in Turkey, and to the east in central Russia, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. If all the berries could be gathered and processed, they would be more than enough to cater for the vitamin ? requirement of all humankind.
Once our bodies have become deficient in vitamin C, we are much more liable to succumb to infectious diseases. That is why we should see to it that the deficiency is rectified, especially in springtime. Although barberrry and rose hip purees no doubt play an important part in correcting vitamin ? deficiencies, sea buckthorn berries are no less valuable in terms of their extremely high content of vitamin C. During the time of year when a wide selection of fresh vegetables are difficult to obtain, or very expensive, and fruits have lost part of their vitamin content because of long storage, the need for vitamins is even greater and many people like to tide themselves over the vitamin-poor period by eating Bio-Buckthorn-Conserve.

Vitamin ? has to be taken daily since the body can store only minute quantities. It is found in the endocrine glands, the suprarenal and pituitary glands, and there is no doubt that it is essential to the normal functioning of these important glands.
As a rule, cancer patients show a definite lack of this vitamin. It is therefore recommended that people with a predisposition to cancer and those who are victims already, increase their intake of foods that are rich in vitamin C.
To ensure good health, the daily intake of vitamin ? should not be less than 50 mg, and it is better if it can be obtained from such natural sources as sea buckthorn, raspberries, lemon juice and rose hip and barberry puree.

Sea buckthorn has even more to offer us than its high vitamin content. Its berries also contain other vitamins, for example, water-soluble vitamin B, fat-soluble provitamin A and even vitamin E. These natural, biological vitamins are vital for keeping the body healthy, fit and efficient. Various acids, such as malic and tartaric acids, have also been identified in these berries. The sea buckthorn berry seeds can also be used to produce an oil of which the dietary value is unquestionable.
If you suffer from constant infections and bleeding of the gums and mucous membranes, you would do well to take sea buckthorn products as a dietary supplement. Sea buckthorn berries being rich in many vitamins and trace elements, it is obvious that the products based on them are recommended for children and adults alike as food supplements and a tonic.
In Switzerland, sea buckthorn grows abundantly in the upper Inn valley and in Ticino, especially in the Maggia valley. When ripe, the orange-coloured berries nestling between olive-green leaves are quite conspicuous, and in the wintertime birds can be seen enjoying them to the full. We use sea buckthorn extract as one of the ingredients in our vitamin preparation called Bio-C-Lozenges.

WILD FRUITS AND BERRIES ROSE HIP TEA ROWAN BERRIES FRUCTUS SORBI

Having made the conserve, you will have the seeds, skin and some pulp left over. These can be dried and used for making tea, especially in winter. Rose hip tea is most beneficial. It has a delicate flavour and can be served with lemon or milk, according to taste. It is rich in silica and, perhaps for this reason, is an excellent kidney remedy. Seriously ill people who cannot take any other herbal infusion are quite safe with rose hip tea.
In the autumn, the rowan tree (European mountain ash) produces beautiful red berries. If you spread these berries out in a shady place and dry them, you will have a reliable remedy for hoarseness. Just chew them and the problem will quickly disappear. Also, some people in rural areas still make jam from the ripe berries.

A BRIEF GUIDE TO SELECTED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES ATROPA BELLADONNA BELLADONNA DEADLY NIGHTSHADE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE BRAIN

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 08:46:27 +0000

Belladonna can always be given with success where a condition is the result of poisoning, whether from an internal or external cause, and where it manifests itself in the nervous system and the brain, for example through headaches, a rush of blood to the head accompanied by a racing pulse, delirium and where every movement of the body, even a simple movement of the eyes, aggravates the condition. Belladonna 4x is indicated when an illness reaches a sudden crisis; when the patient is sensitive to light and his pupils are dilated; when the mucous membranes are dry, hot and inflamed

This attractive plant with its thick stems or branches and leaves is somewhat similar to the tobacco plant. However, its axillary flowers, dull brown to dark purple in colour, indicate that it is neither the tobacco plant nor the ground-cherry (Chinese lantern), but belladonna, the medicinal as well as deadly nightshade.
The ripe, shiny black berries often entice children to pick and eat them – with fatal results. Many a child has had to pay with his young life because of being tempted. On the other hand, in considering this plant we cannot overlook its many benefits, even though we are aware of its poisonous properties. As is true of people, plants can have good and bad characteristics, and this is the case with belladonna. It is known to have killed people, but it is also famed as a life-saver.
Belladonna is partly responsible for the rediscovery of the homoeopathic principle of similarity. Dr Hahnemann once found himself completely at a loss as to what remedy to prescribe for a sick woman, until an unconscious child was carried in to him.

The child’s face was suffused by a bluish-red colour and Hahnemann realised immediately what had happened when the father showed him the pretty black berries he had snatched from the child’s hands – belladonna poisoning! By chance, the physician noticed that there was an extraordinary similarity in the appearance of the women and the child; both had a bluish-red flush on the face. The causes were different but the results were the same. The doctor suddenly realised what he must do, the significance of which has only become fully recognised and appreciated in our time: ‘Similia simi-libus curantuf, the ancient Hippocratic teaching and principle of similarity.
As soon as Hahnemann had given the child something to make it vomit, he went out with the father, broke off a branch of the belladonna with flowers and fruit, and squeezed the whole thing into some water. By diluting it to about 4x he prepared the yellowish-green liquid into a medicine, which he then gave to the sick woman. Noting her reaction, the doctor followed this up with a second dose, and a few more, until the woman was finally out of danger. Thus, the child’s belladonna poisoning saved the woman’s life and at the same time brought about a deeper understanding and knowledge of another law of nature.

A BRIEF GUIDE TO SELECTED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES ACONITUM NAPELLUS ACONITE MONKSHOOD INTRODUCTION

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 08:46:27 +0000

The erect and splendid aconite, with its hood-like, blue-purple flowers, can be as poisonous as it is medicinal. This beautiful plant is known by many names, for example monkshood, friar’s cap, wolfbane and mousebane, and is native to the Swiss Alps. There you will find it on the alpine meadows, where the ground is rich, in damp hollows between low shrubs and in thinning woods right up to the highest elevation where the conifers grow.
Every part of the plant is highly poisonous. The whole plant, including the subsidiary tuber, which is developed from the root for the following year’s growth, is used to make a tincture for homoeopathic purposes. If this tincture was to be taken pure, it would result in certain death caused by cardiac paralysis and damage to the spinal cord. But diluted a thousand or one hundred thousand times, aconite becomes one of the best and most reliable homoeopathic medicines.
