Natural Healing - Anxiety

There are many treatment options available when it comes to the natural healing of anxiety. Many have been around for thousands of years and have proven to work time and time again. It should be noted however that if you feel that you have a serious problem with anxiety and/or panic disorder that it is important to speak with a medical professional. You could mention your interest in natural healing being a part of your treatment program. However if you are dealing with what might be called a regular amount of anxiety and wish to reduce it there are natural healing methods that you can consider.

First off there are the techniques to achieve relaxation. These may involve low impact sports or classes such as yoga or tai chi. These ancient rituals where built to keep the body in line with the mind and spirit. Breathing techniques are very important and could be considered a relaxation technique on their own. You can start with taking deep breaths and try to relax all the muscles in your body. This body awareness may reveal how much stress you are holding onto in your life. Next time you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, take notice of how you are breathing and how your muscles feel. It is likely that you are taking shorter breaths and have tense muscles. Do what you can to remedy the situation with your breathing techniques.

Natural healing can also be achieved with herbs. Natural herbs that have been known to help with insomnia and anxiety include passionflower, kava, and valerian. St. John's Wort is also a common remedy that can help with anxiety and/or depression problems. However, some have reported that St. John's Wort works rather well after about two weeks, but then trails off in effectiveness after a few months.

Pregnancy, Gall Stones, Bone Breaks - Natural Healing Takes Care of Them All

I just listened to a recording of A Healthier You Radio where a guest, Greg Wood, was talking about his experience using natural healing and herbs. This was just a regular guy who lived and ate like the majority of us here in the USA, meaning not very healthy. But he changed his lifestyle, and by doing so, totally changed his health and his life.

Three stories he told really stood out to me. The first is that he and his wife had been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for 5 years. They consulted with David Christopher of the School of Natural Healing and he told them a few simple diet changes to make and some herbs to start taking and within 6 months they conceived their first child.

The changes they made were not that hard. First, they eliminated dairy from their diet. Second they added more fresh foods like fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. Third they started on an herbal program of Dr. Christopher's Female Reproductive Formula, and Lower Bowell Formula.

These simple changes worked because once the body has been cleared of the toxins that build up after years of improper diet and nutrition, it is able to function and work as God intended. It only took 6 months for them to conceive after 5 years of trying other methods unsuccessfully. I have heard of this same outcome in numerous other cases of couples trying to conceive.

The second notable story he told is when he broke his collarbone mountain biking. All the doctors told him it was a nasty break and would probably require surgery and months of rehab to fix. He had cleaned up his diet by this time and simply added Dr. Christopher's Complete Tissue and Bone formula. He would take a lot every day and the break healed completely with no surgery. Also when he started taking the herbs a couple days after the break, he never needed pain medication after that.

Complete Tissue and Bone is an incredible formula. I have seen many examples of healing using this formula. I healed a very nasty saw cut on my thumb using it. I did not get stitches nor visit the doctor at any time during that healing process. My sister-in-law is a ballet dancer and broke her foot when she landed a leap wrong. With copious amounts of Complete Tissue and Bone she was able to heal her foot without being casted and without any surgery.

Complete Tissue and Bone delivers all of the nutrients and building blocks the body needs to heal tissue, bone, cartilage, and flesh.

The last notable story he told was about his battle with gall stones. One night he woke up in excruciating pain in his abdomen and did not know what it was. It quickly became so bad that he drove to the emergency room where he learned that he had between 30 to 40 gall stones in his gall bladder. The doctor told him the only way to remove them was surgery to remove the gall bladder.

Instead he did a 4 day juice cleanse. During those 4 days he did not eat anything. He alternated a glass of apple juice and a glass of distilled water every half hour all day long. He also added a little bit of olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice to the apple juice.

On the afternoon of the 4th day he passed the stones. The pains were gone and have never returned. Total cost for his cleanse was about $50 for 4 days worth of apple juice, distilled water, lemons, and olive oil. Total cost for the doctor's prescribed surgery would have run into several thousand dollars.

Greg Wood is just a normal guy who learned a few things about herbs and natural healing and was able to apply that knowledge in his life and it made a huge difference. His case is not exceptional either. I have now seen many, many situations just like Greg's where people drastically change their lives by gaining some knowledge and making the necessary changes to their lifestyle.

Have You Heard About Green Tea Natural Healing?

The first reference to green tea natural healing is found in the "Book of Tea", written by a Zen priest in 1191.  Priest Eisai described how drinking the beverage could have a positive effect on the five vital organs, in particular, the heart.  Modern research seems to support his statements.

The catechins and other polyphenols in the plant have anti-coagulant activity, similar to what is found in aspirin.  But, while aspirin is hard on the stomach and contributes to ulcers, green tea has been used to eliminate indigestion and help heal ulcers. 

Catechins have also been shown to lower total cholesterol levels, while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.  It has long been held that high cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease.  It is known that being overweight is hard on the heart.  Green tea natural healing benefits may help people lose weight, too.

Reliable research is limited concerning weight loss.  But, what there is indicates that people and animals burn more calories throughout the day and more fat during exercise when they drink a catechin enriched beverage or take a supplement.  A popular diet doctor claims that a person can lose 10 pounds in six weeks, just by switching from coffee to green tea.  Most doctors say that it is better for your health than coffee and just leave it at that.

The health problems caused by being overweight or obese are numerous.  One reason is that fat cells contribute to chronic inflammation.  We have known for many years that inflammation causes the pain of arthritis and other diseases.  But, only recently have we learned about chronic inflammation.

Inflammation is an immune system response to injury, illness or infection.  But, the inflammatory process does not always stop, as it should.  One of the green tea natural healing benefits is to act as an anti-inflammatory.  While our anti-inflammatory drugs are effective pain relievers, at least temporarily, they are not effective against chronic inflammation.  Natural anti-inflammatories, many of which are found in plants, are.

Chronic inflammation contributes to heart disease and allows cancer cells to grow and proliferate.  Many dietary factors contribute to the release of inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandins.  Other dietary factors stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory molecules.  This is an on-going process, every minute of every day.  The body is constantly striving to maintain balance.

Green tea natural healing has a positive affect on the balance, as do many other nutrients.  If there are not enough nutrients circulating in your bloodstream, the result is disease. People may think that an overweight or obese person could not have low levels of nutrients in their bloodstreams.  But studies have shown that they do.  In particular, they are often deficit in vitamin D and calcium.

If you want to live a long healthy life, you need to maintain a healthy weight.  You need to make good food choices and take an excellent multi-nutritional supplement. The best ones provide green tea natural healing effects, along with many other health benefits.
