BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: STAR OF BETEHLHEM – RAJIV’S & BALDEV’S CASES

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:33:10 +0000

Case No. 1: Rajiv fell from roof-top to the ground head on when he was only 3 years old. In a few minutes, before his mother knew what had happened, the child went upstairs all by himself.

Nobody took any further notice of this incident, and it was a thing of the past soon after. At the age of 12, Rajiv had his first epileptic fit.

It was only after the doctor asked the pointed question if the child had a head injury in early childhood that the incident of his fall from roof was recollected and confirmed. Star of Bethelhem given T.D.S for 6 months relieved the child from epileptic fits.

Case No. 2 : Eight years old Baldev was very much attached to his dog who was his playmate and companion for all the time that he was at home.

One day when the child was at school, Fanny (name of the dog) was over run & killed by a speeding truck on the road.

The shock was too much for Baldev to bear. He refused to eat or drink or even talk to anybody. He would not go to school and sat still on the bench in the lawn outside where he used to caress and play with the dog.

Fortunately a Bach practitioner was at hand, and he gave him CHICORY (for over- attachment to the dog) and star ofBethlehem (for the shock) T.D.S. After 15 days the boy was normal self and agreed to accept a similar dog to the deceased one.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: MUSTARD REMEDY – MISS DULARI’S CASE

admin — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 07:29:50 +0000

When Miss Dulari was married in a family which was very wellknown to her, there was no cause for any grievance and sadness. She had come from a well-to-do family and her in-laws were also rich. There was love between the two spouces and she got all the affection and respect that was due to her in her new home.

But she was not mixing freely in society and tried to avoid sitting in company.

Her mother-in-law felt very awkward when some of her relatives who had come from a distant place to see the girl and talk to her could only see the girl but could not have the pleasure of her company. When I asked Mrs. Dulari Saxena why she shirked society, she disclosed that she was subject to sudden & untimely fits of gloom and depression at her parent’s home. In fact she was averse to being married because of the above handicap. But the doctors who could not diagnose the cause of the trouble had assured that she would become alright after the marriage. » But the trouble persisted even after marriage, and now she avoided society, lest she gets such a fit in society and become an object of gossip amongst her in-law’s relatives.

She was given ‘Mimulus’ (for fear of depression) and ‘Mustard’ (for occasional fits of gloom) T.D.S for 4 weeks. She got only one slight attack in the first week of treatment. The medicines were continued for 8 weeks, after which she never got an attack of depression.

THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM – THE WHITE BLOODSTREAM

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:06:57 +0000

Even though the lymphatic vessels are much longer than all the red blood vessels together, our knowledge of the white bloodstream is still very limited. The lymphatic vessels, which are much finer than those of the red bloodstream, are distributed throughout the entire body. In contrast with the blood, the lymph flows only in one direction and the fluid is returned to the bloodstream after its task is completed. The body can be divided schematically into four parts in the form of a cross, starting at the navel. Each of these four fields more or less corresponds to a lymphatic network, with a centre located at the right and left side of the groin area and in each of the armpit regions. Smaller centres are also located below the lower jaw, at the right and left side. Leading to these centres, the lymph glands form little nodes, which reach their maximum size in the centre itself.

SAUERKRAUT WITH CALCIUM POWDER 2

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:05:28 +0000

If you buy the sauerkraut in a health food store instead of making if yourself, presuming it was made with very little salt, sprinkle a teaspoonful of one of the two powders over the sauerkraut, mix it well and let it stand for another day before eating it raw. Even though this quick method of making a calcium preparation is not quite as effective as the first method, the result is still better than proprietary calcium tablets. Incidentally, you can also mix a pinch of eggshell or oyster shell powder into salad dressings if you prepare these with lemon juice. The citric acid will dissolve some of the natural calcium in the shells, making the mineral more easily assimilate

TREATMENT OF PULMONARY DISEASES (PSYCHOLOGY)

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:04:01 +0000

Furthermore, it is of great importance to influence the patient psychologically. The glandular functions must be in good order, and this depends a great deal on his state of mind.

It is also important to stimulate the skin. Give the body a daily brush massage and afterwards apply a good skin oil containing natural herbal ingredients that stimulate the function of the skin.

That good bowel movement is necessary should go without saying. Indeed, proper functioning of the bowels and the kidneys is essential for the cure of practically any disease.

Lung patients who take this simple advice to heart will benefit greatly from their rest cures and will surprise their doctors by their speedy recovery. Always remember that it is important to try and rectify deficiencies and weaknesses anywhere in the body and not just one organ. It is then understandable why recovery is faster than usual.

ASTHMA – BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:02:38 +0000

Bronchial asthma is different from nervous asthma in that it is mainly triggered by certain climatic conditions. A change in environment generally brings about the desired cure. Living by the sea, where the air contains iodine, usually has a positive effect and asthma attacks will often disappear. High altitude often proves to be equally beneficial. An elevation of 900 m (2,800 feet) generally suffices, although sometimes an elevation of 1,000-1,400 m (3,600-4,500 feet) may be necessary to overcome the problem. The third alternative is the hot, dry air of the desert, which in many cases has helped to relieve asthmatic discomfort.

It is also possible that the spasms are caused by pollen in the air. This ‘seasonal asthma’ is similar to hay fever, which also results from sensitivity to pollen, an allergic reaction. If your domestic situation permits you to move to a different climatic zone you should do so, since a change of climate, together with the appropriate natural remedies, can lead to an eventual cure of bronchial asthma. Although a patient may be able to find suitable employment in an area where the climate would be more suitable, he may find it difficult to uproot himself from familiar surroundings and leave relatives and friends for a strange place, or his own family may be reluctant to move. It would, however, be a great pity if the patient could not receive the necessary support to move to a climate where he would find relief from his ailment.
