Supporting Your Third Degree Burns with Homeopathy

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Third degree burns are when the burn has damaged the deeper layers of skin. In some cases, the tissue can be destroyed. These are serious burns and you are likely to end up in hospital. Your treatment will probably consist of:

  • pain killers for the pain
  • antibiotics for the possibility of infection
  • surgery to remove dead tissue
  • surgery for skin grafting
  • further medication for any complications, such as dehydration

I know of a man who was taking 92 pills a day for his burn treatment.

What if I said that you could do all that with just one medicine? While I’m not suggesting for one moment, that you should take full responsibility for any third degree burns treatment, I am saying there are alternatives. There always are.

A professional homeopath would give you a high potency (strength) of just one medicine. And the most common one is Cantharis. Not everyone responds to Cantharis, but most do.

I well remember my homeopathic teacher telling me that the best way to help burns patients was to put this medicine in their drinking water.

You can safely take this medicine alongside any other treatment you are receiving.

Cantharis will stimulate your immune system to:

  • switch off the pain
  • speed up the healing
  • prevent or treat infection
  • prevent scarring

If the burn was some time ago, this medicine may still help you. If it was quite recent, it may still help you. But you may be suffering complications from it, and may need other more appropriate medicines. A professional homeopath will be able to help you there.

The best topical treatment for any burn is a solution of the herbal tincture Hypercal. This supports the internal medicine, Cantharis, in preventing infection, speeding the healing and preventing scarring.

Third degree burns are serious, but you can help yourself with the best homeopathic treatment, alongside any other treatment.

Ashiatsu Massage Training – Keep It Simple!

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

When I see people doing Ashiatsu massage on internet videos, I often see them trying to all kinds of funky techniques that are not supposed to be done with the feet.  I laugh because I know they all learned how to do barefoot from the same Ashiatsu massage training school!  lol.
 
Maybe it’s just because I am a man and have been using “tools” all my life.  I know when it is appropriate to use a hammer and when it is better to use a screwdriver!  By the same token I don’t try to do circular strokes on the scapulas with my feet!  lol!  The forearms are perfect for this job.  Now don’t get me wrong about the value of the feet.  They are way freaking good for the back, hamstrings, calves, the back of the arms and sometimes the quads….<u>if the person is big and tight enough to warrant using the feet</u>.  Once in a while I even get somebody that has just huge arms that need the power of Ashiatsu barefoot massage. 

Let me tell you, I am going to laugh so hard when I see massage therapists using their toes to work on people’s ears!  Ha! Ha! Ha!

Maybe it’s because I learned how to use the feet all on my own and because I have a lot of common sense.  The feet will never be able to do the technical massage strokes that the hands can do.  <b>Part of being a great massage therapist is knowing when and where to use the different tools.</b>  No, it doesn’t surprise me that people are being taught to do all kinds of techniques with the feet that have no business being done with the feet.  (When you are trying to fill a 25 hour class with information, you scrounge for stuff to fill it with!  You’ve got to give people their monies worth right?)  Wrong!  Ashiatsu massage therapists need to keep it simple and not be stupid!  I can just hear what their clients say after the massage…  “She tried to use her feet on my whole body, even my stomach.  I liked the feet on my back and on my legs but I wish she had at least used her hands on my arms.  I won’t go back to her again.” 

You can also use the feet to stretch facia if you put bolsters in the right places under the body.   Yes, you can do structural integration with the feet and you will crack a lot of backs too.  (No, the Rolfers and the chiropractors do not have patents on everything!  lololo!) 

Questions and Answers: 
 
No, Ashiatsu massage is not as good with the therapist sitting on a chair.  You cannot get near the pressure and you don’t have near the control as when you have solid bars built into the ceiling.  It is fun to experiment though so have at it. 

Yes, you can use crutches or a walker to do Ashiatsu on the floor but that is not as good as having solid bars and doing Ashiatsu on a table but it is a great way to be able to do Ashiatsu mobile though… on the beach, at the park, ect.  Using crutches takes practice but it can be done.  I got pretty good at it for a while. 

Yes, bars can be made from 1 1/4 inch closet rod material found at the hardware store.  Get uncle Joe to mount them to your ceiling and then paint them with a natural and safe coating.   I used a cashew tree resin varnish that I bought at the healthy building materials store. 

Yes, you may need an electric table if your ceiling is a standard 8′ in height and you are tall like me .  I have an Earthlite Ellora.  I highly recommend it and Massage king is the best place to buy it.   (Adding an electric lift table to your practice is a huge benefit for your body mechanics and massage abilities.  Every good mechanic has the ability to lift their work up and down to be able to get the right angle and leverage on it.)        

So, in conclusion, I would like to say, if you’re going to add Ashiatsu barefoot massage to your repertoire of massage abilities, don’t over-do it!  Use the feet to do simple, big strokes on large muscle groups and practice, practice practice as that makes perfect!

Treating Burns – Why You Should Use Homeopathy

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Treating burns at a homeopathic level is likely to prevent complications. Homeopathy doesn’’t actually treat any condition. What it does is to stimulate your immune system so that you can treat (and cure) you.

But your range of symptoms, related only to the burn in this case, needs to match a similar symptom picture in the homeopathic medicine.

This can need expert help. Luckily, most burns have a similar symptom picture, so the choice of the appropriate medicine is pretty simple.

Most people suffer with stinging or burning pains which are better when put in cold water.

The homeopathic medicine Cantharis has just that picture. So it is the best medicine for treating burns. It is likely to help in the majority of burns.

Because it has stimulated your immune system, you can expect to see:

  • the pain disappear
  • infections healed or prevented
  • risk of scarring reduced or eliminated
  • rapid healing

Having decided on the medicine, two further considerations need to be taken. One is the potency (or strength). As a home prescriber, you will only have access to low potencies. So for any serious burns, you need to see a professional homeopath, who may prescribe a high potency.

The second consideration is the frequency of dosing. This is unique to you, rather than at a predetermined time. You need to see an improvement of your symptoms (typically the pain, in this case) after a dose or a series of doses initially. When this returns, then you re-dose.

When treating burns, it’s also a ood idea to use the topical application of Hypercal, a diluted herbal mixture. This will support the internal medicine.

Wound Dressing May Not Be Necessary

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Any wound dressing is normally considered essential to promote healing. It is felt that the wound must be shielded from the risk of infection.

But in reality, this may not be necessary.

Healing is all about how healthy your immune system is. If it isn’t very healthy, then it’s likely that you will not be very effective at any healing. You may get a fever or an infection.

Those with a healthy immune system rarely get sick. Their immunity works so quickly, they don’t notice any problem. Wounds heal fast and rarely give trouble.

Wounds are also best left exposed to the open air. They are normally covered over with some wound dressing, to prevent infection. But if your immune system is in good shape, you won’t get an infection.

If your immune system is not so healthy, then you can stimulate it to prevent infection.

By using a homeopathic medicine which has strong properties of wound healing, and you experience benefit from taking it, then you can rest easy that all will be well.

Let me give you an example.

Some years ago, my mare had a fight with a fence. She came off worst. She tore the flesh around a back joint, to the extent I could see the bone. A little spurt of arterial blood shot heavenwards.

She only received homeopathic treatment. I treated her with the medicines internally, to stimulate her immune system into healing. And I sprayed diluted herbal tinctures, topically, on the wound to promote healing.

At no time did I consider the use of a wound dressing, even though she was lying down a lot, and getting soil into the wound. I knew her treatment would resolve the problem. And it did.

There is no residue of lameness, no residue of any problem related to muscle, tendon or ligament damage. Just a small scar is left.

One of the medicines she received both topically and orally, was Calendula. This is a remarkable homeopathic medicine with strong healing properties for any wound. It can promote healing, prevent infection, promote healthy granulations and resolve pain. Not one I would consider being without.

The Best System of Wound Healing is Homeopathic

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Wound healing is all about how healthy you are. If your immune system is not at its peak in performance, it’s likely that you will have a problem in healing any ailment, including any wounds.

It may be that you have all the signs and symptoms of a wound not healing. Symptoms such as:

  • pain
  • infection
  • offensive odour
  • no sign of healing
  • swelling

Or you may just have one or two signs. If your wound is not healing , then eventually the problem may become systemic and you may start to get a fever, malaise and a general feeling of not being right.

The best way to stimulate your body into action is to stimulate your immune system with an appropriate medicine which will start the healing process.

Homeopathy works by stimulating your immune system so that you can cure you. But you need to know which medicine is best for your condition. So make a short list of all the major and minor symptoms of the wound.

Then try to match them to an appropriate homeopathic medicine.

When you can do that, the medicine is likely to be beneficial for you.

The homeopathic medicine Calendula is a medicine known for its wound healing properties. Used topically (with a diluted solution of the tincture), it will promote healing.

Taken orally, in potency, it will stimulate your immune system.

This medicine has a particular focus on lacerated wounds – such as surgery wounds, caesar scars, episiotomy pains, knife wounds, etc. It also has a sensation, at the wound, of great chilliness.

It’s best to leave a wound open to the air, as this increases the healing  Wounds are normally covered up for fear of infection. If Calendula is working well for you, then the risk of infection is negligible.

Calendula has such a broad affinity for any and all wound healing, it’s unlikely not to work for your wound.

Fast and Efficient Wound Treatment is Holistic

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Even with the best wound treatment, wounds don’t always seem to heal. Your wound may be painful, it may get infected easily, it may swell, it may show no sign of healing at all. And some treatments can be worse than the wound itself.

Healing basically comes down to what condition your immune system is in. A healthy immune system doesn’t need any help in any wound treatment, even the most serious.

On the other hand, even the best health care won’t stimulate a healing if your immune system is compromised.

What you need is to stimulate your immune system. Only then can true healing begin. Only then will any wound treatment start to work.

The best way to stimulate your immune system, to start it healing any of your ailments, is to use homeopathy. This is how homeopathy works.

But you also need to select the most appropriate medicine for your condition.

To do this, you need to make a short list of your most important signs and symptoms which relate to your wound.

Then you need to match them to the most appropriate medicine. So let’s have a look at one of the most remarkable homeopathic medicines which heal almost every wound.

Calendula has a very broad scope at healing most wounds, but particularly lacerated wounds (such as surgery, caesar, episiotomy, knife wounds, etc) and wounds which are very sensitive to the cold. Having a wound dressed can be very uncomfortable, with it exposed to the cold air.

Calendula has the power to prevent any infection as well as to heal an existing infection.

There are two ways you can take Calendula, and both are best used together. Use a diluted solution of the tincture for topical application of an open wound or burn. And use the medicine in potency, orally, to stimulate your immune system.

Objective Tinnitus – Do You Suffer From Objective Tinnitus?

January 2nd, 2010  |  Published in Sexual Health

Objective Tinnitus Understanding which kind (or types) of tinnitus you undergo is crucial if you want to pull off a lasting cure. The two main types are objective and subjective tinnitus In this article, we are able to language close to precisely what objective tinnitus is. We’ll also talk up a proven holistic bill the current can supply you surrounded by a real cure for all varieties of objective, as favorably as subjective tinnitus. If you suffer from objective tinnitus, you are hearing real sounds. You’re not just imagining things. More specifically, you’re hearing sounds that are coming from within their body somewhere, sounds that people normally don’t hear. You may not realize it, but your body is making all sorts of noises (like your heart beating) all the time. But we usually don’t hear these sounds. Some are too faint to make it to our ears. But normally we don’t hear these sounds, even when they do reach our ears. When everything is working properly, our brains filter out any of these regular body sounds to keep us from being distracted by them. Objective Tinnitus Usually our brains block out the routine sounds like our breathing or heart beating. They only let through unusual sounds like your growling stomach or popping joints. If you’re an objective tinnitus sufferer on the other hand, some or all of the sounds that your brain would normally filter out do make it into your consciousness. When this happens, when your brain stops filtering out your bodies normal sounds, it can make your life miserable. To further complicate matters, many sufferers are afflicted with multiple types of tinnitus at once, which can make it hard to even determine if what you’re hearing is at least partly a (possibly distorted) version of your normal bodily sounds. When multiple types of tinnitus are involved in your situation, the traditional one issue at a time approach to a cure often fails. That’s why people who haven’t found a cure so far are turning toward holistic approaches to the problem. By treating all their forms of tinnitus at once, you can greatly increase the chances of a cure, even when more conventional approaches have failed. Suffering from Ringing Ears and Tinnitus?
