BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: THE NEGATIVE SCLERANTHUS STATE

admin — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 10:10:05 +0000

All actions of a negative Scleranthus man are delayed. By his very nature he delays and postpones work. Even when he knows that he has to do a work, he cannot make up his mind whether to start the work now or a little later or still a little later. Such people are usually what they call as “late Lateefs”. One of our patients who was a professor in a college had to resign her post because she was always late in reaching the office, and could never keep an appointment.
When he lies down in bed to sleep, all sorts of disorderly thoughts jumble in his brain and make him sleepless. If he falls ill, his temperature fluctuates—sometimes going up sometime, going down, his symptoms are every changing. So that the doctor cannot make head or tail of his symptoms— his physical condition is as unreliable as his mind.
Memory eludes him at the right moment. A student goes to the examination hall fully prepared for the examination. As he looks up the question paper, he is confident that he knows the answers to all questions. But when he starts writing the paper, his memory fails him, and he does the paper rather badly. He walks out of the examination hall thoroughly disgusted with himself. Once out of the examination hall, the memory comes back and he knows the correct answer to every question set in the paper—a case of memory delayed or postponed, a peculiar case for Scleranthus Remedy.
He may postpone an essential work and give priority to a non-essential work which is of interest to him. A boy may go on reading a novel till late in the night, but as soon as he holds a text book in his hand he starts yawning.
A young girl is late in starting to menstruate, a child is late in cutting teeth, in starting to walk or starting to talk-all functions are delayed.
At the time of coition the male organ ‘sleeps’ and at other times there are erections. At period time the bleeding starts from mouth or nose, instead of uterus.
Metastasis, the disease changes its form i.e gout when suppressed may turn into heart trouble, a suppressed catarrh may turn into headache and suppressed menses may take the form of chorea.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: HORNBEAM REMEDY – MRS. SAHNI’S CASE

admin — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 10:09:07 +0000

“Doctor Sahib, when a son was born to me after many prayers, I had vowed that I would get the child named at Gurdwara Hazur Sahib. The child is now 4 years old and is still being called by his nick name. I desparately want to honour my vow and take the child to that holy place immediately, but cannot summon enough mental strength to undertake this long journey. In the past whenever I made a programme to undertake this tour, a doubt assailed me whether I would be able to complete this mission without mishap, and I had to drop the programme”.
To help Mrs. Sahni to get over this predicament, a combination of HORN BEAM (to strengthen her mind) and GENTIAN (to remove uncertainty & doubt) was given T.D.S. for I week, after which she undertook her long journey with confidence and returned home after completing her mission happily.

THE TREATMENT OF SORE THROATS

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:00:14 +0000

The first measure to be taken at the sign of a sore throat is to paint the throat two or three times a day with concentrated whey (Molkosan), since this may actually arrest a case of incipient tonsillitis. Whey will destroy the germs on the surface of the tonsils and to some extent even in the crypts and channels of the throat. It will prevent the formation of toxins and help the body’s own defences to advance to the infected area. In fact, this condensed, natural lactic acid product made from whey has proved far superior to the strongest chemical disinfectants and is free from the harmful properties the latter may possess.

If this remedy is not handy, the pimpernel root (Pimpinella saxifraga) or imperial masterwort (Imperatoria ostruthium) fulfils the same purpose if you keep chewing it.

Thorough oral hygiene is essential. Frequent gargling with salt

water is good, or just suck a slice of lemon, unsweetened, every day, for lemon juice is equally effective. Make sure that the lemon skin has not been sprayed with pesticide. In chronic cases the use of special equipment may be necessary to clean the tonsils regularly and paint them afterwards with whey concentrate. Dr Roeder’s Apparatus, for example, is designed to suck the pus off the tonsils.

TAKING CARE OF THE EYES 2

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:35:07 +0000

Years ago, when we were not so eager to work overtime by artificial light and went to bed early, there were fewer people with painful, weak and tired eyes. So why not try a most extraordinary remedy? Why not turn the clock back and live for four weeks without electric light? How can you do this? Well, quite simply by doing without the convenience of modern lighting. You refrain from using this miracle of modern technology; you simply do not switch on the electric light. Your painful, burning, overtired eyes, which can no longer do their work efficiently, will respond to this care and rapidly recover.” But in j order to be well armed against the force of habit, you must plan j your day carefully so that when it gets dark, you will not bej tempted to turn on the light despite all your good intentions.

Years ago, the evenings were used to relax and recuperate and to prepare oneself for the rest that was to end the day. Try to do this for four weeks. It will help you to see and experience why ourl Creator has given us the different lights, the bright light of the sun by day and the gentle soothing moonlight by night. Just try to work hard in the soft moonlight. You will gladly desist. Why?! Because if you let its magic spell work on you like an age-old! lullaby, you will soon drop off and enjoy a deep, restful sleep.] Truly, if you make full use of the night for rest, you will wake cheerfully with the first gleam of daylight, without feeling drowse or still tired and sluggish. You will not feel morose and only partially rested, turning over on the other side to sleep on into the day. What you had intended doing by artificial light, you can do more cheerfully and with much less effort in the full light of the early morning. You will be amazed at what this compliance to nature’s laws can do for you; it will renew your energies and benefit your eyesight at the same time.

VIRUS INFLUENZA – INTRODUCTION

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:30:38 +0000

Although the epidemics that have hit Europe again and again for some decades no longer kill as many victims as at first, we must nevertheless regard influenza as a serious disease, especially when we consider its possible after effects. For example, it can cause pneumonia, or an acute deterioration of a chronic liver condition; it may also affect the kidneys, pancreas and abdominal organs. It is also possible for the myocardium to suffer and eczema to break out. Rheumatism can result from an improperly or incompletely treated bout of flu. All these after effects can possibly be prevented if treatment is given until the cure is complete.

INFANTS’ COMPLAINTS – CRADLE CAP (CRUSTA LACTEA) 2

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:25:46 +0000

If a baby is indirectly fed such drugs we must not be surprised to see its health adversely affected. So, if your baby has cradle cap, think about the drugs you might be taking. If you have the unpleasant habit of smoking, you should certainly give it up while you are breast-feeding. Think of your child. Would you want your baby’s health upset because your irresponsibility means it has to try and cope with poisonous nicotine?

Even during pregnancy nicotine has an adverse effect on the unborn child. You can prove this to yourself by means of a simple experiment. Place a stethoscope on the mother’s abdomen and count the child’s heartbeats. Then let the mother smoke just one cigarette and then count the beats again. You will note that they have increased by eight per minute! Once the mother and her partner have convinced themselves of this overstimulation, they will be in no doubt that the mother should give up smoking at once.

Certain foods can affect the mother’s milk in the same way as drugs. I have often seen a child’s cradle cap disappear within a few days if the mother avoids eating egg white. It is, therefore, especially important to adopt a healthy diet while breast-feeding, as set out in another section of this book. Nursing mothers should remember that they are eating for both themselves and the baby.

Try to breast-feed your baby for as long as possible. But if, in spite of changing your own diet, the child’s condition remains unaltered, then replace a meal by giving a bottle of almond milk or buttermilk. Babies suffering from cradle cap respond well to this less fatty food. Violaforce, the fresh plant extract made from wild pansy, can be added to buttermilk to enhance its curative effect.

ALCOHOL, NICOTINE AND RADIATION

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:21:00 +0000

It should be sufficiently well known today that alcohol in the body at the moment of conception may already have frightful consequences. It is therefore utterly irresponsible to beget and bear children while indulging in alcohol. Unfortunately, this often happens after parties where heavy drinking has taken place, even though such thoughtlessness may lead to a tragedy. Every mother-to-be should understand the risk and dangers of alcohol and make it her duty to abstain from it throughout her pregnancy.

It is equally irresponsible of women to smoke during pregnancy and while nursing. Research has shown that only a few hours after smoking, nicotine is already present in the mother’s milk. Who, then, can guarantee that during pregnancy the poison will not reach the placenta – and the unborn baby – just as quickly?

If at all possible, X-rays, radium therapy and any other type of radiation used in modern therapies should be avoided. Unfortunately, it is impossible to escape the radiation that contaminates the air as a result of nuclear explosion drifts, since it is not in our power to do anything about it.
