NATURAL FIRST AID AT HOME

In my experience I have found having the 12 Tissues salts as an integral part of a home first aid kit invaluable. Ensure you have the pocket booklet to acompany it but see your doctor if symptoms persist. These are homepathic supports developed by Dr Schuessler a german doctor in the latter part of the 19th century. Germany is the foundation of the science of homeopathy. The advent of drug therapy has been a blessing as an adjunct to other therapies however the curse has been the human factor of over use, invalidation of other therapies (even if they have have stood the test of time) and money making pharmaceutical giants, causing a build up of toxic chemicals and the imbalance of vital nutrients and chi, in western populations.

Children and adults have bodies and minds that when out of balance clearly communicate that something is needed. These symptoms are telling us that care not attack, is required. Yet too often the interpretation of an illness, a physical symptom or ‘bad’ behaviour is seen as an enemy not a communication and the response is to fight this enemy rather than bring nurturing to the need.

There are times that require an intial fight mentality which is most often when imbalances have gone unnoticed for so long that illness takes over. We need to ensure safety first and treat problems that could become serious.

However chronic ongoing symptoms may or may not need an aggressive approach. If they do, for example in the case of depression then once anti depressants are established to keep a person from serious harm the treatment should not end here. This is where the real quest for understanding what the underlying need is that created this situation in the first place rather than ignoring and relying on the first urgent response. Looking at where the mind, body, emotions and even spirit are out of balance is crictical.

Especially insidious is the practice of reaching for drugs for children without any exploration of possible more natural supports. Working with our natural needs means taking a holistic approach. We can explore for possible emotional and mental issues that are telling through physical or behaviour problems of a need. The 7 Living Essentials promote a natural compassionate response to problems including physical ailments as a maojor part of a self care regime.

Children Problems with Prescription Drugs
Sad to say, all is not well at the MDs office and the pharmacy counter. Physicians prescribe drugs that are not needed, have not been approved for children, drugs that have serious side effects and drugs that are toxic and can cause death. The prescription of psychotropic drugs to children is one the most deplorable aspects of medical practice. In the USA, Harris stated: “As states begin to require that drug companies disclose their payments to doctors for lectures and other services, a pattern has emerged: psychiatrists earn more money from drug makers than doctors in any other specialty. How this money may be influencing psychiatrists and other doctors has become one of the most contentious issues in health care. For instance, the more psychiatrists have earned from drug makers, the more they have prescribed a new class of powerful medicines known as atypical antipsychotics to children, for whom the drugs are especially risky and mostly unapproved. Drug makers generally spend twice as much to market drugs as they do to research them. ” (New York Times June 2007)

To assist in restoring your own body and if you have children, your children’s health, new habits of what you reach for can be established and at your finger tips. Here is an opportunity to begin to return to natural restorative techniques for mild symptoms before running for drug therapy.
