Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Dear David, Queen of the Meadow or Gravel Root (Eupatorium fistulosum) is the only herb that I know of that actually dissolves unwanted calcium in the body. However , there is an excellent book by Clair Davis called " The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook " where the author explains how Trigger points can cause incredible damage to the muscles and bones of the body.He explains how to actually use self-treatment for pain releif. He states that, many times, the doctors and chiropractors are not actually treating the CAUSE of the bones going out of place. They just do a " quick fix " . In his book, he says that Trigger points are the reason the bones go back out of place. He describes how to find these point and by self massage, remove them, I , also, suffered whiplash along with other body injuires due to an athletic career. I found that using herbs has helped trmendously. I use Gravel Root to remove unwanted calcium depostis and actually make a tea with Horsetail to help the absorption of calcium where it is needed. .. One of the problems with whiplash is that the bones actually begin to loose their calcium - a tea of Horesetail helps the body retain the calcium. I use Dr. Dukes technique of simmering the horsetail for 2 hours to ensure that the silica is absorbed into the water and, of course, only use Horsetail that has been picked before it " flowers " ... If your cartilage is loosing its " sponginess " Turmeric is an excellent herb to take either as a tea, a tincture or just stir a tablespoon into a glass of water and take daily. Combining the herbs with the self massage techniques in the above book, may help you...it has me....Herbally yours Penny -- Penny Khaled http://www.geocities.com/pennykhaled75 http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk " Cheerfullness, sir, is the principle ingredient in the composition of Health " ..Arthur Murphy (18th C.

Penny, I know I am certainly gratefull for the information you gave. Many many years ago I was taking a herbal calcium capsule because I was told I do not absorb milk or bone calcium. I never did know what was in it just because I never read all the ingredients. But the person told me that it would also get rid of bone spurs in my foot. Which it did by the way. But now I have a name of the herb that does this. People thought I was and still am crazy to think something could take away calcium deposits. And I am going to see about this book too as I have fibro. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi Dave, Not an aromatherapy-approach, but why don't you take a look at EFT?

But what causes the Trigger points in the first place? Always look to your emotional energetics. Emotions are the root cause of all physical unbalance (pain, discomfort, illness, disease, etc.). Delve deep within your consciousness, ask yourself questions, you may gain your answer in daytime or in sleep dreams.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 EFT looks fascinating. Whether or not it helps my neck pain, it looks like it should prove useful. I will see if it helps my wife’s fibromyalgia, too. Thank you so much for this post! Dave Hi Dave, Not an aromatherapy-approach, but why don't you take a look at EFT?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Emotions are the root cause of all physical unbalance (pain, discomfort, illness, disease, etc) Well, I strongly agree that emotions are the basis of many illnesses and other conditions, but my neck vertebrae were injured in a number of incidents when I was younger (hoping to become a stuntman, I did a lot of crazy things back then). I’m convinced that there is a way to coax the body to heal itself.

You may want to heal, but unless a higher part of you is ready to heal nothing you do on a physical level is going to be permanent. You can try all your different remedies but unless you make the emotional/spiritual connection to your physical dis-ease, nothing you do will last. Discuss with yourself, while in a meditative state, why you felt you did the things you did when you were younger. The answer is not a mere " because I was young and did crazy things " . No, the answer is in a much higher place than that. Everything happens for a reason. The trick is to find the reason. You have the answer within you. You just have to dig for it. It's a choice - you can either consciously work diligently towards resolution, or you can let it heal on it's own (if ever it does) when you unconsciously stumble upon the answer (which can take many years if not a lifetime). However, if left unresolved in this lifetime, this issue will most assuredly follow you into the next.

But in the case of an accident, whether it be a child or an adult, if there was a certain emotion(s) going on with the person at the time of the accident that emotion can imbed itself in the body causing pain, etc. One may think that the pain is a result of the accident, when in fact it's the emotion(s) that the person was carrying around with them at the time. That's why I encourage exploring one's emotional constitution at the time of an incident, or with respect to any physical imbalance for that matter. If one is really in tune with one's body, they could pick up the emotional cause of a pain, etc. (whether an accident was involved or not) - like a persisting pain in the neck. Think of abuse - some big man fondles a little girl. The little girl, out of fear, holds her breath as he walks in the door and across the floor to her. The holding in of her breath is an act of suppressing her fear/anger. This fear/anger is never dealt with throughout the next 40 some years of her life and remains suppressed. The suppressed fear manifests itself in numerous ways - chronic bronchitis, asthma, shallow and rapid breathing pattern, etc. Once the now grown little girl is connected with the emotion behind her physical symptoms, the symptoms begin to clear up and she breaths easier and fuller, etc. Cancer - a boundary issue - for me that meant suppression of anger. Had I known 11 years ago what I know now, I would not have the 2.5 inch scar on my breast where a microscopic patch of cancer cells was removed. I was only 33 and am thankful I was already into dreamwork and " going inward " for it was in my dreams where I was guided to get a mammogram. I couldn't ignore the word " Mammogram " written across the vastness of my mind upon awakening now could I? Thank God the radiologist (I bypassed the oncologist/doctor and went straight to the radiologist) believed me and allowed the mammogram as there was no detectable lump. The chief oncologist used my case as the new standard in that hospital - let any young woman have a mammogram no matter her age or history - (this was a time when you had to be older to get a mammogram). Anyway, these days when I dream that I have cancer I know it's my way of telling myself that I'm suppressing my anger again. Sure enough, when I think about the day before, I'm suppressing. Another example: Cancer (breast) - a result of suppressing anger/rage. Subject knows it but isn't doing anything to change her ways. Cancer is treated with chemo and goes away. But because she's not taking care of her emotional energetics that ago along with her cancer, the cancer keeps returning, in various locations and form. Her doctor's prognosis: Her cancer won't kill her, but she'll have to be on chemo for the rest of her life. It's not her time to die as her will to live is strong. She's aware of this. It is, however, her time to do her " inner work " . If she chooses so and actively participates with an interactive approach, she may get herself off that damn chemo. Or, she can continue to let the problem fix itself, which of course it won't. By the way, this woman is my mother. > Teresea, I'm not saying that this is what you are saying or implying.

I KNOW what a powerful effect the emotions can have on the physical body. but... after awhile this whole " you can heal yourself if you just find the answer, or let go of .... whatever " and so on really can take on a " blame the victim " tone. If I were sufficiently spiritually enlightened I wouldn't have a lot of the ailments that I have. The fact that they are all caused by REAL physical phenomena seems to be ignored. An accident to a two year old child that leaves lifelong effects may or may NOT be due to a conscious choice made by that child's " higher self " .... But that doesn't affect the fact that the adult lives in pain because of something that happened decades ago. Teresea, I'm not saying that this is what you are saying or implying. But it's the feeling that I am getting from a lot of this thread.

I don’t see this line of discussion as being productive, once the info has been presented. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
