Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Mel, I look at food as medicine. It can either kill you or heal you. It sounds like you need food for your kidneys. Cucumbers are one of the best foods for the kidneys. Eat them in salads or raita or juice them. EAt watermelon. You can even eat it for a day and that's all. you said you likee soups. Soups are one of the best for the kidneys because of all the water. just cut down on the salt. With a recipe like kitcheree, you can live on it forever. It has a complete protein, water, healing herbs, and lots of vitamins and minerals. Sprouts contain live enzymes and are very nutritious because they come from the very seed that contains all the nutrients that a plant needs to thrive. It will do the same for you body. Grow your own sprouts and they are cheap to grow. Put them on salads, soups, anything. We all have the power to control our own health to an extent. Doctors can asssist us but we make the ultimate decision on our health. I know from experience that we can reverse our illnesses. I have started to come down with a cold or flu and know certain herbs can knock it out and it usually works for me. When I wa in sixth grade, I was told that I had ot wear glasses for nearsightedness. All the doctors said i would wear glasses all my lifee and that my eyes would only get worse. I did a certain diet and yogic eye exercises and I only wear glasses when I drive. ( I'll have to start doing those exercises again.) There are certain herbs and diets and cleanses and formulas for the kidneys and the ovaries. If you would like more information on these, it would be best to contact me offline. I have been a yoga instructor for over 30 years and would recommend this one exericse in particular for the kidneys and ovaries.

First off, I haven't been checking the posts lately because of a lot of drama in my life. In short, I broke up with my boyfriend in a bad bad situation that ended with me in the hospital, major depression issues due to stress at work, illness from my endometriosis and now the boyfriend issue, and I have lost my job. My contract with the school district is not being renewed due to my excessive absences from school. I finish out the year but I will no longer have health insurance so I can't have my hysterectomy this summer like I wanted. New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 -I am remembering the *palming * exercise that I often did and the massage around the eyes. Palming is rubbing ones hands together to create *energy* and cupping your hands over your open eyes. This is a great exercise for tired and strained eyes. Better ask GB to make sure I am remembering how to do this correctly. I too think of food as medicine and often meditate on what my body needs daily.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Deanna, Yes, palming and those exercises are all good. Another simple one is to close your eyes and put your thumb between the eye and under the top of the eye socket. Gently push on this area where there is a notch under the skull. Many people do not like to do this because they have never massaged there and to them it feels weird.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yes it does. Feels like I'm going to dislocate my eyeball. Or I'm doing it wrong. I do often massage the bridge of my nose to my eyeballs. Does that make sense? Squeezing for some reason helps my sinuses. I massage my eyeballs all the time. A good reason not to wear eye makeup, lol. Beth Guru Khalsa <greatyoga wrote: Deanna, Yes, palming and those exercises are all good.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Beth, I'll explain it a different way. From your description, it seems as though you have your thumb pointed the wrong way - away from your face. I am not there to se it. Take your thumbs with fingertnail side of thumbs nearest your eye. Take the thumb and gently insert it (with the eyelids closed) above the eye and below the skull. It should fit in a notch near the nose. Massage this area. It may even feel like a headache kind of hurt. That's okay. just don't poke the eye itself, It should release a lot of tension in many people. It is good for some headaches.
