The idea of willingly entering an ice bath may seem more like an act of self-torture than a therapy. As crazy as it may be, ice bath therapy has become a topic of great interest, especially with the popularity of Wim Hof, also known as “The Iceman.” He films himself taking plunges in ice baths and swimming in frigid conditions, all the while singing and smiling. And health experts have measured his health and the findings are remarkable. 

Ice baths, or cold water immersion or cold hydrotherapy, are a less extreme version of cryotherapy. Cryotherapy treatments usually expose users to temperatures that are 150 degrees Fahrenheit, or colder, below zero. While ice baths are not as arctic, they are still cold, make no mistake about that. Ice baths tend to stand at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but there are electronically-controlled polar plunges that keep the water at a chilled temperature of your choice without the need for ice. 

Current Research On Ice Baths

There are multiple studies that show the pros and cons of ice baths. As is true with most research on a therapy, there are two sides to the equation: one supporting side and one negative side. For example, a 2017 study suggests that previous ideas about ice baths for athletes are flawed. That study argued that active recovery, like 10 minutes of low-intensity exercise on a stationary bike, is just as beneficial for muscle repair as ice baths. That said, there are researchers that believe in the use of ice bath therapy. Right after a workout, your muscles want to cool down, and immersing them in a cold environment can accelerate this process. 

Ice baths are not just for professional athletes and fitness aficionados, though. An ice bath is an energizing experience because it wakes up the cells in your body. The immediate shock of the cold throws your body into a fight-or-flight response. Embracing that stress can help you harness the adrenaline, while also helping to lower inflammation. The blood vessels constrict and that can help bring down swelling. Continue reading to learn about other reasons why you should get into an ice bath. 

Boost Your Mental Health

The initial ice bath experience is never a fun one. It can be a bit painful, but after acclimating your body to the cold and doing breathwork, you can relax in the cold. The ice bath draws your focus to your breath and you become awake and present in the moment. By waking up your cells and coming face to face with the stress, you can handle stress in a better way outside the ice bath. It may not seem like it after the first few baths, but over time you start to notice the mental health benefits

Aid Muscle Recovery

When you expose your body to the cold, your blood vessels constrict and they rapidly open upon emerging from the water. This drastic change in temperatures can help flush the muscles’ metabolic waste products. Rapidly dilating your blood vessels also increases the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to your muscles. This process can help accelerate the recovery process after a hard workout, which may lead to less muscle pain later on. 

Improve Circulation

When you submerge in cold water, the blood rushes to your muscles and vital organs. Your heart needs to work harder as a result, so you pump blood through your vessels and give your body more oxygen and nutrients. Similarly, a 10-minute fast-paced walk can give you a circulatory boost. If you don’t want to walk it out, though, enter the cold and experience the same benefits. 

Enhance Immune Function

A 2014 study found that people were able to improve immune response via cold water immersion, meditation, and deep breathing. Participants were exposed to bacterial infection, and the ones that used those three techniques experienced fewer symptoms and produced a stronger anti-inflammatory response. When you are able to decrease the amount of inflammation in the body, your immune system has an easier time fighting off foreign invaders. In a 2016 study, people who took cold showers were 30% less likely to call in sick for work or school. 

Reduce Stress

If you experience chronic stress, it’s time to enter the cold. Cold stimulation, especially in the neck area, stimulates the vagus nerve, which may help lower heart rate and reduce stress. A 2014 review of hydrotherapy treatments found that cold exposure like an ice bath can boost central nervous system (CNS) function. When your CNS is functioning optimally, not only do your stress levels decrease, but you can also experience better quality sleep.

In the days of Ancient Rome, taking a bath was a fundamental right for city dwellers. People went to large, communal bathing centers that housed marble statues and captivating mosaics. In Japanese culture, a ritual that is practiced to this day involves bathing in onsen, traditional bath house. Cultures around the world embrace immersive bathing, so there must be a benefit to this practice, right? 

The act of submerging the body in water is an enjoyable, relaxing experience. Studies found that taking a bath works to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which puts the body in the “rest and digest” state. This aids with stress and anxiety reduction. For example, if you’ve ever had a bad day and taken a bath after dinner, you understand how transformative that bath can be for your mood. Bathing does not merely benefit mental health, though. In fact, there are many physical benefits to soaking in a soothing bath. Continue reading to find out more. 

Baths Reduce The Risk Of Heart Disease

There are many benefits to hydrotherapy, or standing under a cold shower, but shivering is not for everyone. A 2020 study monitored the habitual bathing habits of 30,000 people in Japan over a 20-year period. The results indicated that regular time in the tub reduced the risk of heart disease by 28%. The frequency of bathing mattered more than the temperature of the water. People who enjoyed lukewarm, warm, or hot baths almost every day received the most cardiovascular benefits. 

Baths May Encourage Hormonal Balance

According to several studies, bathing in warm water can aid the release of serotonin, which is arguably the most well-known neurotransmitter. It’s associated with overall happiness and well-being. Alternatively, bathing in a tub of cold water may help to relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. Colder temperatures encourage the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic (ACTH). This helps to balance other hormones like beta endorphin and cortisol. Establishing this balance helps to reduce stress and boost overall mood

Baths Promote Better Sleep

If there is an easy, relaxing way to encourage better sleep, incorporate it into your daily regimen and don’t ask questions. One of the primary benefits of soaking in a bath, specifically in the evening, is that it helps encourage better sleep. One study monitored two groups of people, one of which include people between ages 17-22, and the other had people between the ages of 65-82. The study found that the younger adults felt warmer, while older participants reported an ability to fall asleep more quickly. Additionally, the overall quality of sleep improved. The belief is that an evening bath helps to dilate the skin’s blood vessels, helping the body release excess heat to cool down for bed. 

Baths Help You Breathe Easier

Submerging the body in water and only having the head above the water has a positive influence on the lungs. This aids with optimal oxygen intake and helps improve lung capacity. Both the temperature of the water and the pressure of the water on the chest contribute to improved breathing. Warmer water tends to cause the heart to beat faster, which improves the body’s ability to intake oxygen. Additionally, if there is steam from the heat, it helps to clear up the sinuses and airways in your chest. 

Baths Regulate Body Temperature

When it’s hot outside, going for a swim in a refreshing pool, lake, or ocean is the best way to cool the body down. After exposure to colder weather, taking a warm bath is the best way to warm up the body. Evidence shows that, despite the temperature of the weather, a natural body of water like a bath has a way of regulating body temperature. 

As you can tell from this article, there are many benefits of soaking in a bath. Fill up the tub and hop in! Try to soak for at least 20 minutes when you take a bath for maximum benefits.

People around the world have been using steam in the form of steam baths for thousands of years to promote good health and well-being. Many people use steam therapy as a part of their normal health routine. Another term for steam is hyperthermia.

Hippocrates was the first strong advocate of the healing powers of steam. He said, “Give me the power to create a fever and I shall cure any disease.” This view on steam therapy has traveled from ancient time to today, where it is still widely used and accepted.

Benefits of Steam

Some of the known health benefits of steam include:

  • Detoxification of the body
  • Easier breathing
  • Stress relief
  • Muscle aches and pains
  • Increased circulation
  • Cleansing of the skin
  • Boosted immune system

Steam is an excellent way to open the pores and release toxins built up in the body. Heat naturally speeds up the body’s processes. As the pores open and numerous sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of toxic waste products that have built up over time. Western medical studies have shown that hyperthermia (steam) is an effective detoxification program for eliminating fat-stored toxins from the body.

Steam heat therapy can help such ailments as arthritis, gout, and Tendinitis. Steam even improves cardiovascular health. Steam treatments stimulate the body’s cardiovascular system. Within 15-20 minutes of steam exposure, the heart’s pulse rate can increase from 75 to between 100 and 150 beats per minute. This gives your heart and arteries a healthy workout.

Steam therapy is very beneficial to the skin on our faces as well. Steam helps to keep the skin from becoming dehydrated. The hyperthermia therapy is an easy way to reduce the existence of many common skin conditions. Some that are easily alleviated with the use of steam include:

How to Perform Steam Therapy

Whether you sit in a steam room or perform facial steaming, either will ultimately be beneficial to your health and well being. Facial steaming should be performed for no longer than 10 minutes at a time.

This can be performed at home by boiling a pot of water, placing a large towel over your head and placing your head over the pot while using the towel to trap the steam in. Inhale the vapors of the steam. The benefits of aromatherapy can be combined with this process by adding a few drops of essential oil of Eucalyptus and Pine to the boiling water. This will enhance the healing effect of the steam.

This therapy will not only cleanse and refine the skin on the face. It will also act as a natural decongestant for the nose and lungs. This treatment is especially beneficial when suffering from any sort of sickness.

Steam rooms are a great way to steam the whole body at once. As with facial steaming, avoid any extended periods of time in the steam. More is not always better. Start steaming your body on a regular basis and you will notice the results. If you do not have access to a steam room, taking a hot bath will do the trick too.

Steaming is great way to keep the health and vitality of your entire body. Treat your body well and it will do wonderful things.

Cancer is defined by the National Cancer Institute as a disease “in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.”

There are actually more than 100 different types of cancer, which are usually named for the organ or cell-type where the disease starts. That said, cancer is organized into these categories:

  • Carcinoma – cancer that starts in the skin
  • Sarcoma – cancer that starts in the bone or musculo-skeletal system
  • Leukemia – cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow
  • Lymphoma or myeloma – cancer that starts in the lymph system or immune system
  • Central nervous system – cancer that starts in the brain, spinal column or nervous system

Tumors exist in two states: benign and malignant. Benign means “not fatal or pernicious.” Malignant means “highly injurious, pernicious or fatal.”

More than 1.6 million people are diagnosed with some type of cancer each year. Of those, more than 577,000 will die.

Causes and Risk Factors

No one really knows why some people get cancer and others don’t, so discussion is generally more focused on risk factors. Known risk factors are:

  • Age
  • Tobacco use
  • Alcohol use
  • Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight
  • Exposure to chemicals and other toxins
  • Exposure to ionizing radiation (such as radioactive fallout, xrays, radon gas, etc.)
  • Some viruses and bacteria such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Epstein-Barr, Human papilloma virus (HPV), Human immunodeficiency disorder (HIV)
  • Artificial hormone use such as medication containing estrogen and progestin (most commonly used to alleviate symptoms of menopause)
  • Family history and genetics
  • Poor diet
  • Lack of physical exercise
  • Being overweight

Symptoms

Cancer patients/suffers begin to get thin and this is caused by an internal “eating up” process where certain cells start attacking other cells. While an “eating up” is taking place in the body, a neoplasm characterized by the uncontrolled growth of anaplastic cells invade surrounding tissue, which metastasizes.

There are no specific symptoms with cancer. However, there are signs that may mean immediate attention is needed, including:

  • Lumps
  • Skin abrasians or discoloration
  • Persistent cough
  • Change in bowel movements or urination
  • Blood in the stool or urine
  • Unexplained anemia
  • Hoarseness
  • Swollen glands
  • Changes to warts or moles
  • Persistent nausea, indigestion or trouble swallowing or eating
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Persistent fever
  • Non-healing sores
  • Persistent headache, muscle ache or bone ache

The Dangers of Chemotherapy and Radiation

Western medicine’s approach to treating cancer is the cut, slash and burn technique that usually involves surgery combined with radiation or chemotherapy treatment.

Chemotherapy is chemical therapy designed to kill the cancer cells. The challenge is that the immune system doesn’t always distinguish the difference between the cancer cells and healthy cells, making chemotherapy a physically difficult treatment. Side effects can be severe, including vomiting, hair loss and other issues.

Radiation is based upon the toxic element “radium oxide“, a serious poison to the human body. Radiation treatment leads to radium neuritis and myalgia. Radiation is used under the illogical premise of killing the cancerous cells in the body, but how are you going to kill the cancerous cells of the body without harming and killing the good/beneficial cells of the body?

In the East, the doctors don’t tell the patient that they have a fatal disease and only have a certain amount of time to live. However, they do tell family members.

Healing Options

In healing cancer, first and foremost, you need a strong and positive mindset and strong will to live.

OXYGEN/OZONE Therapy

These therapies are big in Europe where they are also legal unlike here in the United States. If you have an oxygen machine or ozonator and a body bag/suit, oxygenate or ozonate yourself twice daily (45-60 minutes). The oxygen or ozone will penetrate your skin and saturate your blood killing cancer cells instantly. You can also take oxygen/ozone baths daily. In these baths, you leave the machine going while in the tub. An oxygen/ozone bath should be anywhere from 1-2 hours. You can enhance this bath by adding a few pounds of sea salt (to alkalize the water) and MSM sulfur. Every glass of water should be oxygenated or ozonated in addition to being alkaline. If you don’t have an oxygen or ozone machine, you may add oxygen drops (20-30 drops per glass) or 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide (1/8 of an ounce) to your water. You can also add these to your bath water if you don’t have an oxygen or ozone machine. Oxygenated oil (Oz-Oil) can be used to rub the entire body down with so as to help oxygenate the body.

MAGNETS

Magnets may help to shrink tumors. Magnet strength sizes 4,600 gauss to 14,000 gauss are ideal. The higher the better! Never sleep with magnets above your eyes (preventing brain ionization). The magnets should be applied to the tumor and left on.

CRYSTAL THERAPY

Crystals work on the energy level where cancer begins. Crystals can cause cancer frequencies to change and thus rapidly begin the core healing aspect.

COLON CLEANSING

Colonics and enemas are essential in healing from cancer, especially colon and rectal cancers. Colon-cleansing herbs include Cascara Sagrada, Senna, Buckthorn, Aloe Vera resin, Rhubarb, Bilwa, Bibitaki, Jalap Root, and Glucommanan to name a few. Bentonite clay (liquid form) helps to remove heavy metal toxins from the colon as well as mucoidal plaque. Drinking Aloe Vera juice is very soothing and healing to the colon. Aloe Vera juice is very alkalizing.

Dietary Intervention

A healthy diet is crucial in preventing cancer. This means eating plenty of foods that are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. This includes whole-grain breads and cereals and 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Also, a healthy diet means limiting foods high in fat (such as butter, whole milk, fried foods, and red meat).

The best foods to eat to eradicate cancer are green colored foods – kale, parsley, spinach, greens, cabbage, broccoli, etc. Greens foods are great alkaline foods saturated with nutrients. Green drinks or veggie cocktails drank daily are exceptional.

VEGETABLES

Just about all vegetables should and can be eaten. Green vegetables and vegetables with color are best! Vegetables loaded with enzymes, minerals, and other valuable nutrients. Do not cook the vegetables.

FRUITS

Melons are the best fruits to eat in healing from cancer followed by various berries, especially those with antioxidant properties (blueberries, Goji, lycii, elderberry, etc.). Citrus fruits, in spite of their natural acids, are very alkaline.

HERBS

You will want to use blood cleansing herbs such as Echinacea (purpurea, pallida or angustifolia), Goldenseal root, Chickweed, Manjistha, Yellow Dock, Cerasee, Burdock Root and Dandelion Root. Blood cleansing herbs will also cleanse the lymphatic fluid too. You will also want to use tissue rebuilding and repairing herbs too, such as Comfrey Root, Burdock Root, Sarsaparilla and Chaparral.

Immune boosting herbs are also ideal in healing from cancer. These herbs include Suma, Ginseng, Astragalus, Echinacea, Goldenseal, Pau D’Arco (LaPacho), Cat’s Claw, Yew Tips and Codonopsis to name a few. These herbs stimulate the body’s natural anti-cancer defenses. They increase the activity of natural killer cells, which recognize and destroy cancer cells at first sight and improve the efficacy of interferon.

SEAWEEDS

Seaweeds are very oxygenating, alkalizing and nutritious. The best seaweeds to consume are Super Blue Green algae, Chlorella, Spirulina, Dulse, Irish Moss and Kelp. Seaweeds will eradicate the damaging effects of radiation from radiation treatment.

MUSHROOMS

You will want to use the healing and therapeutic mushrooms Reishi, Maitake and Shitake. Maitake is the most potent of the healing mushrooms. These mushrooms should be taken in extract form. These mushrooms greatly help to dissolve tumor growth.

WATER

Hydrotherapy can be used in the healing regimen for cancer. The best water to drink for healing purposes is alkaline water followed by distilled water.

VITAMIN B-17 (Laetrile)

Leatrile/Vitamin B-17 is banned in the U.S. in drug form, but it is plentiful in Wheat Grass. Drink plenty of wheat grass to get as much Vitamin B-17 as you can.

The post Endometriosis appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Endometriosis is a uterine disorder that affects many American women. Endometriosis is an abnormal gynecological condition characterized by unusual ectopic growth and function of endometrial tissue.

The ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel (colon), pelvic floor, urinary bladder, uterine musculature, peritoneum (membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity) and the deep pelvic peritoneal cavity are the common sites of growths of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity.

The abnormal implants of endometriosis respond to the hormonal changes regulating menstruation and, like the uterine lining, these fragments construct tissue monthly and then break down or destruct and bleed.

Endometriosis and Ovarian Cysts

There is an unhealthy symbiosis between endometriosis and ovarian cysts, medically known as ovarial endometrial cysts.

Ovarian cysts are nothing but accumulated liquid toxic waste and thick, congealed menstrual blood that is dark in color and held together by mucus. Ovarian cysts cause pain due to their growth and pressing against other organs and nerves in the pelvic cavity. Ovarian cysts grow fast based upon poor diets.

If you are experiencing heavy menstrual blood flow (hypermenorrhea), releasing of small, moderate, to large blood clots from the vagina; pain (in the uterus, lower back, etc.), painful sexual intercourse, infertility, premenstrual vaginal staining of blood, and chronic constipation, chances are you may be suffering from endometriosis.

Causes

Unlike the blood from the uterine lining, the blood from the implants has no way of exiting the body and therefore the surrounding uterine tissue slowly absorbs the blood from the abnormal implants. The condition is also known as retrograde menstruation, since the blood doesn’t leave the body, but instead is absorbed into it.

Cells from the endometrium (lining of the uterus) also develop elsewhere in the abdominal cavity of the female body. During this slow process, blood accumulates in the body cavities and the process of bleeding and absorbing is generally quite painful.

Symptoms

This condition produces various symptoms such as severe and excruciating pain in the uterus, lower back, and pelvic cavity organs before and during menstruation, pain during the actual menses, excessive bleeding and expulsion of large clots and shreds of uterine tissue during the menses, and in some cases nausea and vomiting.

Additionally, endometriosis can cause severe pain in a subsequent pregnancy because in pregnancy the uterus enlarges and the various organs in the abdominal cavity are pushed into different positions.

Natural Healing

Herbs

Female-specific herbs that are oxytocic and parturient in nature are great for healing the uterus and eradicating all uterine diseases. Uterine and/or oxytocic-specific* herbs include: Squawvine*, Ashoka, Blue Cohosh*, Pennyroyal*, Rue*, Shatawari, Eucommia, Chaste Tree berries (Vitex), False Unicorn Root, Fo Ti, Rehmannia, Yarrow, and Bayberry.

Female specific herbs with a hormonal stimulating effect on the body are ideal in restoring overall female health and uterine health in particular and include such herbs as: Canada Snakeroot, Black Cohosh, Maca, Red Raspberry leaf, Red Clover tops, Black Haw, Beth Root, Lovage, Wild Yam root, Licorice, Sarsaparilla, Dong Quai, Ashwagandha, Blessed Thistle, Damiana, Muira Puama, Saw Palmetto berries, Oatstraw, Sage.

Herbs that address menstrual irregularities will greatly help in addressing endometriosis. These herbs include: Canada Snakeroot, Lady’s Mantle, Shepherd’s Purse, Beth Root, Black Haw, Angelica, Dong Quai, Goldenseal Root, Burdock Root, Black Cohosh, Comfrey Root, Cranesbill, Dragon’s Blood, False Unicorn Root, Squawvine, and Yarrow.

Aromatherapy

Essential oils are paramount in holistic healing as the aroma from the oils affects the mind, spirit, emotions and etheric body. Essential oils with a female hormonal effect can greatly help to heal uterine and other female complaints and disorders. These oils include: Rose Geranium, Clary Sage, Pennyroyal (use cautiously), Rue (use cautiously), Cananga, Fennel, Angelica, Combava, and Vitex (Chaste Tree).

Crystals

No healing regimen is complete without the use of crystals, the greatest energy amplifiers on the planet. Crystals with an affinity for the female reproductive chamber are imperative in healing from any female reproductive chamber and include such crystals as: Quartz, Ammonite, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, Jade, Carnelian, Chrysocolla, and Zincite.

No healing regimen or therapy is replete or complete without chakra alignment or balancing. Remember, all disease first occurs on the energetic level.

Colon Therapy

Colonics are effective in dissolving hardened fecal and mucoidal debris in the colon. When you cleanse the colon you begin the cleansing process of all other eliminative channels. There can be no healing without an emphasis on cleansing out the colon.

If you are unable to afford a colon session (which are usually priced at $60-70 per session, then purchase an enema bag and perform weekly enemas. Cleaning out the rectum is better than doing nothing at all.

Hydrotherapy

Hot sea salt baths which are very therapeutic. The bath should consist of hot water, sea salt (1-3 boxes), MSM sulfur (or sulphur) (1 cup), crystals (named above); and essential oils (named above, 2-4 drops each). The bath (actually a soak for the first 30-45 minutes) can be taken daily.

Acupuncture / Acupressure

These therapies work on the chi (energy) and get it moving again in the case of blockage. All disease is first energetic and these therapies deal with energy.

Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen is a most effective therapy. It is unfortunate oxygen therapies are banned in the U.S. despite proven facts that oxygen helps to heal, especially since lack of oxygen plays a pivotal role in degeneration and disease. The cells thrive off of oxygen and when you introduce more oxygen into the body, the cells’ communication ability restores and the innate healing effect of the body accelerates. The prohibition of oxygen therapies by your government is what you pay for with your tax dollars.

Massage Therapy

Because massage is intimate and requires trust and to effectively heal, you must open up (let your wall or guard down). When you open up, you automatically let go and “letting go” is what a lot of women) need to do in order to heal and move on in their lives. Most people, especially females, are holding on to negative and self-defeating and sabotaging thoughts (which affect their emotional state and feelings) and these thoughts lodge in the tissues of the body and alter the individual frequency and resonance of the particular body part or organ, manifesting disease as a sensor that something is wrong on a deeper, emotional, and energetic level.

Massage, especially deep tissue massage, is very therapeutic and healing because deep pressure into the tissues not only dissolves knots but also the negative and toxic thoughts lingering in the knot. When a massage therapist tells you that you have knots in your body (e.g. back), those knots are not liquid filled, but energy filled. You can actually feel them dissolve when a therapist applies pressure to the area.

Massage greatly helps to release all those negative emotions and feelings we hold in certain parts of our body. The feeling of shouldering too much responsibility stores in our shoulders. Feeling like we are carrying the weight of the world or others (family, friends, etc.) on our back stores in our back (as well as the feeling of feeling backed against a wall); people, events, and circumstances that feel like a “pain in the neck” to you actually store in your neck.

We actually feel everything we say and think, believe it or not; and unfortunately, a lot of us have thought and said and still think and say negative things. Negative and unproductive thinking needs to be put in check because our bodies literally believe every word we say.

Pranic Healing / Reiki

These two therapies are just as ideal as chakra alignment and balancing because they deal with healing via energy and again, all disease is first energetic. Whereas chakra alignment/balancing uses crystals, pranic healing and reiki uses the hands. Pranic healing does not require actual touch whereas reiki does; but a crystal grid around the person while undergoing a pranic healing or reiki session will undoubtedly enhance the effect of the energy.

Magnetic Therapy

Magnet therapy is great for healing because magnets alkalize the body and improve circulation to problem areas. Magnets cause blood vessels to dilate and thus improve blood flow in the body. Magnetic therapy should never be used on the belly (Sacral Chakra) area of a pregnant woman.

Anti-Gravity Therapy

Anti-gravity exercises where the body is slanted and the feet are raised higher than the head are great in healing uterine complaints and disorders such as endometriosis because when the body is in a slanted position with the feet raised higher than the head gravity now works for you rather than against you. Lying on an anti-gravity board or simply with your feet raised higher than your head (back and head on the ground or floor and legs propped up on a sofa or chair) causes gravity to pull on the uterus and helps put the uterus and other organs back in place. This method has a profound effect on the whole body and causes hardened substances to break up and become movable for elimination.

Fasting

Fasting is a natural healing method that induces the body to go into a natural cleansing mode without the help of any outside agents or substances. The one drawback of fasting is that it requires discipline. Fasting is very effective in healing any and all ailments and complaints.

Mineral Therapy

The most important mineral required in remedying reproductive complaints and disorders is zinc. Not zinc derived from an inorganic source, but organic zinc, e.g. zinc phosphate. Organic zinc can be assimilated by the body, but not zinc oxide (derived from metals or stone). Zinc is important for uterine health because the uterus is chiefly comprised of the mineral zinc and when the uterus is impaired and becomes defective, it loses necessary zinc.

Zinc can be found in the following foods and herbs: Pumpkin Seeds (a/k/a Papitas), Sunflower Seeds, Cocculus Root, False Unicorn Root, Irish Moss (and all other seaweeds), and Fenugreek Seed.

Dietary Intervention

Dairy foods are strongly tied to the development of endometriosis.

To heal, women must give up meat, dairy products, refined grains and starches and other processed chemicals and so-called foods and should consciously embrace a vegan and/or raw foods diet consisting of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, and grains.

Vegetable juice is very alkalizing and healing. For endometriosis, make sure you consume a lot of vegetable juice containing asparagus and beets.

Positive Thinking and Attitude

Healthy and positive thinking is so important. Being emotional by nature makes females more sensitive and intuitive than males generally. Females in general, African-American females in particular are greatly out of sync with their feminine grace and essence today. External pathologies denote internal or inner imbalance. A positive mindset that thinks healthy, right, and positive impacts a person’s outer circumstances and their physical health. This is the best and greatest incentive for positive, right, and healthy thinking.

Saying daily affirmations and performing mediation can greatly help transform the mind in a positive light. We can really change our lives by the thoughts we think and the feelings we feel on a daily and consistent basis. Our lives are truly in our own hands to shape and mold as we see fit. You are the master of your own destiny and fate.

Because menopause is a part of the normal but unnatural female menstrual cycle, menopause too is normal but unnatural.

Menopause denotes the termination of the menstrual cycle in a female. Menopause derives from Latin “menses” meaning ‘month’, and Greek “pauses” meaning ‘to cease’ and is defined as: the cessation of menses. Menses stop naturally with the decline of cyclic hormonal production and function between 45 and 60 years of age but may stop earlier in life as a result of illness or the surgical removal of the uterus or both ovaries. As the production of ovarian estrogen and pituitary gonadotropins decreases, ovulation and menstruation become less frequent and eventually stop. Fluctuations in the circulating levels of these hormones occur as the levels decline. Hot flashes are the only nearly universal symptom of the menopause.

Menopause is mostly a phenomenon with Western women-especially in the capital of disease aka the United States – however, menopause is making its way to Africa, the Orient/Asia, and other countries of the East due to the pervasive standard American diet and the fast food industry. With democracy comes disease, and disease of every kind.

Menopause’s History

Female menstruation was originally an activity based upon the female energy body discharging toxic energy via vibrational menstruum every 28 days (under the original lunar calendar). Females dumped off toxic and stale energy on the emotional, etheric, astral, mental, and spiritual levels. But due to an inner defect that developed over past millennia, an imbalance occurred which today has manifested physically with the process of menstruation.

And because whatever comes out of the physical menstruation exists on the astral level, females also have an astral menstrual cycle. Astral menstruum toxicity is created with the physical menstruation since the physical menstruation releases toxins. The physical blood (menstruum) is a carrier base for toxic emotions. Females release their emotional toxicity via their menstrual cycle. This can be truly beneficial for the conscious woman who can will or bring on her menstruation at will.

Menopause can trigger a host of symptoms, including hot flashes, fatigue, vaginal dryness, insomnia, anxiety, and even depression. The depression linked to (or stemming from) menopause deals with the refusal to accept the biological fact that the “motherhood” days are over.

Menopause is connected to uterine and ovarian health, but it is mainly tied to the uterus, which is the seat of female emotions located at the Second Chakra (also known as the Sacral Plexus).

Menopause and Hysterectomies

On a physical level, menopause also denotes necrosis of the uterus. But just because the uterus has atrophied doesn’t mean a woman doesn’t need her uterus. She was born with it so she should die (transition) with it. It is the seat of the female brain and female emotions and intuition. This is a highly prized and important organ in the female body. It should not be removed under any circumstances. Many women who reach menopause are unwisely opting to have their uterus removed via hysterectomies but hysterectomies are unnecessary.

Hysterectomies are big business, just as all surgeries are big business. Doctors and hospitals make a lot of money via surgery.

Hysterectomies were first performed for purposes of preventing women from being hysterical as hysteria was seen as a neurosis or a psychological problem. The origin of hysterectomy was to cure “hysteria.”

Women who have their uterus removed instantly enter menopause. The uterus is an eliminative organ. Removal of the eliminative organ [uterus] means the elimination process of the uterus must now fall on the shoulders of another part of the female body. Clearly, this new locale for healing and elimination falls on the neck, hence “hot flashes” and “sweating.” This is a compensatory function for removal of the uterus. Well, why then do women who keep their uterus still experience hot flashes and sweating? Answer: acute uterine atrophy or an almost fully dead uterus due to toxicity. Women undergoing chemotherapy for cancer will also experience hot flashes.

The foregoing applies to very unhealthy women, women who over the years ate poorly (a lot of meat and dairy products, refined grains and starches, junk food, and fats food) and lived negatively (smoked cigarettes, did drugs, drank spirits and wine, took birth control pills and other pharmaceutical drugs), who were sexually indiscriminate and abused their vaginas and who may have contracted various STDs; and who suffocated their vaginas with tight underwear, clothing, and tampons.

Healthy women (usually vegan-vegetarian and raw food eaters) do not experience menopause like the average woman, who is unhealthy and not health-conscious. Their symptoms are very mild; however, if there is severe emotional balance, then they may experience a cumbersome transitional period.

Healing Menopause Naturally

Since menopause is inevitable for many women, the best advice is to prepare for the transition.

Develop a positive mental attitude. Only focus on good things. Yes, this will take some time and effort which is why so many people have invested in negative thinking and made it routine.

Your thoughts create your reality so when it comes to aging, think about and/or visualize yourself aging gracefully and smoothly. See it and feel it in advance. Stop responding to what you observe in other women who have experienced menopause. Women who constantly complain about their hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms send energy to what they are complaining about which causes what they are complaining about (menopause and its symptoms) to magnify. Where thought goes, energy flows.

Your emotions impact your feeling and/or how you feel. Deal with all of your emotional issues. Too many women hold on to negative emotions or emotions that don’t serve their best interests. Negative emotions are stored in the tissues of a woman’s uterus. Remember, the uterus is located above the Second Chakra, which is the seat of emotions for a female, in addition to her sexuality and relationships with lovers.

Stale energy can be released via deep breathing. Give yoga a try, or stretching and chakra balancing also help to remove stale energy.

Release stale energy and negative emotions, e.g. anger, bitterness, regret, jealousy, envy, wanting to get revenge, apathy, etc. They are no good for your health and block you from receiving your true desires, e.g. true love, wealth, abundance, prosperity, success, peace, and happiness.

Convert to a healthy lifestyle. Refrain from vices such as smoking cigarettes, drinking wine and spirits, wearing unhealthy clothing, using harmful hygiene products (especially commercial brand female sanitary products), and indiscriminate sex with unworthy partners.

Exercise in whatever method you most enjoy. Walk daily (in proper shoes and on sand, grass, or dirt). Swim, stretch; perform yoga, tai chi, qi chong, pilates, etc.

Perform crystal therapy or have it performed on you by a trans-crystal therapist. Excellent stones and crystals that help in cases of all female complaints including menopause include Carnelian, Ammonite, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, Green Jade, and Moonstone. These crystals and gemstones can be laid directly on the skin of the belly and right above the vagina (for about 15-30 minutes per day while meditating).

Perform hydrotherapy (utilizing aromatherapy). Hydrotherapy is water therapy. Read the article entitled the “Benefits of Hydrotherapy and Steam” to learn and/or understand more about this healing modality. Aromatherapy is invaluable in addressing menopause. Good essential oils to use (burn in a diffuser, to inhale, or to add to bath water) include Rose Geranium, Clary Sage, Combava, Fennel, Cananga, Pink Lotus, Blue Yarrow, and Angelica.

To cool and soothe hot flashes, place a bottle of rose water (hydrosol) in the refrigerator (to keep cool) and when the need arises, spray the mist over the back of the neck area.

Dietary Intervention

Modify your diet. Refrain from eating animal flesh, dairy products, refined grains and starches, and processed foodstuffs.

Eat more raw fruits and vegetables (organic, if possible). Consider a vegan and/or raw foods diet.

Drink plenty of water and good herbal teas that benefit the female hormonal system, herbs such as:
