The Best Medicines are the ones that nourish our bodies, have little or no side effects, are available to all of us, and prevent as well as soothe symptoms and restore our bodies back to our natural balance of health.
Laughter-Love-Positive Energy: For me these three are a given. When you surround yourself with these three things beautiful there is a special kind of healing that is more powerful than we give credit to.
Touch: As a massage therapist one of the first things we learned in school was the Gate Control Theory: this is the simple idea that touch, makes everything feel better. Its the reason why we immediately touch a wound or place of pain. It’s why mom rubs our tummies! I recently had a friend I care very much about tell me, his mother never rubbed his tummy when he was sick! I was astounded and sad! The power of touch is a force to be reckoned with.
Herbs: mmmmmmmmmmm Over the past 9 months the deep beliefs I had held onto became validated. There is an herb that can help our bodies in almost any way that common drugs can. little to 0 side effects and the pleasure of meeting the plant spirits that come with them. while I still feel new to this modality of healing it seems as though I have been doing it for centuries. There is an ancient ache that calls me to this practice, it is the eyes of my classmates and the heart in my chest that I find a deep knowing that Mother Nature is our best Medicine.
