Real Medicine was here long before health issues. The planet is the apothecary for healing. The ancients knew what plant to use for rebalancing the body’s many systems. We are working hard in this contemporary world to return to that brilliance and relearning what they knew. The Real Medicine is found growing from the Mother Earth; she nurtures and heals, and we are grateful.
REAL MEDICINE I – HERBS
Real medicine is derived from organic foods, herbs, homeopathics, essential fatty acids, essential oils, massage, reflexology, and other natural, non-invasive means of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual support. We are always striving for balance.
Herbs are foods. Herbs and spices that we use in food preparation are not just flavor enhancers, they actually provide and address sources of nutrition, and various individual health related issues. Whatever we ingest into our bodies will either produce positive support or will decrease the health and well-being of the. body. This is applicable to humans of all ages, and the majority of animals on the planet. We would be amazed and surprised to know how similar humans and animals are in regard to nutrition and healing from nature and THE CREATOR’S MEDICINE.

REAL MEDICINE III – HOMEOPATHICS
In the late seventeen hundreds, physician Samuel Hahnemann devised a system of medicine known as Homeopathy. Homeopathics work with the Laws of Similars. Homeopathy consists of atoms that are secussed or pounded from substances releasing the energy from that substance that correlates to atoms found in the bodies of humans and animals that can gradually restore balance to a body that has become fatigued, challenged, or distressed. Homeopathics have no side effects when directions for use are followed. If overly administered, the body can experience a healing crisis or a quick onset of detoxification. There are many texts on Homepathics. This is a subtle, comfortable, and gradual way to heal.
REAL MEDICINE IV – FLOWER ESSENCES
FLOWER ESSENCES were founded by physician and bacteriologist, Dr. Edward Bach (pronounced Batch) from Oxford, England, in the late 1800’s. He cultivated this system with his assistant, Nora Weeks. Seeking remedies from plants that matched the frequencies or vibrations in the human neurology, he was able to promote healing in patients that prior to, were unsuccessful in healing their health imbalances through conventional methods.
REAL MEDICINE V: KINESIOLOGY & REFLEXOLOGY
KINESIOLOGY is a system that relies on the body to tell it its truth. It is often referred to as Muscle Testing. It really goes beyond this. While the brain will often alter information and contrive the data that “we want” it to tell us, the body will override the brain. This method is used very frequently in the purchase of products or wanting a “yes” or “no” response to questions to which the body may reply. There are numerous ways to use this tool. There are books that teach kinesiology and the many ways that it may be performed.
REFLEXOLOGY is a system of therapeutics that involves acupressure, NOT ACUPUNCTURE, an entirely different science. Acupressure or REFLEXOLOGY, opens up channels in the body to allow for greater blood and oxygen flow, which helps promote healing, detoxifies the body, and supports organ function. Many massage therapists are familiar with this form of therapy. This is a growing field of healing and endeavor. Reflexologists can be located in most every town in the United States and other countries as well.
REFLEXOLOGY can be performed on the feet, which house more than seven thousand nerve endings, the hands, and the interior molding of the ears, which symbolizes the unborn infant in the birth canal in the natural birthing position. Eunice Ingram’s REFLEXOLOGY charts make it possible for anyone to apply pressure to areas of the body where there may be an indication of imbalance. More information is available in texts, clinics, and online.
