Two patients have had a Return of Old Symptoms this month, so I thought I would write about this amazing phenomenon that can happen to naturopathic patients. What is a Return of Old Symptoms? A Return of Old Symptoms is when, while someone is on their healing journey, they get symptoms of something they used to have chronically, many years ago. For example, Mrs. Apple came to her follow up [...]
"Don't think that *prana* is an Eastern concept unknown to the western mind. The 18th Century romantic poet William Blake wrote: Man has no Body distinct from the Soul! for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. Energy is the only life and is from the Body; and reason is the bound or outward circumference [...]

The living system seems to know and remember homeostasis, and will return to the most beneficial condition known after a stress or change has been introduced.

Check out the article here "The research claims to provide evidence for the concept of animals "inheriting" a memory of their ancestors' traumas, and responding as if they had lived the events" In my medical intuition training, it is recognized that people can carry generational memories from many generations past. Homeopathy takes this into consideration with what is called Miasms.

Each person is comprised of a different health history; nutritional, environmental, social, genetic, and psychological, to name a few influences. Even our physiology can be inherently different, human to human, without being expressed as abnormal, or displayed as disease. As we come to understand through medical intuition, “There are more things [...]
Keep gym clothes, shoes, and a yoga mat in your car at all times. You never know when you will get that extra hour due to a cancelled appointment, or delayed plans. You will feel exhilarated for the rest of your day knowing you are at a surplus of time and workouts!Drink 2 glasses of water as soon as you wake up. This sets the tone for the day, and [...]
en·gage /enˈgāj/ Verb 1.Occupy, attract, or involve (someone's interest or attention). 2.Cause someone to become involved in (a conversation or discussion).

When a person is feeling well, and is in equilibrium with their environment, the body is readily eliminating toxins efficiently. These toxins are the ones we come into contact daily ~ environmental from pollution, the pesticides and additives in our food, heavy metals in our water, pharmaceuticals, and mental negative self-talk, to name some. We eliminate through our breath, sweat, bowels, and mucous membranes. The body will create inflammation if [...]
