Dr. Oz Discusses Alternative Medicine Approaches, Techniques, and Methods
Today was a very good day on Dr. Oz, since the audience got a real education about healthy alternative therapeutic approaches, techniques, and methods.
Finally, the people who learn to find the value in some of these methods will reap a life-long benefit and improve their health while reducing back pain, alleviating allergies, and difficulty falling asleep.
My first response when the woman described her challenge with falling asleep at night was…a ‘Busy Mind’ presentation. That’s make sense to people who have been trained in TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine. You see when the person can’t stop worrying, can’t stop thinking about every little thing, can’t stop the endless chain of random thoughts or images racing through their minds, it is considered to be ‘busy’.
The breathing exercise and light device that Dr. Mao shared was a good beginning. The woman needs to balance the Earth Element, specifically the Spleen meridian energy. The best substance on the planet to do this quickly is: Pearl Powder. Pearl will calm the mind, pacify the spirit, and provide the calcium in a bio-available form which the nervous system uses to do its work.
The application of moxa or the technique of using needles wrapped with moxa or mugwort and burned to warm and stimulate circulation and the movement of chi in the muscles works wonders for many people who engage in sports. It is used when there is blood stagnation, too. That’s another story for another day…
I wouldn’t use kava or valerian for muscle pain or strain. Valerian can affect the heart, so use another method which doesn’t put any vital organ in the path. There are Essential Oils like Marjoram which are much better for muscle cramping than these two herbs that were mentioned. A nice massage or a CieAura PureRelief Holographic Chip placed where there is pain or discomfort will do a much better job than kava or valerian root.
The suggestion of chiropractic was reasonable if there is any subluxation associated with her back pain. Personally, bodywork is extremely effective for muscle pain and most bodyworkers use EOs and know how to address these issues, particularly when the pain is chronic or the person refuses to change their exercise routine or lifestyle choices.
The use of Peppermint Essential Oil in the saline solution for nasal relief from congestion and inflammation due to allergies is a very useful idea and it works very quickly. You simply MUST use pharmaceutical grade Essential Oils and just the fragrance of peppermint alone is insufficient. Peppermint is cooling and stimulating which is why there will be drainage… Visit Frontier and use the Menu to go to AuraCacia to get these Essential Oils.
Eucalyptus and Rosemary are also excellent accompaniments to the oil of Peppermint. But the long term benefit of alternative approaches to allergies is to strengthen and nourish the Immune System which can be accomplished with Chinese herbal formulations, herbs, and whole foods. That’s also a lengthy discussion we will save for another day!
Dr. Mao gets my strong approval, although the other two experts did make a good point for differential diagnosis. TCM practitioners are well-trained to find the cause before trying out treatments. It goes with the territory and that’s one reason why it has worked for billions of people for thousands of years.
If you want to pay attention to the costs of being healthy or wasting money on bad habits, then one of the best health ideas that I can share with you is to drink organic coffee. It is cost-effective and healthy for you. You could substitute coffee for chai on occasion or enjoy any number of organic herbal teas. But you simply must experience organic Kona Coffee:
By the way, ear candles have worked to rid the ear of debris like dead bug parts and small gravel and ‘gunk’ when used properly, despite what Dr. Oz thinks. And that’s a fact that we’ve proven again and again and again for over thirty years. So this time, Dr. Oz and his staff are WRONG for telling you that ear candles do not work. There is a right way to candle and many incorrect ways that inexperienced people try before figuring out how to candle properly.
Lastly, the home needs to be a healthy environment when you spend so much of your time in this location. From carpet to paint, to furniture, to household cleaning products; it all needs to be carefully chosen and maintained with one’s health being the most important aspect of the decision-making process. We’ve already talked about this in previous posts, so read some of them and go from there to make and keep your home a healthy place to live!
