This plant has been used in the Chinese medicine for years as a remedy for menstrual cramps that occur in the menopause. This is an effective remedy for anemia caused by iron deficiency as well as for relieving PMS symptoms, especially stomach cramps.
We are beginning to understand why ayahuasca — yagé or “Grandmother Medicine” (a modern name that indicates respect) — is considered to be an entheogen, a substance that “reveals inner divinity.” This differs greatly from a hallucinogen or a psychedelic, in that visions and experiences under the influence of ayahuasca (as well as other known entheogens used in ceremonial context) can provide deep and meaningful — oftentimes uninhibited — insights into the nature of life, illness, and well-being, including revelations about the very fabric of existence itself. Experiences are seen and felt as “real,” as opposed to flat-out hallucinations, which ultimately are of little or no consequence, as they are mere mental stimulation, no matter how amusing. It is as if upon drinking the medicine a window to other worlds is opened to realities that exist right here and now, closely alongside our own. Boundaries and egos crumble. It is without doubt a shift of viewpoint, an extension of experience beyond ordinary consciousness. Nonetheless, regardless of how “real” the experience may be, or how accurate a reflection it allows of both outer and inner “reality,” there still exists the great risk of misinterpreting these “otherworldly” experiences and how they might relate to one’s life in the everyday world.
While science is always developing, the western world is slow to alter its ways in the face of evidence pointing to the dangers or inefficiency of new medicine and realizations that old treatments could replace current medicines. As ludicrous as this sounds, it is no different than some of the decisions we make with our health. Everyone could make some beneficial changes, and a woman’s well-being is often neglected due to these hard-sticking myths about our health. Here are 5 ‘medicines’ that can easily be replaced with more natural alternatives.
Medicine as we know it is undergoing change. Patients are not wanting to experience the kind of trauma that is associated with conventional medical care. They seek elsewhere the love, respect, and consideration that was found back in the days of Kahunas and folk healers to treat their illness.
It is my estimate that Healthcare of the future is going to incorporate an Energy Healing approach to it. Think of it like the discovery of X-rays (previously unknown and unmeasured), which in turn have led to CT scanners, CT angiography, and Interventional Radiology procedures which increase the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment, sparing patients exploratory surgery that was used in the past.
