A word on alternative medicine:

 You have to keep in mind that most of the time, the body knows how to heal itself  « No medical treatment whatsoever, by drugs or even by surgery, is curative by itself. All healing comes from the same source: to bring to consciousness those forces which reside within the body, and which are the reflection of the creative Force of God. »

A reading of Edgar Cayce. What's needed is to help it, and above all, not to carelessly thwart its natural reactions (fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.)

Benefits of natural medicine:

 * The body avoids the undesirable side effects of drugs that are thought to be unavoidable.

 * We recover faster.

 * We let the body build antibodies, which will protect us during a new infection.

 Its disadvantage

Treatment should be started at the first sign of symptoms. Therefore:

 → Listen to your body. Immediately apply the appropriate solution to the problem you've noticed.

 → Always have the minimum

→ green clay (gastro, poisoning...)
→ baking soda (against acidity)
→ garlic (bronchitis, fatigue - infectious or not)
→ a lemon (angina)
→ honey (soothing , disinfectant)
→ an anti-inflammatory (bronchitis, osteoarthritis...)
→ a hot water bottle (stomach aches, earaches)
→ essential oil of eucalyptus Radiata (colds, flu)
→ essential oil of wintergreen (arthritis, torticollis...)
→ cider vinegar with whole apples (pharyngitis...)

on hand at home to deal with most everyday ailments.

Notes on Healing

 ⚠ You should see an improvement after 24 or 36 hours. Also if after 3 days the problem was not well on the way to healing, there is something else and you have to go see a doctor. Anyway, 3 days is the minimum time, recommended by the doctors themselves, to establish a good diagnosis.

 ⚠ We mistakenly think that with alternative medicine, healing takes longer. You'll see how wrong this is!

 « If we wanted to silence our prejudices, we would quickly understand the supreme wisdom of nature and our skepticism would quickly yield to its effectiveness. » [ Dr. Jarvis ]

 ⚠ Dorothee KoechlinDorothée Koechlin de Bizemont, medical journalist, is the French specialist of the American mystic Edgar Cayce after having worked for several years at the Edgar Cayce Foundation in the United States. insists on this point:

 « Cayce repeats over and over again that all disease is first built in the mind, cancer included! He constantly insists on the work to be done in our mind, in our spirit, and in terms of the hygiene of life. Illness is primarily a consequence of a twisted mental and emotional attitude! And no medicine will work if we don't correct our inner attitude. It is only by agreeing to work on our mind and our emotions that we have a chance to see the recipes work. »

If you are looking for a healer, an acupuncturist, a dowser... Dorothée Koechlin invites us to discover this (non-profit) organization:

 « There is in France a syndicate of healers known for the competence and honesty of its members. This is the GNOMA, whose headquarters are in Paris. I very often had recourse to the GNOMA (NATIONAL GROUP FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES) to treat me and I have never regretted it. »

If you're not in Paris, it doesn't matter. their website:

offers you a practitioner near you!

 -- ENT --

 ☞ The common cold

 ☞ Flu

 ☞ Sinusitis

 ☞ Angina / pharyngitis

 ☞ Bronchitis

=> Coronavirus:
 my humble contribution if you feel infected:

✱ At the first signs of a runny nose, see the chapter on the common cold.
✱ Apply flu and bronchitis treatments together.
The two most active remedies are the sitz bath (for a general mobilization of the body) and garlic (unequaled anti-viral for the bronchi), with honey as a booster.
✱ Against fatigue : try a "tonic" : in half a glass of water pour a big teaspoons of cider vinegar and a good teaspoon of honey.
✱ To fight both fatigue and infection, inhale camphor essential oil.

=> Earache, beginning of otitis?

✱ Rest your head on a hot water bottle covered with a towel (the dry heat helps with blood flow)
✱ Keep a cotton ball in the ear (to protect it from fresh air)
✱ Massage around the ear ( but not inside! ) with 2 drops of Eucalyptus Radiata or Lavender essential oil 3 times a day, until the pain is gone. « Eucalyptus radiata is anti-inflammatory, antitussive, decongestant and bronchodilator. It is especially at the time of infection that it is very useful. »
Dr. Dominique Rueff

=> Cough:

✱ painful ☞ Bronchitis
✱ just irritating: Garlic syrup
✱ To evacuate mucus from the throat: turnip syrup

__________

 -- Other conditions --

 ☞ Insomnia, anxiety

 ☞ Stomach pain

 ☞ Mouth problems (teeth, gums, breath...)

 ☞ Your eyes and the computer

 ☞ Rheumatisms. osteoarthritis  / sciatica  / back problems

=> Cramps:

✱ I solved my painful nighttime leg cramps by replacing my slippers with... socks. I have indeed noticed that when wearing slippers (especially flip-flops), my calves tense up when walking around the apartment.
✱ « Honey is a sedative that provides restful sleep. Acting on the body as a sedative. Add three teaspoons of cider vinegar to a cup of honey, then pour the mixture into a bottle that you'll keep by your bed. Start by taking two teaspoons of this mixture before going to bed.
 If you happen to have muscle cramps in your leg or foot at night, this remedy will solve the problem. »  [ Dr. Jarvis ]
Violent pains
✱ Lie on your back: straighten your legs, gently bring your toes towards you.
✱ Likewise, for a hand that tenses painfully after working too much: don't close it! on the contrary, stretch gently the fingers.
 Massage with 1-2 drops of wintergreen essential oil.
 For legs, walk for a few minutes barefoot or in socks.
✱ Spray with a mixture of 3/4 white vinegar, 1/4 water.

=> Paronychia, abscess

  or any subcutaneous infection:

Using a cotton swab, dab hot (simmering) water, barely bearable, on the painful part.
To renew 3-4 times a day. Usually 2-3 days of torture is enough.

=> Headaches:

✱ Depending on the location of the pain, massage the forehead, neck or temples with balmVicks Vaporub or with wintergreen essential oil.
✱ « It is obvious that the recovery of the individual prone to migraines depends on the control and elimination of the various generating factors of the alkaline reaction.
Daily absorption of the required acid dose should be increased by treatment with apple cider vinegar  ». [Dr. Jarvis]
✱ « Similarly, many migraines can be avoided with the use of honey. Two teaspoons of honey with each meal may well prevent an attack. » [ Dr. Jarvis]
✱  If you're not allowed to take any medication (e.g. if you're pregnant), try alternating arm baths: soak your forearms, for a full minute, alternately in a basin of cold and hot water. This will have the same effect as aspirin, which improves blood circulation to the head.

=> Torticollis, neck pain:

✱ 2-4 times a day, massage the neck with 2 drops of wintergreen essential oil.
 or with a muscle balm (Saint-Bernard type in France based on isoamyl salicylate and camphor).
 or with this astringent lotion.

=> Les vertiges :

✱  To stand up or change position: pinch your nose while exhaling through your nose. The slight increase in pressure will improve blood circulation in the inner ear.
✱  According to Dr Jarvis : « The underlying cause of vertigo is the alkaline reaction of urine. When the reaction becomes acidic, the dizziness disappears partly, if not completely. »
✱  In a small bottle, pour a small amount of white vinegar, 10 drops of lemon essential oil and 10 drops of mint essential oil. Breathe in the aroma when you feel unwell.
✱  Massage around the ears with 2 drops of wintergreen essential oil.

=> Constipation:

✱ Use an enema bulb filled with warm-hot water.
☞ Edgar Cayce's advice

=> Intoxication, poisoning:

☞ Clay.
☞ Apple cider vinegar has a sterilizing effect on the stomach. It is " one of the most powerful remedies for food poisoning ", reads elsewhere.
« Mix a teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water and drink a teaspoon every 5 minutes. Renew throughout the day. » [ Dr. Jarvis ]

=> Anemia:

Edgar Cayce indicates « There is nothing better, in case of anemia, than phosphorus! A shellfish soup will be very effective. And also, nothing is more useful for increasing red blood cells, than what we find in seafood: oysters, clams... »

=> Dandruff:

If your hair is too dry, on a weekend morning when you don't go out, rub yourself with a mixture of olive oil and water. Massage regularly and leave to act as much as possible.
Wheat germ oil is also effective but it has the great advantage of drying without being greasy.

=> Loss or fall of hair:

Every morning, rub them with a lotion made up of a decoction of rosemary, a little olive oil, a few drops of lemon essential oil, a teaspoon of cider vinegar and water.

=> Wrinkles:olive oil

=> Lose weight / overweight:

✱ Advice from Dr. Jarvis: « A woman whose dress is too tight can take, for several months, a glass of water containing 2 teaspoons cider vinegar. This helps to destroys excess fat. »
✱ consider iodine deficiency
✱ Edgar Cayce advises a « "'Apple diet', where you only eat raw apples (untreated, of course!) for three days, finishing this mini-cure with a coffee cup of olive oil. This cure has a depurative purpose: it makes you lose weight, corrects constipation, drains the body at the onset of winter. »
✱ In an impressive number of readings, he also prescribes grape juice as an absolute weapon against obesity.
 « Drink grape juice four times a day, at least four days a week: you can cut it with water, in the proportion of a glass of grape juice for a glass and a half of pure water; and this, about half an hour before each meal and before going to bed. » [a reading by Edgar Cayce]

=> Tiredness
  (transient or chronic, infectious or not)

✱ have some garlic ! You will be amazed at its effect.
✱ 2 drops of Black Spruce essential oil applied to the kidneys, 3 times a day.
✱ « One of the main causes of chronic fatigue is a deficiency in iodine and mineral salts, and seafood contains them in abundance. Dried beans are also recommended.
 Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink in one or two sips during the meal. » [ Dr. Jarvis ]
✱ Oats are a cereal recommended in case of fatigue.
✱ Clay , which plays a role in the acid-base balance of the body, helps fight against states of fatigue .
✱ The "tonic" : in half a glass of water pour 2 teaspoon of cider vinegar and two teaspoon of honey.

=> Pain in the feet, legs, varicose veins:

* Take off your slippers! Walk barefoot or with non-slip socks.
* Massage the leg with this astringent lotion.

APPENDICES

Clay

_ _

 Clay is the result of a millennia-long decomposition of rocks from the earth's crust. This process, which creates a very fine texture, ensures the material is loaded with minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, copper, sodium, and potassium.

Edgar Cayce advised consuming a little clay from time to time, to " balance health ". This is not surprising, clay (especially green) contains the most important minerals for human beings.

Superfine green clay (if possible dried in the sun) can be found in pharmacies.
Gently sprinkle the bottom of a teaspoon over half a glass of water. Stir well and drink (everything), immediately.

 « I've often tried putting a pinch of clay in the drinking water of sick animals, says Dorothée Koechlin. And I swear to you, they rush to it! As for us humans, if we need it, it's true that we find it tastes good! »

Many herbivores living in areas rich in toxic plants gorge themselves on their leaves during the day, and at night... on clay.

Clay absorbs toxins and poisons from the tissues and eliminates them from the body. Primates, elephants, giraffes eat it to heal themselves.
When turtles eat a poisonous plant, their natural instinct prompts them to swallow clay. The Ara parrot licks the clay in order to neutralize certain toxins in its daily diet (toxic and hallucinogenic berries).

The antimicrobial activity of natural clay was presented on April 6, 2008 during the 235th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

To demonstrate the anti-bacterial capacities of clay, one can quote this discovery in 1898, in a cemetery of the surroundings of Bordeaux, of a body deposited in full clay and which was still fresh after seven years.

Testimony January 2011: « I am 75 years old. 2 days ago around 5 p.m., vomiting, acute diarrhea, chills... Two doses of clay around 6 p.m. and around 9 p.m. (1 dose = 1 teaspoon of clay in a glass of water). Re-belotte at 4 o'clock in the night. In the morning, it was over, I didn't even remember having had a gastro! »

To learn more about the incredible benefits - and the limits - of clay you will find countless links on the Internet. For example: this one.

Garlic

Its multiple benefits :

 « Garlic lowers blood pressure in hypertensive people (1), regulates serum cholesterol (cholesterol is one of the lipids (fats) that circulate in the blood ) (2) and stimulates immunity by increasing the activity of macrophages (natural killer cells and the production of T and B cells) (3).

1/ Our updated meta-analysis of the effect of garlic on blood pressure« One study suggests that garlic is associated with a reduction in blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure, but not in those without it. » , which included 20 trials with 970 participants, showed a significant reduction in blood pressure.
 Chewing fresh garlic will maximally release allicin, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure.
 Its full effects in the body will be felt after an hour when the blood level stabilizes.

2/ A previously published meta-analysis of the effect of garlic on blood lipids, which included 39 primary RCTs and 2300 adults treated for at least 2 weeks, suggested that garlic was effective in reducing cholesterol.

3/ Clinical trials have shown that garlic significantly reduces the number, duration and severity of upper respiratory infections.
 Because garlic blocks the reproduction of microorganisms (like bacteria), it has antiseptic and antibacterial effects. » ( National Library of Medicine - NLM.gov)
Garlic is an unparalleled antibiotic for the bronchial tubes and a reconstituent, but only effective when chewed fresh. Cooked in food, it loses a lot of its action « When the bulb is cut or crushed, garlic releases an amino acid derivative called allicin. Allicin is responsible for garlic's characteristic smell and has medicinal properties. »

 « Garlic should be chewed fresh and should not be cooked. ».

Be careful, if the garlic is too old or of poor quality, it won't burn you, but it won't have any effect.

.

How to take garlic :

▪ Always after a meal.

▪ If you have a weak stomach, drink some clay

▪ Place the equivalent of half a olive in a small spoon filled with honey.

▪ Chew. The longer and more slowly you chew, the gentler it will be on your stomach, and the faster the effect.

If you are afraid of having bad breath, chew parsley (an excellent source of vitamin C) or a few cloves.

Garlic syrup

_ _

(very well accepted by children, even the smallest)

- peel 2-4 large cloves of garlic
- grate them in a saucepan
- boil then leave to infuse for 2 hours
- reheat a little more over low heat then pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Squeeze well to extract the juice. Add honey .
- give as much as you want several times a day

__________

Turnip syrup

(very good taste)
- cut a quarter of a turnip into small pieces
- put it in a glass and cover it with sugar
- place it in the fridge and wait about 6 hours
- a syrup will form, drink it several times a day

__________

Gargles

▪ Use quality apple cider vinegar with whole apples .
▪ Pour a teaspoon (no more !) of cider vinegar into a half glass of water and mix.
Stick to this dose even if it doesn't seem strong enough.
▪ Tilt your head back and sing! Produce deep ♫ AaaAhaa ♪ Ahaaah ♪ " type modulations, so that the product goes far down the throat.
If you swallow it, it does not matter, quite the contrary, cider vinegar is a remedy .
 Dr. Jarvis testifies:
« To my great surprise, I found (laboratory analysis) that this treatment could make sore throats with streptococci disappear in 24 hours and that a membrane on the tonsils disappeared within 12 hours.»

__________

Fever

_ _

It must be controlled and possibly limited, but it should not be systematically fought, even with a child, because it is one of the body's essential defense mechanisms against illness. Fever has two effects:

→ Putting the body on alert and general mobilization, because let's remember, even for a thorn in the foot that becomes infected, it is the whole that is mobilized: antibodies, acceleration of blood purification, fatigue to cause rest, loss of appetite so as not to tire the body (digestion/assimilation/elimination), sweating to eliminate toxins, bacteria traps (lymph nodes), etc.
→ The creation of an environment unfavorable to the reproduction of viruses

Also, analgesics (like xxxgan), which lower fever, are dangerous because: they prevent the body from mobilizing its defenses; they mask the symptoms; by making you feel better, they can lead to carelessness, such as stopping treatment early, smoking, going back to work, or going out in the cold.
So use them only thoughtfully, because fever is beneficial (provided you control it).

**

 « Sweat and fever are the body's two means of defence. By fever, excessive metabolites are burned; with sweat, they're eliminated. »
(Dr. A. Salmanoff : 'Secrets and wisdom of the body - medicine of the depths') Doctor Salmanoff was born in 1875 in Russia, in Gomel and died in 1964. He graduated from the faculties of Moscow, Berlin and Pavia. He was Lenin's personal physician and directed nearly all the spa treatments in the USSR. He had to emigrate from the USSR because he did not adhere to communism. Subsequently he became an extraordinary member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Italy and practiced in Paris.

**

 « Fever helps us in three ways:

* It activates the formation of some of our white blood cells—called macrophages—in our bone marrow. These are specialized cells that get rid of pathogens.
* It activates cells in our thymus, a gland located behind our sternum that plays an important role in our immune system. These cells, called lymphocytes, produce anti-inflammatory cytokines which then act on the infection.
* Through the perspiration it generates, fever allows us to eliminate a large number of toxins through the skin. It's much more effective than a sauna!
There is nothing better to help you heal when you have an infection.

If the fever does not exceed 39° and does not last more than three days, and no other symptoms appear, you must respect this fever. It allows the body to defend itself, without any drug molecule. » (Dr Dominique Rueff)

Anti-virals

_ _

Ravintsara essential oil

It's extracted by distilling the leaves of the Camphor tree (note that camphor essential oil or camphor rosemary includes active compounds from the wood and bark of the Camphor tree)

 « Ravintsara essential oil is probably the most powerful known natural antiviral (Jassim, 2003 and Wang 2004 have shown its action on the destruction of viral nucleic acids), it is antibacterial and it is also an excellent physical and psychological relaxant. Recent publications have been able to confirm its effectiveness, traditionally known, as a very powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant (2006 Lee) ». ( https://www.centrenaturoform.fr )
__________

Anti-inflammatories

_ _

Inflammation is one of the body's means of healing, but as with fever, it must not be allowed to exceed a certain threshold.

I/ internally:

▪ Anti-inflammatories (non-steroidal (which means without cortisone) or NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)) in the form of medicine (Ex: Brexin 10mg). To protect your stomach, take it with meals and if necessary after a small glass of clay.

▪ Aspirin is also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory; light but effective. If you take it effervescent, after meals and in small quantities (1/4 gram) you can take it 2-3 times a day without problem in the long termThe warnings about the risk of bleeding and rare diseases only apply to high doses or prolonged use. (Since I've had an ulcer, I was of course advised against it, but the doses mentioned here have never given me a stomach problem.).

▪ For prolonged use, try turmeric which is a natural anti-inflammatory.

▪ The product AINAT (not tried) is recommended for its absence of side effects if you need an effective anti-inflammatory over a long period.
It contains harpagophytum, curcumin (turmeric) and bromelain. For more information, go to the Applied Rheumatology Laboratory website.

II/ externally:

For painful joints, apply wintergreen essential oil several times a day .

__________

Turmeric

 « In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric has been used for millennia to treat inflammatory conditions.
 The anti-inflammatory action of turmeric is comparable to that of cortisone, phenylbutazone (used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It seems that turmeric works by inhibiting enzymes that participate in the synthesis of inflammatory substances - themselves derived from arachidonic acid - such as prostaglandins E2 and leukotrienes. It is thought to decrease the release of chemical mediators from cells and neutrophils. It also seems to increase the effect of cortisol on cells or perhaps even prolong the half-life of the latter and/or decrease its hepatic degradation. »
  (http://floramedicina.com/fr-article44.htm)

Article published by Dr Philippe Presles on 02/22/2010:
 « Turmeric is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory identified to date. It is effective against digestive inflammation and to prevent joint inflammation. »

How to consume it and at what dose?

 « Turmeric on its own is very poorly absorbed by the body because it doesn't cross the intestinal barrier. In fact, it's necessary to add black pepper to turmeric, which multiplies its absorption by 1,000 or even 2,000 times!

The other important point to know about turmeric is that it must also be dissolved in oil ( preferably olive oil ). Thus, in practice, it is recommended to add turmeric to sauces, vinaigrettes and other cooked dishes (soups, vegetables, rice, pasta...).
In practice, add half a teaspoon of turmeric to your dishes every day, without forgetting to pepper them (black pepper). »

__________

Wintergreen
(Prefer the "wintergreen lying down")

 « Wintergreen essential oil contains 90% methyl salicylate, which, when taken orally or applied to the skin, converts to salicylic acid— the same main active metabolite as the drug Aspirin. »

For painful joints, apply 1-2 drops to the painful area and massage in gently, several times a day.

→ You can supplement with a drop of lavender essential oil to enhance the effect and remove the wintergreen smell.

→ For a faster and more intense action, do not dilute it in vegetable oil.

→ Be careful, wintergreen essential oil is very strong.
If you massage yourself, wash your hands afterwards.
If you inhale it, take care that the bottle does not touch the inside of the nostril or the lips, it would sting you.

The clay paste

In a small resealable container (like a mini jam jar), mix green clay with with Clove powder (purchased in the spice section) "Clove is contraindicated throughout pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in children under 6 years old."
, 2-3 drops of Tea-tree « Tea Tree essential oil is often recommended for oral and dental conditions. Its high concentration of terpinen-4-ol, gamma and alpha-terpinene, with the presence of eucalyptol as a booster, gives it exceptional anti-infectious properties, even when diluted to 1%. Some studies have notably highlighted its ability to oppose the growth of bacteria by acting on their membrane permeability. Other more recent research has even demonstrated that gamma-terpinene is particularly active on the biofilm that constitutes dental plaque.
 Although it can be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, it remains more versatile in use than Clove. However, it has no effect on pain and its taste is not very pleasant. However, if you only have it on hand, it will still be very useful in case of a dental abscess. »
and very little water. You should get a thick, sticky batter (this property is important for healing a mouth ulcer or relieving the gums). To maintain this quality, renew the paste every week.

For very inflamed gums, include a pinch of turmeric powder and baking soda in the mixture.

To keep strong gums, massage them long and gently with the clay paste.

__________

The gingival paste

In a small resealable container (like a mini jam jar), pour:

 ✱ 3 volumes of clay

 ✱ one volume of baking soda (dissolves encrusted stains, cleanses and relieves inflamed gums and reduces the tartar by neutralizing oral acid which is responsible for ulcerations and oral inflammation« With a PH of 8.4, bicarbonate is slightly alkaline and neutralizes the effects of acidity. »)

 ✱ 1/2 volume of turmeric powder (antibacterial, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory)

 ✱ If the gums are sore, add a drop of Tea-tree essential oil.

Make a “smooth” mixture by adding very little water. Renew the dough every week.

Castor oil

Dorothée KoechlinDorothée Koechlin de Bizemont, a medical journalist, became the French specialist on the American mystic Edgar Cayce after working for several years at the Edgar Cayce Foundation in the United States. tells us:
 « Castor oil is extracted from the well-known shrub called in Latin "Palma christi". Cayce prescribed it nearly 570 times! That is to say if he considered it important! I tried it myself... It's great!

 This is not really a new remedy: it has always been known that castor oil is a powerful cathartic, that is to say a substance that causes catharsis, or rapid reaction of the body to get rid of toxins. »

 « After application, wash the skin with soap to rid it of the acidity and natural secretions that will have been caused by the poultice. »

Skin problems

→ Bunions, warts, dermatoses, cysts, benign tumors.

 Coat the skin with castor oil Buy Codex castor oil, the most natural possible , then put a woolen scarf over it (preferable to cotton) and place a hot water bottle over it ("source of dry heat that will keep this poultice warm for about an hour").

Internal disorders

→ cystitis and cholecystitis, hepatic and renal colic, all hepatic and digestive problems in general, colitis, colic, constipation, appendicitis; rheumatism, headaches, certain disorders of the nervous system such as epilepsy; nephritis, and even toxaemia of pregnancy. All the fevers...

 Since all these ailments come from internal poisoning, castor oil then acts as a catalyst in the elimination of poisons (Do not use castor oil poultices during menstruation).

 « The effect of these oil poultices is to energize, through absorption through the perspiratory system, the physico-chemical activities that produce a greater quantity of lymph, increasing the activity of the exchanges on the surface. This causes drainage which will allow the elimination of poisons »

 Apply the poultice several days in a row, for several hours in acute cases, until the pain is relieved and the symptoms improve, and on the area that corresponds to the organ (for example on the liver, in case hepatic colic, on the kidneys in the case of renal colic and stones, etc.).

__________

Astringent lotion

In a small bottle, pour:

 . a bottom of water
 . double the amount of white vinegar
 . 10-20 drops (depending on the quantity used previously) of peppermint essential oil and the same amount of lemon essential oil.

__________

Massages

Edgar Cayce says in an inspired message to him:

 « The reason why we recommend these massages deserves your attention: inactivity causes a weakening, a relaxation of certain areas along the spine, areas from which the nerve impulses go to the various organs. Some people receive more nerve stimulation than others, so massage restores balance by helping the ganglia receive nerve impulses as they should and this helps circulation through different parts of the body. »« Massage gently, along the spine (each vertebra is linked to an organ of the body), with olive oil. Each segment of the column, each vertebra, will be massaged. Rub well to work the oil into the body.
The massages go upwards, and towards the heart. Ask the patient to tell you what relieves him, or, on the contrary, what seems unpleasant to him, and which should be avoided. »

 In all diseases where the nervous system is failing, and there are many, Cayce ordered massages. He also considered it to be, anyway, a preventive treatment against rheumatism.
