IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

Case Study 1

     Mani was a 30-year-old man who came to us more than 11 years ago with diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). His complains were – he has to pass stools frequently– unto 10 times a day, indigestion, flatulence and loss of weight. Whenever he felts nervous or anxious, he had to immediately rush to the toilet. It was very embarrassing, tiring and depressing condition for him, so much so, that he was contemplating to commit suicide.

     With the flower essence combinations for Anxiety, Fearfulness & Nervousness – his condition improved in six months. Very soon, his stools frequency reduced, digestion improved. He could sleep well and gained weight. Above all, his mental & emotional state stabilized. He no more felt like a victim of fears and anxiety. He later got married and is leading a very fulfilling life.

Case Study 2

     Sharda, suffered from IBS for 23 years. She had been to more than 30 doctors in all these years. She took medicines by kilos then. She was very weak and depressed about her condition. She also suffered from many side effects of medicines she took. She was suffering from many other symptoms in her body, which could not be distinguished as any particular disease.

     On taking IBS combination her condition improved very much for the first time in 23 years. Her face started looking much better. She stopped taking all the medicines gradually. She was amazed at the result, as she had suffered for 23 long years.

Case Study 3

Rajesh was a young man of 25 who was undergoing a lot of high business stress. He had to rush to the toilet after every meal and whenever he was stressed. He tried all kinds of medicines. But nothing worked. He responded to Formula no.2 for Stress and Tension. Mentally he became very calm and relaxed, and his ability to handle stress improved. The hair-fall also stopped.

‘Irritable Mind – Irritable Bowel’.

     Mind has tremendous influence on body. Persons suffering from IBS have a very sensitive nature, they get overwhelmed very easily. They are fearful, nervous, and anxious and they lack confidence. Others easily influence them and over power them and they land up sacrificing their

lives for others.

Flower Essence Formula no. 2 for Stress & Tension, Formula no. 3 for Fearfulness & Nervousness along with IBS combination can work well in such patients.

Hot Summer- Beat the Heat

From April onwards, it is summer time here in India, and will continue till the end of June. Elsewhere, in U.S ,UAE, Europe it will also be hot in June, July and August. For these hot months, we suggest to keep a bottle of Formula No. 13  for Sunstroke. This can be preventive. Useful for those who get sun Headaches and Migraine, Diarrhoea,  Giddiness. There can be dehydration and exhaustion. Take at least one dose daily in the morning. In case of Heat Stroke, 3 drops to be taken every 15 mins upto 8 doses/day.

May also be useful for those who may be in air-conditioned environment all the while but often during the day, one gets exposed to high temperatures for short moments, and it can work like small physical shock to body when it has to go through sudden change when exposed to extreme temperature.

Lotus  – A Master Essence

The physical characteristics of the plant and its beautiful blossom reflect its spiritual symbolism and properties as well, in what is known as the Doctrine of Signatures. The Lotus grows in the muddy water of still ponds and lakes. The magnificent blossom unfolds gradually one petal at a time, till full-bloom in the morning when the sun's rays touch the flower. As the Lotus awakens and blooms at the first rays of the morning sun, the interdependence between the Lotus and the Sun is a symbol of love.

The plant has its roots deep in the soil under water. The long, cylindrical stalk passes through the water and rises above the water's surface. The mud in which the Lotus roots grow represents material life, while the water through which the stalk passes represents the astral world. When the plant reaches the surface of the water and opens its bud to the sun, it represents spiritual being.

The crown chakra--the energy center at the top of the head--is also called "The Thousand-Petalled Lotus", which is a symbol of final revelation. It is believed that the transformation of the world into a paradise can occur through the Lotus, which expounds fully the oneness of all life. In Buddhist tradition, the fully opened Lotus has a strong solar character and its petals are likened to the rays of the sun. It is a symbol of enlightenment in this tradition. In the Egyptian tradition also the same theme is repeated.

Meditating on the Lotus Flower Essence brings harmony into all aspects of our being within and without. Given the Lotus plant's potency as a symbol and its thousands of years of association with spiritual practice in many traditions, we believe that the essence made from Lotus is the foremost flower essence on this planet. As a flower essence, Lotus has many uses. It is called the spiritual elixir. It helps in meditation by calming the mind and improving concentration. Thus it assists in spiritual growth -- take Lotus Flower Essence seven drops before meditation. It is good when used as a spray around the place of ceremonies. When used with crystals, it is very powerful in effect. Lotus is an excellent elixir for balancing, cleansing, and strengthening the aura. All the chakras are aligned and balanced by releasing, adding, or directing energies to them, thus resulting in better health and harmony. Lotus also balances and amplifies the effects of other flower essences when used in a combination. It corrects emotional imbalances by allowing a gentle release of emotions.

For e.g, a case of severe backache may be due to a suppression of emotions and a storing of negative emotions, and can be helped by release of emotions through dreams. It is a good harmonizing essence for interpersonal relationships, as well as for our connections with our animals.

 In general, Lotus Flower Essence hastens recovery from illness, so it can be given  to the patient at the start of therapy. It is a very good aid to healers in diagnosing patient's conditions more accurately, and ameliorates the anxiety of a healer about the patient's problems. When in doubt about which therapy to prescribe for a patient or when the patient's condition is confusing, Lotus Flower Essence opens up the case by clearing the picture.

Lotus aids in cleaning the entire system of toxins -- physical or subtle. It can be used in bath therapy and can also be used locally along with lotus oil, or in a cream or lotion or gel base with Lotus essence added. The essence augments the effectiveness of  Aromatherapy, Magnetotherapy Homoeopathy and Tissue salts, and is also used on acupressure points.

For Plant Lovers

How ‘alive’ our home feels when there are also plants around. Using flower essences for the healing plants is a most interesting way of returning ‘healing energies’ of plant kingdom back to plants. The results are very good…as plants are so simple (not complicated like we-human beings).

There are three wonderful formulae for plants.

1.       Formula no 28  (For Plant Shock) when you are cutting, pruning your plants. Even when you re-pot your plant, you can use this formula.

2.       Formula no 27  (For Plant Infection) when your plant looks sick, leaves are infected. It will boost up plant immunity.

3.       Formula no 26 (For Plant Growth) When you observe that the growth is affected.

The best way is to add two drops of the formula in water and use that water either as spray or directly water plants.

We are in the process of carrying out major agricultural research in fields at the moment…wait for few months till we share the outcome of the same.

We welcome like-minded Agriculturists/ Horticulturists to join us in our research.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome helped by the FOOD VITALISER (Uzee Device)

I was suffering from multiple food allergies. It was so difficult to figure out what to buy and what to eat when I went to supermarket. There are times, even when I visited restaurant, I would be so cautious to order food for myself. After using the FOOD VITALISER Disc, I am able to eat everything including milk, wheat and chocolates. I have no problems with my bowels. I never leave home without the disc.

It is also helpful since it is in key chain. It is very handy.
