ADDICTION - YOU CAN GET OVER IT

Case Histories

Helen came to us seeking treatment for chronic backache and abdominal pain. We discovered that her childhood had been a traumatic one. Her mother had committed suicide. She had never really experienced parental love.  When still a child, she had been sexually abused. Now at 22, she was a sex addict - addicted to sex the way others are to heroin or coke. She had to get her ‘fix’ several times a day and she knew she was heading for disaster.

Mona, 34, suffered from a dermatological disorder - extreme photosensitivity. The slightest exposure to the sun would result in an outbreak of severe skin allergies. In the course of treatment, we found that she was addicted to laxatives. Convinced that she would be unable to clear her bowels without her daily dose, she had never skipped the laxatives for the past 12 years. Her confidence was at ebb, her addiction had done serious injury to her intestines and the skin allergies (side-effects) were becoming more frequent.

Kartik was addicted to cough syrups. He consumed 2-3 bottles a day. His newly wedded wife was aghast when she discovered why her husband locked himself away for hours every day. Their relationship was soon on the rocks and for the first time Kartik realized that his habit was costing him dearly.

Grace, age 42, came to us for the treatment of a skin allergy & hyper pigmentation on face. We found that she was dependent on mega-vitamins. She had been prescribed them a long time ago, but never stopped using them. She felt lethargic and also complained of joint pain and backache if she missed a dose.

When Monika, age 48, approached us, she was suffering from water retention - her face was puffy and her feet constantly swollen. Conversation revealed that she was addicted to balm. She had been rubbing it liberally all over her forehead before turning in at night for the past five years. She would even stuff some up her nose. Inhaling the camphor vapours was the only way to get a good night’s sleep, she said. The habit had even turned her nose black and her sense of smell was not as sharp as it used to be.

Flower Power

These are some of the challenging cases we’ve had the opportunity to treat. Diverse addictions, and yet with a common thread running through them. The patients in question were high-strung, emotional people with inadequate self-esteem. To treat only the external manifestations of their addiction would be to do them injustice. It was evident that the mind and the heart needed treatment too.
For example, in Helen’s case we needed to heal the wounded inner child. We have observed that childhood abuse and trauma is one very important cause of addiction in later life. Mona, Grace and Monika needed to let go of their unhealthy emotions and become more self-assured. Kartik needed to strengthen his will-power and get off the self-destructive path he was on. With this in mind, we treated them with Flower Remedies that would not only help them overcome their addiction, but also heal them from within. Indian Flower Remedies have the power to heal the mind and body, correct emotional imbalance and soothe away deeply imbedded fears. They work as catalysts, empowering you to bring about a change within yourself. Hence, they are highly therapeutic and efficacious for addicts under rehabilitation. Their success rate is highest when there is a conscious desire to give up the addiction. However, they have been known to work even in the initial absence of such a desire. The preparation of these remedies involves drawing from the revitalising, healing energy and vibrations present in flowers. The process DOES NOT involves plucking or crushing flowers. In fact, precautions are taken to maintain eco-balance.

‘Bombay Times’ carried an article on Indian flower therapy. We received many phone calls as a result of that, inquires from all kinds of persons interested in this therapy.
