Why more families ARE turning to Homeopathy

There’s no question that the mind impacts the body. A feeling of embarrassment can flush our cheeks, a thought of biting into a lemon is enough to make you actually begin to salivate and the experience of public speaking can cause butterflies in your tummy. These are all examples of physiological adaptations to your thoughts. All of these things occur because thoughts, feelings, ideas, beliefs and expectations in a persons mind produce a series of chemical and biological changes that result in a physical effect. The latest scientific discoveries are revealing that stress and negative thinking causes long term changes and disease in our body. A recent scientific study by Pennebaker demonstrated that individuals who repress their emotions also suppress their body’s immunity, making them far more vulnerable to a variety of illnesses ranging from a simple common cold to cancer. Molecules known as neuropeptides link our thoughts and emotions to every single part of our bodies. The mind-body connection is not spiritual fallacy. It is now scientific fact. Proven time and again. It confirms what the ancients have already known for a long time. Disease often starts on an emotional/energetic level before physical manifestation appears. When you have spent your entire life avoiding your body’s messages you can’t be too surprised when sooner or later you are consumed by a variety of symptoms.

Sadly, as chronic illness becomes more prevalent, people don’t understand the origins of chronic pain or health issues and are looking for answers in all of the wrong places. The amount of chronic issues is growing and becoming all too common. In Australia, at least 1 in every 10 children under the age of 14 has a chronic health condition and these figures are continuing to trend upwards. We are over stressed, under nourished, completely cut off from nature and living in the most toxic conditions ever seen by generations past. We have created a world our nervous system wasn’t designed to live in and cannot keep up with. In the past century, modern life has accelerated at rates not yet witnessed in human history. The result: we’ve created a world full of disconnect, from self, others and nature. We are overwhelmed, overstimulated, overworked and completely and totally dysregulated right down to the cell. We are full of toxins from our food and our environment making us inflamed and we bury our emotions alive. Our biology is no longer able to sustain us because it just cant adapt quick enough. So what can we do? We need to slow down. We need to invite in more calm, safety, nourishment, rest, connection and nature.

Chronic pain, illness and disease are the result of a body in chronic stress pathology. Pinpointing where that stress is/has come from is key in healing. The reason for this is that a body in a chronic stress response doesn’t put energy toward healing or regeneration. Its only concern is survival. This is often times why fertility is greatly effected as well, the body just isn’t focused on procreation when its worried about survival. Rest is a key ingredient in the recipe to good health. It’s during rest that the body heals, repairs and rejuvenates itself. The inclination towards seeking pharmaceutical relief over a cure often stems from the fact that finding a quick fix doesn’t demand the same level of introspection and deep healing work that pursuing a genuine cure does. Opting for relief allows one to bypass the need for significant personal change. Popping a pill is easy. Uncovering true healing requires a willingness to step back and acknowledge the profound connection between one’s own thoughts, emotions, traumas, behaviours and their impact on both their mental and physical health. Repressed emotions are one of the most common reasons people get sick, stay sick or never achieve optimal health. This is because they trigger the body’s fight or flight response which over time causes nervous system dysregulation. When it remains in this mode chronically, your body is literally breaking down faster than it can repair itself which makes healing nearly impossible. Slowing down, learning to rest and processing your emotions accelerates healing.
