How to Handle Acute Issues to Support Long Term Immunity

This is a really important episode because it’s probably one of the more difficult concepts to put into practice. We’ve all grown up with our own ways of dealing with symptoms and habits can be hard to break.  It’s important to understand that how you handle acute situations will have a profound impact on your immune system.

Our responses to acute illnesses either support or suppress the immune system.  Using pharmaceuticals, or even “natural” substances like colloidal silver or some essential oils, suppress the symptoms that are a result of an immune system doing its job.

Symptoms are not the problem.  They’re simply the language of the life force giving us information.

Restoring Immunity with Gemmotherapy

What’s the best way to restore and support immunity?

In my experience, the answer is with gemmotherapy.

What is gemmotherapy, you ask?  Let me introduce you…

Gemmotherapy extracts are made from the emerging buds & shoots from certain trees and shrubs and are made into a macerate.  These young tissues make up the most potent part of the plant, and contains minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and meristems cells of the plant.

The meristem cells, similar to human stem cells, are the growth cells of the plant and possess incredible regenerative properties.

Gemmotherapy is a powerful healing modality because of it’s affinity for certain organ systems. Extracts also have the ability to optimize elimination, has a dynamic influence on immunity, as well as the nervous system.

Gemmotherapy is a drainage therapy and the extracts are able to simultaneously clean, nourish, and fortify the cells of the body.  Gemmotherapy is also an approved medicine in the European Union.

Before we move on, we know that there are other important factors that go into building immunity.

Laying the Groundwork

I want to have a frank discussion about what it really takes to build immunity.

This Information Age that we live in is a double edged sword. On one side, we have an incredible the amount of information at our fingertips. We can look up anything we want in seconds! On the other hand, the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming and we don’t always use discernment, especially when what we’re looking at confirms our own beliefs and biases.

Right now I see many people asking about and taking supplements as the primary way to strengthen the immune system.

They’re taking extra Vitamin C, Vitamin D… some range of supplements they believe will help keep them healthy.

Supplementation can be a great way help support an already solid foundation of health and immunity.  I’m not opposed to supplementation at all.  I use supplements because they can be very beneficial when added to a healthy lifestyle.  I am opposed to supplementation without context or understanding.  Reading about something on the internet and  simply taking vitamins or herbs in isolation is not beneficial.

Fear of Illness

Christina

Inspirited Wellness Podcast – Episode 8: Fear of Illness

 

Today I want to talk to you about fear – specifically, about fear of illness.

Terror over disease has been escalating over the past several years – for many different reasons – but it’s really come to a head with the hysteria over the novel corona virus.

If you’re one of the people who are on the fearful side, I’m guessing that you probably have general fear or anxiety over all illnesses.  I don’t expect this podcast to fix the problem, but I’d like to put some things in perspective and offer some suggestions on how to deal with you fears.

On Fear

Fear is meant to be a temporary condition to alert us when something is wrong, or in reaction to danger.  It’s a survival mechanism.

It’s not meant to be a chronic state of being.  Living in a state of chronic fear and anxiety not only effects our mental and emotional health, but our physical health as well.  Over time, it breaks down and destroys our immune systems and will lead to even greater susceptibility to disease.

Inspirited Wellness Podcast Episode 5 – Are Periods Necessary?  Changing the Narrative

 

If you follow my Facebook page, you may have seen my post last week linking an article titled, “Periods are Optional.  Here’s the Why and How.” I responded in this Facebook post,  but I have so much more to share so I did a podcast on the subject.

Women using birth control to stop their periods is nothing new, it’s been going on for years.  But this is the first time I’ve ever seen a doctor actually say that periods are optional, unnecessary, and that “some health experts believe you may be healthier without them.”

What is Gemmotherapy?

 

It’s not surprising that you’ve never heard of gemmotherapy.  It’s relatively unknown in the U.S. right now except for a few practitioners who are teaching and sharing it.

Gemmotherapy is a plant-based healing modality made from the emerging buds and shoots from specific trees and shrubs.  What sets gemmotherapy apart is that the material used to make the extracts contain the embryonic cells of the plant and are not only the most nutrient dense part of the plant, but have incredible regenerative properties.

The purpose of gemmotherapy is to reduce inflammation in the body, restore the elimination and drainage pathways, and to support the adrenals.  The extracts work on a cellular level to clean and tonify the cells and organs.

Homeopathy and Gemmotherapy

I absolutely love gemmotherapy and have such great results with the extracts!  One of the other reasons I love it is because it works so synergistically with homeopathy.  Normally, you wouldn’t mix homeopathy with another healing modality, like medicinal herbs, because you can confuse the symptom picture and so you don’t know what’s working.  But gemmotherapy is not only very powerful in its own right, but it can actually help homeopathic remedies work better.

Do You Have The Holiday Blues? Here’s A Powerful Solution!

Christina

 

As we come out of the holiday season, many people find themselves feeling tired, worn out, or suffering from a deep melancholy and trying desperately to pull out of it.

 

The demands of modern-day life can seem so overwhelming.  Coming back to real life after winter break, traveling, and festivities can be challenging.  We go back to work, have bills to pay, and are getting the kids back into a regular routine.  It’s no wonder many people are left dealing with minor depression in a quest to “get back to normal”!

 

Sometimes these demands of life may elicit strong emotions within us such as worry, fear, frustration, and hopelessness. While these are normal emotions that we all occasionally deal with, we don’t want these to develop into a long-term state of being.  This will not only negatively affect our emotions, but our overall state of health.

 

If you’re in the middle of January and still feeling mentally and physically sluggish and despairing, there’s one surprising practice that can help clear the cobwebs.
