Viva For Your Health

The current population exceeds 300 million people and 150 million domestic cats and dogs! Drug stores are popping up everywhere. The computer models that project human and animal health over the next 50 years must reveal great opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry.
People and their pets are already on more medication then ever before: Many are on multiple medications. Yet medications do not cure. Oddly, they are designed to treat the symptom instead of the actual cause. That hardly seems scientific.
Today, not only are people and their pets are getting the same diseases; they are transferring them to each other. According to The Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain, “Fully 90% of all disease is caused by an unhealthy digestive system”.
Why have American doctors and veterinarians not picked up on this fact? Why, indeed!
Gastro-intestinal (GI) diseases usually starts out as relatively simple conditions. Symptoms might include eczema, eating disorders, foul smelling gas, loose stools, diarrhea, vomiting, and light constipation.
Advanced GI diseases like IBS, Crohns Disease, and chronic constipation are the result of GI imbalance combined with severe intestinal wall inflammation.
Contrary to popular medical opinion, most human and animal disease is reversible! The steps to make sure that you, and your pets, get healthy and stay healthy are relatively simple, and far less costly than doctor visits, medications, and health insurance!
The intestinal wall is the gatekeeper. This is where blood picks up the nutrients from the digested food, and takes them to feed every cell, tissue and organ in you or your pets body. The degree of illness is directly related to the degree to which the intestinal wall is compromised.
In extreme cases, the intestinal wall is so inflamed that nothing can pass through. Advanced GI and Immune disease soon follows. Until the inflammation is addressed the benefits of improved diet, or medications will be negligible!
Sadly, prednisone is the medical professions anti-inflammatory of choice. Like antibiotics, this is case where the treatment needs a remedy.
When GI and immune disease is treated with natural anti-inflammatories, healing soon follows. Simple GI disorders can be quickly remedied with just a few doses of SBOs.
SBOs are all natural non-dairy probiotics. They are more effective than dairy based probiotics. They are essential to maintain or restore intestinal balance. If inflammation is involved, it must first be resolved before the SBOs can be effective.

Holistic remedies help thousands of people worldwide to overcome problems ranging from more serious diseases to the common cold. Holistic Therapist Nitchara Yimsuk answers some frequently asked questions, and tips us off about a versatile treatment called moxibustion.

What does holistic mean?

In holistic treatments we look at the whole person – physical, emotional and spiritual – rather than just treating the symptoms of the problem. We consider a person’s mind and body, diet and exercise, lifestyle and relationships, work and leisure, achievements and problems. Imbalances in any of these areas can contribute to illness.

Where do holistic treatments come from?

Holistic medicine is also known as alternative, integrative or complementary medicine, as it complements conventional practices. It may include, but is not limited to, the following disciplines: spiritual, religious, newly developed approaches to healing or pre-modern medical traditions. Chinese medicine, for instance, follows the holistic principle.

How do they work?

There are many approaches, from energy healing to the use of natural and plant products. The Taoist principles, on which Chinese medicine is based, stress the oneness of everything, the inseparability of solid matter and energy, the fact that there is a common source of all phenomena and experience.

What are some of Chiva-Som’s most popular holistic treatments?

The Detox Retreat is popular. It includes the Cleansing Diet, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Chi Nei Tsang and Acupressure Reflexology. Also high on the list are Flower Essence, Homeopathy and Moxibustion.

What is Moxibustion?

It’s a treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicine in which the herb Moxa Punk is burned on or above the skin at acupuncture points. Sometimes we use other herbs.

How does it work?

The heat warms the blood and the qi (the life force), which improves the flow within the energy channels of the body. Sometimes Moxibustion is recommended as a stand-alone treatment, at others it has a synergistic effect with acupuncture.

Why is it so effective?

The Moxa leaf is bitter and acrid and its nature is pure Yang. Depending on the amount used it produces a gentle warmth or a strong heat and expels cold and dampness.

What is Moxibustion recommended for?

It’s varied. It may be used in the treatment of acute diseases, cold syndromes, diseases of the channel and exterior syndromes, or chronic syndromes and diseases of the viscera (the internal organs). It’s frequently applied in treating arthralgia due to wind-cold-dampness. Also Yang collapse syndrome; Chronic Dysentery, Asthma, Phlegm Retention and Flaccidity Syndrome. It’s also good for some external syndromes, such as carbuncles and the common cold. Additionally, it can work in general health maintenance and disease prevention.

We hear it’s also useful in pregnancies?

Yes, Moxibustion has been used for centuries in China to turn breech babies. The theory behind this practice is that the heat travels up the bladder meridian, which is linked to the uterus. Additionally, it’s useful in treating some Gynaecological Diseases – such as Dysmenorrhea, Prolapse of the uterus, and Leucorrhoea – and Infantile Diseases, including Enuresis and Diarrhoea. Moxibustion is very versatile.

An infectious disease is a disease or sickness that happens when an organism (a living thing such as a plant or animal) is attacked by a pathogen.
