THE HEALING CRISIS
|
During the process of natural healing, what
herbalists call a healing crisis is commonly
experienced by the patient.
Whereas chemical medicines merely serve to
suppress symptoms in the body – storing
up trouble for the future – natural methods
of healing seek to get right down to the cause
of the illness.
This ‘flushing out’ of years of
accumulated waste matter and toxins can often
be an uncomfortable process, but if you are
to get completely well, it is essential that
you have the tenacity to go through the whole
healing crisis, which is part of nature’s
way of restoring you to positive, enduring and
ebullient health.
When experiencing a healing crisis, please
bear in mind the following:
-
The body will not go through
a healing crisis unless it is resilient enough
to do so. Trust nature’s wisdom. It
requires energy to have a crisis; it takes
activity of blood cells and power of tissue
structure. Nature will never induce a healing
crisis unless you have the physical capacity
to go through with it. The mental capacity,
that is the strength of mind, is also assured
once you understand the mechanics and necessity
of the healing crisis.
-
It is difficult for the average
person and the average doctor to tell the
difference between the healing crisis and
a disease process. Though usually the manifestations
are similar, remember a healing crisis is
brought about by an accumulation of health
in the body and the active healing power carries
the patient through.
-
Expect when you go through
a healing crisis to re-experience all your
old disease symptoms, sometimes more acutely
(though generally more briefly) than the
original disease. Say, for example, you
had a really bad eruption of boils in your
past some ten years previously, then you
may expect to produce some boils in the
same area again. You may well forget all
the diseases and injuries you’ve had
in the past, but during the healing crisis
these will remind you, by their generally
minor re-appearance.
-
There are three stages through
which you must pass in order to get well:
the eliminative, the transitional and the
building stages. The healing crisis usually
occurs during the transitional stage –
the time when the new tissues have manufactured
sufficiently to take on the functions of a
more perfect body. So don’t mistake
the first few days of the nature cure programme,
when you’re coming off all your life-long
vices, for a healing crisis. The symptoms
you may be experiencing are merely those of
withdrawal and with a little will power and
application will soon pass.
-
A true healing crisis is often very forceful.
It generally lasts 3 days, starting with severe
pains and slight discomfort, until the point
of complete expulsion of all poisons has been
reached. After this the pains diminish. But
please note if the energy of the patient is
low, as often in the case in enduring years
of chronic disease it is, the crisis can go
on for weeks. The stronger the vitality and
the greater the power of the patient, the more
profoundly will s/he be affected by the crisis.
-
In a healing crisis all organs
will work to eliminate poison, so expect to
excrete from some unusual orifices like the
eyes, ears and skin, as well as in the more
usual ways. Whatever catarrh and other forms
of waste the body has stored up, will be dissolved
in a free flowing state and quite copiously
– and you’ll know a cleansing
purifying process is underway.
-
During the healing crisis
you may find you have little appetite and
if this is the case do not force yourself
to eat. Eat only foods that will assist the
eliminative process and take these in small
quantities. Drink plenty of purified water
to help the body flush out toxins. Above all,
rest and take it easy. No violent exercise
or activity, mental or physical.
Finally, no two healing crises are alike. The
time required for a healing crisis to come to
fulfillment depends on your previous living
habits and the recuperative powers of your body.
The average person develops a crisis within
three weeks.
The discomfort of a healing crisis can be minimized
by ensuring all the eliminative channels are
open and working properly.
The major eliminative channels are the bowels,
the urinary system, the skin, the blood and
the respiratory system, but do not forget that
you also have smaller channels like the eyes,
ears and, in women, the vagina.
