eing a billion-pound industry, we are led to believe that ‘fast-acting' and<br />

‘straight to the source of pain' painkillers are the answer.<br />

Did you know naturally sourced remedies are everywhere? For example a<br />

stinging nettle sting can be easily healed with a leaf; or an upset stomach can<br />

be calmed with camomile tea; and nausea can be soothed with ginger. Even<br />

bad skin can be soothed with natural ingredients like honey and mud rather<br />

than expensive and on-the-market products which are filled with chemicals<br />

and other ingredients, and most of which are tested on animals.<br />

We as a society are led to believe, and are sucked in with advertisements, that<br />

we need all these painkillers and fast-acting medicines. But little do people<br />

know, the more regular you take these tablets for whatever reason - a<br />

headache, insomnia or migraines - your body becomes immune to them and<br />

after a while they stop working, and it becomes a placebo effect that we<br />

believe they are helping but they aren't. Whatever happened to laying in a dark<br />

room for a migraine rather than reaching for pills?<br />

Did you know our bodies are designed to align, and when we get sick it's our<br />

only job to realign our body the way it should be? Getting sick and being sick,<br />

our job then is to align our body back to its original state ready for the healing<br />

process to begin, and with this comes being aware of what you think, feel and<br />

say which can impact your healing and alignment.<br />

When we get sick, or when we are unwell, we will often naturally think<br />

negatively about this rather than positively. Take for example a war veteran, or<br />

a young man in the army who lost limbs, arms, and legs. When this happens,<br />

you have 2 choices: you can sit and think negatively about the limb you've lost,<br />

and allow your negativity to wear your mind and body down or you can see a<br />

positive side to it… You may have lost an arm but you are still alive and are still<br />

breathing on this earth, and when you change your way of thinking in a<br />

situation like that, or when you are sick, your body will start to represent the<br />

positive vibes and you'll find your recovery and healing to be quicker.<br />

When you get sick the best thing you can do is accept the illness, accept the<br />

sickness rather than reject it because by suppressing it and rejecting it you are<br />

then going to make yourself more sick and will block the energy of healing to<br />

flow through you also by rejecting your illness it will cause great stress to your<br />

body also which will add a longer recovery time for yourself.<br />

When you accept the illness, you are also allowing the positive healing to flow<br />

through rather than blocking it with negative thoughts regarding your sickness.<br />

Rather than saying "Why am I sick?" and becoming a victim to it - accept it, and<br />

understand it and allow the healing to start through your body. Acceptance is<br />
