I fully believe that herbs along with nutritional and lifestyle changes
can create Ease and Health with everything, often being nursed and taken care
of when we are down is integral to this journey to Optimum health.
Today I am suffering with a horrid gum swelling and infection, my lymph
nodes are hard and painful and my
mouth is throbbing. I cannot bite down or chew anything as it feels very
uncomfortable and painful and has done for about 30 hrs so far.

| The Great Eliminator Point |
My supportive partner,
responded to me whining on the sofa last night and begging in a small childlike
manor to be ‘Nursed’ by using his skills of shiatsu; pressing several points
including The great eliminator (see picture). He also suggested to me hot salt
water gargles and garlic, prescribing 6 cloves a day, to be crushed and taken
hole but not on an empty stomach. He rather unervingly added that if it was not
better within a week I would need in his words; ‘To Nuke it with hardcore
stuff.’ This statement sent me into slight panic, what did he mean? 6 cloves of
Garlic daily surely was super hardcore??? Part of me seemed to think he was
talking about anto-biotics….My ego was dented, doesn’t he know who I am? A
herbalist with capabilities of healing herself…..with some support and care
from friends and family.
So my action plan when I woke this morning; which includes vast amounts of polypharmacy!
I stopped eating solids from yesterday and have had regular juices with
organic vegetables, ginger and turmeric and smoothies with natural bio live
yogurt, bananas, various soft and lots of turmeric, taking garlic in between
smoothie sips.
Rubbing lavender and calendula externally onto my swollen lymph.
I made a mouth wash with Propolis, Myrrh, calendula and clove essential
oil and boy is it strong.
Taking Echinacea, Calendula, Propolis, Elderberry and Swedish bitters internally
with high strength vitamin C and Rieshi mushrooms.
And now I am going to bed to heal it all in the next couple of hours
hopefully……phew
