Last week we spoke about finding the hidden cause of symptoms. Letโs look into some common symptoms, their causes, and if they are or are not innately guided.
Vomit
Vomiting sucks. We all know it. However, it can be good for us. Have you ever vomited and felt better for it? I donโt mean Saturday morning in college, though it fits. This occurs because we are expelling the cause of the problem. It is an innate protective measure.
Even when you have a flu and then eat good for you food, youโll vomit innately as your immune system handles the virus.
Pain
Why are you in pain is the question? Did you break a bone? Is the pain acute or chronic? Have you been ignoring it, allowing it to get worse? Pain is never pain, itโs always an indicator of something else. Itโs important to get to the cause of your pain and care for that. Keeping in mind that it may require up to 90% of the healing to occur before you feel better. Such is the case of the broken bone as an example. The healing pro-cess is all innate. You donโt have to think about it at all.
Inflammation
Again, the big question is is the inflammation acute or chronic? Is it do to an injury or have you ignored a problem for years? Inflammation is an innately occurring precursor to healing. It is the initiator of the healing process. Inflammation signals our healing cells to mobilize.
Even chronic inflammation is a better adaptation of the body to the alternative. Yet here we need to get to the cause of the interference. It is always neurological, whether in the nerves at the spine level or as a needed change between the ears. I, myself, get inflammation in my forearms from adjusting and calves from being upright all day. Thatโs why I exercise, jog, and foam roll. Itโs why now my focus is on my diet to eat better foods.
Depression/anxiety
Research points to the cause being chemical imbalances within the brain. What causes the chemical imbalance? We can control that with our thoughts. Being able to check ourselves and recognize that our attitude and thought life has downturned can help us turn it around. We have to be our own advocates and life(t) ourselves up.
Cancer
The body is always adapting. If it wasnโt, the alternative would be death. When we stop adapting, we die. Considering this alternative, cancer is an adaptation. What have we done to ourselves to force the adaptation? What have we encountered that made our bodies say, cancer is a more survivable situation than โโXโโ? Change that and we heal.
Diarrhea
This is akin to how we began this post, vomit. The difference is that the offending substance lingered longer and passed through the stomach. Appreciate it as part of the innate healing process of the body.
So, as you can see, some processes are innately guided and are actually beneficial from the standpoint that our bodies are doing their best to protect us.ย Other times, our bodies are overwhelmed by environmental stressors. Here is where our power lies.ย When our attention is on the cause of the symptoms, we can identify where the stress is coming from and find ways to alleviate the source.ย The end result is support for the body that keeps it running optimally.
