These Are Six Surprising Things I Discovered As a Self Healer

I'm a self healer and have been for a very long time. Actually, we all are. You are ultimately the one who does all your healing. While a doctor or Chiropractor or Massage Therapist may assist you, you and your body is what actually does the healing. Mostly, healing is about finding something that you feel absolutely confident about. People believe so much in doctors, and that's largely the reason that they feel better when a doctor gives them something. But I want to share some surprising things I've learned as a self healer.

Kratom is the (pretty much) only painkiller you'll ever need.

Ok, maybe not ever. I've never taken incredibly strong pain killers for brown recluse spider bites, or surgery or anything like that, so I'm not going to make that claim. But you can definitely get rid of all your over the counter pain killers. You do not need aspirin or Ibuprofen. Kratom is an extremely effective pain killer. And it's just a leaf. It's also very cheap. One ounce costs about $10 and will give you quite a few doses. Buying in bulk is even crazier cheap.

It's phenomenal for when you're sick. Not only does it ease pain, but it eases anxiety. It will give you a sense of well being when you really need it. It activates your optiate receptors to make you feel safe and calm.

It's wonderful for PMS.

There are different strains of kratom. Some make you sleep, while some energize you. And then there are strains in-between.

Oregano essential oil is an extremely potent antibiotic

Holy shit. This stuff is powerful. You don't always need a prescribed antibiotic. Prescription antibiotics kill good gut bacteria which can really fuck up your health actually.

Oregano oil is strong. Try it when you have an ear infection or something not life threatening.

FYI: ladies, it can bring on a period.

Drinking diatamaceous earth

Ok, this is a weird one. Diatamaceous earth is the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms. You can use it in your house or on your dog to kill pests, but if you drink it, you also kill parasites in your body. Pretty cool. It also detoxifies and kills viruses. It's made mostly of silica which your tendons, cartilage, bones, blood vessels, and every other organ require. It also has silicon, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and other trace minerals.

I'll link here so you can read all the details.

*Tip: I've found it easy to consume mixed in half Kombucha and half water.

P.S. diatamaceous earth is insanely cheap. 10 pounds for $19.99!

Drinking baking soda

I just learned about this one and was quite surprised I didn't know about all the health benefits before. Quite an internal cleanser! And it's not bad at all to drink. It's easier to consume than the diatamaceous earth, I think.

• Helps with digestive issues
• Anti-fungal and antibacterial
• Helps balance body chemistry
• It's an antacid
• Reduces inflammation

Oxygenating your blood with breath

This is one that I'm just discovering, and I'm going to write an entire article about it so that I can learn. I started practicing Wim Hof Breathing a couple months ago and was pretty blown away by how strong it made me feel throughout the day. Kind of superhuman. A friend told me about a guru in India named Baba Ramdev who heals millions, and he does it all with breath. And I've been stumbling upon more information that I really must delve into. Stay tuned. I'll come back and link here after I post the article. I don't want to make this so long that people won't read it.

Decision

Once again, healing is about decision. I've learned this over and over. When you decide you're going to get better, you do. You can't just kind of decide. It's when it's time. After the decision point healing starts instantaneously, and you're off to the races. There's a time for feeling pain, a time for self nurturing, a time for hope, and ultimately there comes the time of decision.
