My home pharmacy
Home pharmacy with essential “medicines”
Every person should have a home medicine cabinet. I remember how I suffered from severe angina in the middle of a hot July when I was 8 years old. I slept on the terrace on the couch. The pain when swallowing was unbearable. But by then I no longer wanted any medicine. I had chickenpox for the rest of my life when I was 7 years old.
My tonsillitis was a constant, today I'm just writing about it. I also got rid of ear infections, constipation, impaired metabolism, rashes, acne, low immune system...
Some would say that getting sick is "normal", but it was simply too much and too frequent.
The official healthcare system did not offer me a suitable solution, only worsening and spinning in a vicious cycle of malaise and low energy.
How did I find the solution? Because I'm curious, the path wasn't difficult, but I had to be patient. Healing doesn't happen overnight. At least not in the beginning, when we're still quite toxic. There's not always just one solution, but I had to find several approaches. Today, my home pharmacy is an essential tool.
The first thing that had a very strong impact on changing my health was nutritionWhen I removed industrially processed "food", the toxic load immediately decreased and my body breathed. Otherwise, in the first period I had quite strong detoxifications through the skin, which was manifested in painful acne on my back, herpes, rashes and urticaria.
The intestines are supposed to adapt to a change in food for 5 weeks. At least that much time we need to give our friends bacteria to get to know each other and how they will work. Real food gives a boost to those good bacteria that take care of our physical and very important mental health. When it comes to nutrition, I followed my needs, my desires, or rather the desires of my bacteria in my intestines. If I followed my mind, my body quickly warned me that I was not on the right path. Of course, when the millennia-old intelligence of nature is hidden in our cells, we just have to hear this voice. The mind must learn to vibrate together with the cells - I would call this intuitive listening.
They always find a place in my local pharmacy coconut butter, shea butter, cocoa butter, apple cider vinegar, honey and lavender essential oil or tea tree.
Home pharmacy and cannabis
I have always used butter for skin problems. If my acne was inflamed, I would add a drop of lavender essential oil to the butter. The butter itself cared for my skin and helped remove the toxins that caused my acne in the first place. Drying out my skin and acne only made it worse. The key here was understanding that all these “breakouts” are the body’s way of detoxifying itself through the skin. Before, I felt like I had to suppress and destroy all these impurities and fight them. Then I realized that I had nothing to fight, because my body was doing its job diligently and all I had to do was support it. I went from a state of war to a state of support.
I urgently added this to my home medicine cabinet hemp, when I understood how it connects to our endocannabinoid system. CBD drops I use it both internally and externally (topically). Cannabis is a sacred plant and has always been respected by humans, as it has provided us with support in various forms (clothing, food, rituals, shelter). When we discovered the existence of the internal cannabinoid system, it was just a confirmation of all the wisdom that our ancestors already knew intuitively and through practice. Yes, we are walking cannabis and therefore consuming cannabis is not introducing something foreign into the body, but just a way to help ourselves when our body can't handle everything.
And during this time, I myself have noticed that the toxicity from 20 years ago has increased. Not only physical toxicity, but also emotional and mental. The body removes all these toxins to some extent and repairs damage to cells, DNA, tissues, organs, but sometimes it can't do it that fast or it's already completely exhausted. This is also called cannabinoid insufficiency, a lack of cannabinoids. If we imagine that with every blow, the body produces a lot of endocannabinoids at the site of the blow to repair the damage, what happens if there are countless of these blows, every day, non-stop?
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to escape stress at every turn. It is true that we ourselves are responsible for how we react to external factors, but the last two years have probably influenced even the best "Zen masters". Because cannabis regulates all processes in the body and puts them in balance, because it addresses inflammation, even the silent ones that we may only suspect, because it puts us in the here and now, that is why it is part of my home pharmacy.
Home pharmacy, spagyria and mushrooms
Finally, they also have a very important place in my home pharmacy. spagyric preparations, with whom I have been working for 18 years. Spagyric preparation is an old alchemical technique that is used to make a medicinal preparation from a plant, mineral, or mushroom that does not contain any substances that are toxic or useless to humans.
Determining which plant or mushroom is suitable for a person or symptom is an individual matter, although there are herbal mixtures that can help everyone during the more severe active phases of the disease. I have tried many preparations myself, but not all of them, because there are so many. Spagyrists can make preparations from anything in nature, if that makes sense.
The most common use belongs to the well-known medicinal mushrooms, which are also successfully used in clinical practice. You have probably heard of Ganoderma or Reishi, which regulates immune responses, including in allergies and autoimmune diseases. As for the Fritillary or Hericium and Phellinus or Willow bark, which regenerate nerve cells and prevent further degeneration. Cordyceps It increases energy and oxygen in cells, making it a suitable mushroom for anyone who is recovering slowly from an illness. Chaga It is known for its highest antioxidant value, which protects human cells and DNA. Maitake or Large rosacea is the optimal mushroom for regulating metabolism. Polyporus It is mainly used for removing water from the body, kidney problems and as a support for detoxifying heavy metals, Auricularia or Elderberry is an excellent support for the cardiovascular system and all problems related to blood and vascular flow.
Home pharmacy and vitamin C
If I can't get enough vitamin C from food, I supplement with a few grams. liposomal vitamin C, but only when necessary.
A good night's sleep, proper breathing and exercise are also part of the home pharmacy. But I can't put these into the form of a preparation, but they are an extremely important part of everyday life, as they ensure that the body is relieved of everything that doesn't belong in it: bad air, bad thoughts and stagnant lymph. Good sleep is important for optimal physical detoxification and processing impressions through dreams (emotional and psychological detoxification). With proper breathing, we are masters of our thoughts and our cells get the oxygen they need for healthy functioning. Movement gets our blood moving throughout the body, moves our lymph to cleanse itself, as a result we have more energy, more motivation, more health and we are more smiling and happy with ourselves. Movement doesn't mean a marathon, unless it makes you happy. It can be a walk in the forest, jumping on the river and rocks, walking in the hills, a light run... anything that increases our will to live.
Listen to your body, observe your thoughts, act in accordance with what you need most. Keep peace within yourself, be here and now, that's how I found the best solutions for myself.
