I just finished a class in Mental Health and Herbalism and it gave me a lot of time to reflect on so many subtle and powerful forms of healing.
One definition of Mental Health: the psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment
Many holistic forms of medicine consider mental health to be an essential part of healing and that many physical manifestations of illness are rooted in emotional holds. In Holistic Medicines, you may choose to use herbs to treat mental illness but do not forget the wide array of therapies to use with your teas and tinctures.
Treatments to Consider Integrating into your Mental Health Protocols:
Flower Essences
Platicas/Story Medicine: learning to Listen or finding someone to listen with an open heart and open mind
Aromatherapy for the spirit
Cleansing with Smoke and water/Limpias(Barridas)/Sound: herbs, resins, smudging, tuning forks, bowls, bells, herbal baths
Ritual and Ceremony, Chanting, Prayer and Song
Bodywork/Massage-Touch
Herbal Teas
Family and Community Support
Nature Therapy
Magick and Divination
Earth treatments
Temazkals/Sweat Lodges
Energy Work
Divination
Constitution and time of year play a big part. The treatment must fit the client
Always go back to the original insult or injury to the body. Find the beginning of the story. Start the treatment there
The Elements of Ritual: Intention is key. Create sacred space and teach your clients how to http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/tib/ritual.htm
1)Clearing space, this may be done with smoke or sound, or something to clean the area(brooms)usually widdershiins
2)Protecting the area you are working with a circle. Drawing the area. Sometimes these areas become permanent
3) Asking for other energies to be present with you, lighting a candle to signal this(ancestors, spirit guides, earth energies)
4) Pray or perform ceremonies of healing in this space
5) Seal the intent. Sometimes this is done with something that can be carried around afterwards
6) Release the energies
7) Close the circle
This sort of creation of sacred space is important for both you and your clients/loved ones. What your put energy towards becomes your reality. Words and intent are part of this

Some ways of assessing the correct remedy for yourself or a client:
Muscle Testing
Pulse Reading
Marma
Hara
Cranial Sacral
Things to remember:
- Spend time creating the proper Space for healing, especially when dealing with mental health issues
- Protect yourself by be present and grounded. techniques include wearing a white or light colored head covering
- Drugs: When to Say When. Sometimes Drugs can save people's lives. Dont suggest or act in ways that could create a life threatening situation. I am very much a believer in natural therapies and seen them do amazing things. Some people have gotten off of meds and led much healthier lives BUT I lost one of my close friends many years agowhen she tried to stop taking her medication. She ended up taking her life while in a bad epsiode. For her I will always remember that there is a time and a place for medications. With all of that said Walk in Beauty and may you find peace
Thanks much for your post Niki. I am a therapist as well as an herbalist...I am a a strong proponent of integrating these traditional tools into classical "therapy." Smudging, ritual, aromatherapy, plant spirit medicine, herbal teas, decoctions, tinctures and accessing somatic wisdom are some of the tools I use. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteIverheal 6mg
ReplyDeleteKamagra 50 mg is a prescription based medicine which is used for the treatment or cure of erectile dysfunction or impotence in males. The main active salt that is used in the composition of this medicine is termed as sildenafil citrate (50 mg). In erectile dysfunction or impotence a man is not able to keep the erection firm for intercourse. This can be for a short period or for a long time depending on the proper treatment. Problems like ED can cause psychological problems too like stress or getting anxious So a proper treatment is required. Sometimes it's not even physical, it occurs due to psychological problems in our body. Like sometimes we have taken extra stress or we get super anxious then also these problems can happen but not to worry they are treatable. This medicine helps to increase the blood flow to the genital organ of the male and helps them to attain firm erection enough for the intercourse. This medicine contains a moderate dosage of the salt. You can swallow this medicine with a glass of water because this is not chewable or should be crushed into pieces.
