Are you aware that we all are endowed with the innate power to heal our own ailments? It does not mean that doctors are not needed but they can only assist if they act in harmony with the Laws of Nature.
Our mind and body systems are so designed by the Almighty that they are equipped to HANDLE AND HEAL ailments. For example, you cut yourself with a blade while shaving. The wound caused by the blade heals itself over time. The affected skin grows new pigments and becomes normal soon if there is no further damage by external obstacles like dust and abrasion by other objects. You really do not need help from others. As a kid, I have hurt myself so many times and most of the times, never went to a doctor. At best, I have cleaned the wound with plain cold water. Similar healing processes take place in other systems of the body. If one has a headache, chances are that it is often caused by mental stress, inadequate rest, or hunger. Nature provides its own warning signals like fever, aches and pains. If you do not heed to it and take corrective action, it leads to sickness or disease.
The human body can take some abuse for sometime but not from all sorts on a continuous basis. In my humble opinion, most illnesses are caused by lack of hygiene, poor discipline on diet and drinks, irresponsible lifestyle, and inadequate understanding of oneself. Pain and suffering are just signals to our conscious mind that we have to CHANGE our ways of living, eating and resting patterns and basic attitudes. Those in the rat race to attain top positions in the corporate world are more vulnerable to diseases.
Is it not simpler to just take some drugs prescribed by doctors? Remember, most drugs contain chemicals that often cause side effects. To counter side effects, more medicines are required. The problem with most drugs is that once you start taking them, you tend to become habituated and it becomes difficult to just abruptly stop taking those drugs.
On the other hand, try self-healing ailments by allowing some time to regulate your life-style with clean food (avoid smoking, drinking, eating in low-class restaurants and junk food) and habits. I have personally experienced that my headache just vanishes if I rest or sleep for a while.
Believe in self-healing processes. The God-given mind-body system has almost unlimited self-repair capabilities, but most of people shut the doors to natural healing and deny themselves any access to them. Build your self-confidence by constantly thinking that you are doing fine and driving out negative thoughts. If you do not believe in inherent powers self-healing, your chances of success are minimal.
The secret to self-healing is: Keep an open mind, adopt clean regular habits, and rest adequately.
Pray and Let Mother Nature take care of you.
