How the simplest of things can make a difference

Najma and her Mum
2 people left last night, Najma and her Mum, I was sad to see them go, as they were very friendly and always made sure I was looked after. Najma left with the words 'I will miss you ma'am'.
She entered the hospital 10 days ago extremely tired, exhausted, in fact, very thin, no energy, no appetite, allergic rhinitis, osteoarthritis on the right knee, vertigo, lumbar spondolosis. Her mum came to keep her company, but she also had diabetes and a number of complaints related to the ageing process.
Najma is a primary school teacher, and her mum is an office worker in local government.

During her time here her face took on a new complexion and a different pallor, her mum too, looked healthy and well when she left. Many of her complaints disappeared during the 10 days of yoga, rest, pranayama, juicing, naturopathic diet and treatments. No herbs were used, and they said that they enjoyed the mud baths and sun baths the most. (you cover yourself in mud and sit in the sun).

Just one of many cases we have. We have had quite a few new admissions in the last few days - cases of sciatica, eczema, osteo arthritis, sever spinal compression, and a 80 year old musician with clots in the brain. He said he was determined not to go down the allopathic route, they feel very strongly about that here. His clotting is on his right side, so he cannot grasp properly wth his left hand.
My patient I mentioned in the last blog, Mohammed, is progressing, his blood pressure has been brought down to normal and we are focusing on losing weight.

  1. I have often read where it was customary in times past, here in the US and in the UK, for their to be for lack of a better term, facilities, where people who had exhaustion, and other issues that needed rest and rejuvenating therapy could go to. In this day of money driven health care, just the fact folks need rest, nourishing foods, tender loving care, and gentle exercise is thrown out the door! So beautiful to see you at this lovely facility which is doing so much good in such kind ways. If you get a chance to talk about the eczema treatment there, I would be very interested especially as it is one of my assignments as a first year springfield sanctuary apprentice:) Thank you for sharing,Shabona. xx

  2. Hi Shobana ,
    Distance is nothing Shobana , feels like we're right there with you :) x
    Good to hear Mohammed is improving!
    Interesting to read all the combinations of illnesses that are been treated all at the same time ! and no pill popping ... a centre in the UK would be well received :)
    I was interested to read Najma's mum was suffering from spondolosis .... if you have time would you be able to find out how they would treat that as an individual symptom..I would like to arrange to see you when you return.
    Much love Shobana and keep up the good work you are contributing to whilst you are there.... D x
