Welcome to this page on applied holistic ancestral medicine.
This information is intended for those who wish to discover, understand and apply a holistic approach to ancestral medicine. This view sees the body as a unit that functions through the mind/body connection.
If you have followed a more traditional medical training program, this information is complementary, as it allows you to go further, guiding you towards a more holistic approach to this discipline.
If you haven’t had access to similar training or don’t have specific knowledge in this area, don’t worry. The content of this page is designed to allow the assimilation of information and knowledge, regardless of the initial level.
An important clarification before we begin this reading. The health tips mentioned on this page can be added to allopathic or homeopathic techniques and medications, prescribed by the doctor. In no way is it about replacing or suspending ongoing medical treatments without the advice of the doctor following a patient.
If you decide to practice applied holistic ancestral medicine, I highly recommend that you collaborate with doctors and allopathic medicine. In fact, close collaboration can only be beneficial and beneficial for health and well-being.
We will address this module by reminding us what MAHA is and what its fundamental concepts are.
This medicine is part of traditional medicines. Its practitioner is a health educator who seeks to optimize overall health and well-being. When the disease is present, it accompanies what Hippocrates called the internal physician, that is, the natural process of self-healing.
Therefore, I propose the following definition, simple, practical and easy to remember: “Applied holistic ancestral medicine is the art of staying healthy, taking care of your health and taking care of yourself by natural means. “
Maha differs from classical allopathic medicine by its concept of globality. Where allopathy is interested in disease and ways to silence its manifestations, applied holistic ancestral medicine seeks to understand and correct what is malfunctioning in the body, or what triggered these manifestations.
I give an example to illustrate the distinction between these two approaches:
Allopathic vision
Mrs. Gonzalez comes to see her doctor, because for 2 or 3 days she has been sick and has not improved. She explains to her doctor that she had chills during the night and feels “weak.” The temperature was taken which is at (37.5 °). Your doctor listens to you, takes your temperature, and makes the same observation. It ends with a simple flu state. I replace medicines, including paracetamol, which say, “If you have a fever, take paracetamol to lower your temperature. Then you will feel better. “
MAHA Vision
After consulting her doctor, Ms. Gonzalez comes to see us, because she has felt tired for some time. She explains that, according to her doctor, she has a flu-like condition.
First, a therapist working with applied holistic ancestral medicine offers a MAHA assessment. To help the patient’s body fight this disease, the first advice is, for example, a temazcal that provides the following explanations: “We can artificially increase the fever to help the body fight the disease or relieve certain pains. This is the principle of temazcal, which, causing an artificial fever, stimulates the immune system and the body. “
Fever is a sign that the immune system is in action. Fever is the increase in body temperature. It is also a sign of a defensive reaction against internal aggression (for example, a virus or bacteria). In fact, this is a very good sign, it means that immune mechanisms are active.
Fever is helpful in different ways. Bacteria need iron and zinc to multiply. However, during hyperthermia, the liver and spleen sequester these elements and prevent their availability.
In addition, fever increases the speed of cellular function and defense reactions are accelerated. The increase in temperature makes the activity of the white blood cells responsible for viral or bacterial eradication more effective.
Another interest of fever, cytokines cause other symptoms, such as lack of appetite or drowsiness. These symptoms also have their usefulness: if you feel bad, do not waste your energy unnecessarily, rest while your body struggles.
The lifelong hygiene of the individual is paramount in applied holistic ancestral medicine, especially if the patient is interested in the holistic approach to health.
Applied holistic ancestral medicine and the holistic view of health are part of the so-called “alternative” medicines.
This category aims to promote the health and well-being of the individual by developing the body’s self-healing skills. This is how patients can, by combining different natural therapeutic approaches, eliminate certain health problems and acute or chronic pain.
In recent years, conventional allopathic medicine has often been criticized for the harmful side effects of many of the treatments it offers.
Some medications or medications have been equated with complications that affect patients’ overall health. Because of the significant risks posed by media and social media, millions of people are now choosing to look for a new way to heal and heal.
The term “holistic” means that medicine is used to heal the entire human being.
In addition to this vision of being as a unit, holistic medicine attaches great importance to the notion of education. In fact, it teaches to maintain the balance of life and vitality, through the body and mind.
Holistic health is there to strengthen physical well-being, but also emotional, mental and spiritual balance and harmony.
The holistic approach and allopathy have a common goal: to help the patient be healthier. However, the holistic treatment approach revolves around different principles. I’ll take the time to detail them here:
Find the cause of the problem
Healing with the holistic approach always seeks to determine the roots of the problem, the root cause of the disease. It doesn’t just identify symptoms.
Treating the cause of the disease takes longer, so working with a patient will take longer. You need to eliminate all aspects of your lifestyle that can have a negative effect on your health.
Treating a patient instead of a disease
If you want to effectively treat the disease, you need to know the patient. The importance of the anamnesis (history of the disease), is a crucial step. This evaluation collects data about the patient, their medical history and lifestyle, in order to establish a personalized treatment.
Think of the patient as a whole, not as multiple parts
Applied holistic ancestral medicine aims to rebalance the patient’s body, emotions, mind and spirituality, in order to obtain the vital energy necessary for their perfect health.
Disease does not act on a single part of your being. It has physical, psychological and emotional repercussions. You need to think about all these aspects to organize your care.
Use of various therapeutic tools to heal
To be as effective as possible, the practice of this holistic medicine consists of using different techniques to offer the most appropriate tools to the patient’s problems.
It is not common in the classical view of health care to include different therapies. Such an approach is often necessary if one considers that a disease is usually caused by multiple factors.
Prevention is the key to work
Unlike the conventional allopathic approach, the patient does not have to wait until he gets sick to act.
Doing everything possible to enjoy optimal health is a priority that the Patient must understand.
You should be given the keys to allow your body (physical, emotional, and mental) to function optimally.
Forge a relationship of trust between the two
The relationship between the therapist and the patient is very important in the holistic approach of the maha.
The therapist should help you realize that they are primarily responsible for your health and care. You should appreciate it for its true value and communicate a maximum of positive emotions to it.
The goal is to turn it into a true source of motivation. You need to listen to him so that he feels that the therapist really wants to understand and help you.
Now let’s look at the causes of the onset of the disease from a holistic perspective.
It’s rare for a patient to ask, “Why am I sick?” Or “What’s really going on in my body?” Conditioned by the allopathic approach, the patient, but also those around him, are mainly concerned with the symptoms of the disease, such as pain. The patient will do everything possible to make these symptoms disappear as quickly as possible, without wondering why they exist.
For most patients, this reaction seems logical: I’m sick, I have symptoms that prevent me from being well, I treat them.
In allopathic medicine
Medications work very well under this approach. Common thought perceives illness as something that comes from the outside. The patient believes he contracted a germ that infected him and made him sick. He also believes he didn’t have a chance to contract this virus or microbe.
But, in any case, you will wonder if this disease is not simply a manifestation of a dysfunction in your body, something that prevents your body from functioning properly and makes you suffer.
In applied holistic ancestral medicine
On the contrary, the disease is considered the special manifestation of the same disorder: a dysfunction of the organism.
The common denominator corresponds to the patient’s terrain. The terrain or mood, in the MAHA, is the set of fluids that make up the body: blood, lymph, extracellular and intracellular fluid. All these fluids account for 70% of body weight. They are of utmost importance, as they constitute the environment of the cells.
Therefore, the cells are completely dependent on these fluids, which provide them with a nutritional intake. These fluids also allow the removal of toxins from cellular activity. In addition, they promote the transmission of messages from one cell to another, transmission that guarantees their coordinated and harmonious action (mainly through hormones).
The environment in which the cells bathe is essential to their health. If they bathe in an oxygen-poor environment overloaded with waste, they will not be able to do their job properly. In reality, the organism is just a group of cells whose purpose is to make all this work. If this is not the case, the whole body will malfunction. Then it will be said that he is sick.
The body needs a balanced internal environment. As soon as this balance is questioned, the cells can no longer function normally. The body struggles and spends a lot of energy trying to compensate for this lack. This struggle eventually weakens him and eventually results in illness.
It is about neutralizing and rejecting to the outside all the residues and toxins resulting from metabolism. This purification is carried out by the “filter and eliminator” organs, the emontary ones: liver, intestines, kidneys, skin and lungs. Therefore, the body produces waste to function optimally and uses the emulsitoris to eliminate it.
Depending on the lifestyle of each patient, the accumulation of toxins is different. Stress, poor diet, lack of activity or even sleep, will increase the production of these toxins. The body struggles to eliminate them and it is an individual’s areas of weakness that will show the problems.
Keep in mind that this overflow of toxins and waste flows through these fluids throughout the body. Therefore, all organs are bathed in these overloaded fluids.
The first organs to yield, not supporting this environment, are obviously the weakest hereditarily or the most requested: for example, the throat for those who use it too much, the nerves for those who are stressed, the airways for those who breathe a lot of dust or harmful gases in their workplace (masons, painters, etc.). The disease manifests itself differently in each person.
In applied holistic ancestral medicine, therefore, we will say that (the whole organism is sick. No disease remains strictly confined to a single organ.) The organism is a whole and must be considered as a single entity.
Immediately, I will detail the causes responsible for the onset of the disease:
Homeostasis is defined as the body’s ability to maintain stability between the different components of its internal environment, despite constant changes in the environment. At the level of an organism, it is the set of parameters that must remain constant or adapt to specific needs, such as: body temperature, blood sugar, blood pressure or heart rate.
It will always be to use homeostasis, therefore, this natural capacity of adaptability of the organism, so that it heals itself. Unlike the allopathic approach, the patient will not fight against the natural reactions of his body trying to maintain his homeostasis.
If the example of fever is repeated, lowering it goes against the proper functioning of the body, which triggered this mechanism to be more effective and heal faster. Fever serves to maintain homeostasis.
So when the body produces these kinds of sometimes unwanted and unpleasant symptoms, it’s a good sign. This shows that you have the vital energy to cope with imbalance and heal yourself. Therefore, you should not eliminate these symptoms too quickly.
By learning through this page, how to promote a natural recovery process, you can allow the body to heal itself, while minimizing discomfort for your patient.
Ginger baths
Add 1/2 cup of ginger powder, or 1/4 cup of ginger juice, or grate fresh ginger in a hot tub.
Make the body sweat
For example, in a temazcal, twice a week, it is recommended. It is always finished with a cold shower to close the pores of the skin.
Cold shower
It invigorates and stimulates the body. Strengthens capillaries and improves blood circulation. You can alternate heat and cold in a shower.
Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of pure water (Puritii Tritan Bottle System) per day
To drain the body.
Adhere to strict food hygiene
Avoid fatty foods, sweets, dairy, and cereals, which are slow to digest. Choose fruits and vegetables.
Drink draining infusions
Like Giving Greens, nettle, dandelion…
If the patient abuses medications or drugs, it weakens the vital energy of his body which is then disarmed to cope with new attacks. Therefore, the consumption of antibiotics has a detrimental impact on the intestinal flora and on the good bacteria (Probiotiix) that make up the body.
The patient may develop fungal infections (candidiasis), diarrhea, dizziness, rash, difficult Clostridium infection causing diarrhea, can severely damage the colon and lead to death. You can have serious and life-threatening allergic reactions.
Improper use of medications can also disrupt nutrient absorption, weaken the tone and full function of the immune system.
However, Applied Holistic Ancestral Medicine places some value on allopathic treatments, but is careful not to overload the body with medications that can make it sick later.
The liver and kidneys, which are part of the emulsifiers, have to fight hard to eliminate all the chemicals present in the body.
For example, the excessive use of paracetamol can have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the body, on its drainage capacity and on the maintenance of the ground or all the fluids that make up the body: blood, lymph, extracellular and intracellular fluid of patients.
Is low in nutrients. Generates gaps that, in the long run, lead to gaps. Is also full of chemicals, which interfere with the proper functioning of the body.
Dyes, preservatives, bad fats and artificial, processed GM ingredients fill supermarket shelves.
All this promotes many diseases called civilization: cancer, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases…
Therefore, the importance of eating a nutrient-rich diet is essential for good health.
Fresh seasonal vegetables (for more nutrients): Green, leafy, red, roots… How to give to the Greens
Fresh fruit (also seasonal) or MOA
Organic or outdoor-raised eggs
Dried oilseeds: Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts…
Quality oils: Olive, walnuts, rapeseed, coconut…
Lean meat or fish
Various spices
Processed industrial products: ready meals, prepared sauces, pizzas, chips, junk food…
Sausages and red meats
Trans fats
Refined sugar contained in cakes, soft drinks, yogurts, fruit juices…
Milk of animal origin with pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic hormones…
Industrial alcohol
Mental and emotional stress is a silent killer. Much research has shown the negative impact of stress on the body, especially on the autonomic nervous system. It is comparable to the conductor of the organism, because it regulates, with the help of the hormonal system, the functioning of the organs of the body.
Stress can negatively affect a person’s physical well-being in the short, medium and long term. This is the case of hypertensive people who suffer from emotional tachycardia. That’s why, when stress is underestimated, these symptoms tend to become chronic and severely weaken immunity.
Illness can be the result of physical stress, such as, for example, muscle overwork during physical exertion, which can lead to injury. Some patients may experience recurrent pain without taking it into account until the body says Stop!
The risk of this excess is to trigger chronic pathologies that affect the patient’s quality of life: tendonitis, arthritis, osteoarthritis, fatigue fracture, etc.
Poor quality of life adversely affects the patient’s gene expression. This genetic “weakness” is caused by: poor diet, stress, improper or excessive use of drugs or medications, a sedentary lifestyle… The functioning of the body and the reproduction of cells tend to promote this dysfunction.
Yes, you heard right! Many silver teeth placed by dentists actually contain 50% mercury. This metal is very toxic to the body. It is known to wreak havoc on the body. Patients exposed to this metal may suffer from various symptoms, such as headaches, chronic fatigue or senile dementia...
Being in constant contact with pollutants in the atmosphere. With pollution of the air the lungs breathe, the chemicals in the water consumed and in the food consumed, the state of health can be significantly weakened.
In addition to this pollution, Wi-Fi waves, the presence of high-voltage lines and an overly dense telephone network in some places, public authorities, not corrupt, are increasingly worried.
It should not exclude any clues to improve the vitality of the patient and maintain homeostasis. Finally, it is the entire internal and external environment of the patient that the therapist must analyze.
The first function of MAHA is the active prevention of diseases through optimal hygiene of life.
Their actions are mainly located above the disease, they can provide solutions to many disorders of “civilization”, such as: diabetes, cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
During the consultation, make the patient more conscious, free, responsible and autonomous in their life, but also in their civic dimension (ecology, sociocultural development, etc.) .
It is essential (the diagnosis is always made by a doctor, with respect to current medical treatments, it refers to the body of competent specialists of all serious or suspected cases). Humility, awareness of limits and skills at the service of life and health, are the key elements of the ethics of the professional in applied holistic ancestral medicine.
Through a personal questioning of life habits and the application of advice in applied holistic ancestral medicine, whenever you see that vital energy is sufficient. The role of the holistic health educator is to accompany the powers of self-healing that are present in the patient.
That is, the accompaniment of the patient in the development of their human potential. The origin of the word therapist corresponds to “good companion on the path of health” or, for other translators, “He who takes care of the Self“. This definition is far from the interventional or medical conception of the “caregiver.”
The practitioner in applied holistic ancestral medicine has the ideal of participating in the general growth of the being, is at the service of the quality of life, the well-being of all and the environment.
These 5 roles allow not to neglect any aspect in future practice. They allow to respect the holistic vision of health and the global vision of the patient.
