HERBS IN TREATMENT OF BREAST TENDERNESS
HERBS IN TREATMENT OF BREAST TENDERNESS
Lumpy or tender breasts may be a sign that oestrogen is not being processed efficiently by the liver. Some beneficial herbs for the liver such as dandelion may help to increase this process.
Dandelion helps to cleanse the liver, the major organ of detoxification, which also gets rid of accumulated ‘old’ female hormones. If the liver is functioning effectively, this prevents excess oestrogen from building up and increasing the risk of breast growths and other cell changes.
Milk thistle is also an excellent herb for the liver and a number of studies have shown that its use can result in an increase of new liver cells to replace old damaged ones. Silymarin is the collective name for the substances found in milk thistle which have this beneficial effect.
Agnus castus can be used for breast tenderness because of its ability to normalize the female hormones. Using this herb can help to correct any imbalances of excess oestrogen.
Wild yam can also be used to balance oestrogen.

HEADACHES – THEIR CAUSES AND TREATMENTS
Headaches should never be dispelled with analgesics. Rather, you should try and discover the cause and then treat it by natural means.
Many headaches are caused by intestinal disturbances. Putrefactive processes develop gases which enter the liver through the portal vein and, from there, find their way into the bloodstream. Headaches frequently result because the nerve and brain cells are affected by “the poisons circulating in the blood. Abdominal troubles and diseases can also trigger headaches. Overwork tends to erode one’s nervous energy and this condition, too, may start a headache. Other problems that may cause headaches include a ruptured disc (slipped disc) resulting from strain. This cause can be successfully treated by a chiropractor. High or low blood pressure, diseases of the blood and nephritis can all trigger headaches.
Let me point out that a headache per se is never an illness, only a symptom pointing to an illness that is causing it. It is for this reason that taking analgesics and chemical drugs to deaden the pain is completely inappropriate. The correct thing to do is to find; and then treat the underlying cause. On the other hand, you cam do something about a headache by providing the nerve cells withj certain biochemical salts which will lessen and often cure the pain. There are also homoeopathic remedies, for example Sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot), which are especially good for headaches.

CARE OF THE SMALL WONDER GLAND
As a control centre of paramount importance, the pituitary should receive extra care and attention. Because of its important functions, it is well protected in an inaccessible bony hollow at the base of the skull. The only way to care for it is by looking after one’s general health. Thus, it is worthwhile supplying the body with wholesome food, sufficient sleep, exercise and oxygen by deep breathing. Even though we already know a great deal about this small gland, many of its secrets have yet to be discovered.
The instrument panel of a jet plane is a complete mystery to the layperson. A radio receiver small enough to fit in a watch casing is also a marvel of technology. But what is contained in the bean-sized gland – much of which we are still not aware of – surpasses everything the human mind has created a thousand times. Appreciating the intricate design and functions of our body, we should always show deep respect for it and avoid subjecting it thought lessly to stresses and strains that affect our health. The biblical psalmist expressed this most aptly when he wrote: ‘I shall laud you [God] because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, as my soul is very well aware.’
