Rule #3 in Dr. Ritchason’s Golden Rules of Health
Filed Under Herbalist |
… is that nothing in the human body heals in less than 3 months – then add one month for every year that you have been sick. Herbs and supplements, combined with nutritious food and good water, plenty of rest and precious time provide the tools the body can use for taking care of its heath. But remember: it took time to get sick; it’s going to take some time to get better.
In this busy, hectic world, we’re not used to letting our bodies heal naturally. “Pop a pill and keep going to work” is the mantra for many of us. Some of us, of course, have to keep working to support our families. This rule is a gentle reminder to have patience with the healing process, whether you’re recovering from a cold or something more serious. On a lighter note, if you have a bad cold, stay home, pamper yourself, drink fluids and above all, rest. Both your workmates and your body will thank you.
