Hi Haley!
I was able to help my yin deficiency by eating a lot of yin foods (according to the book "Healing With Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford) and by taking Dragon Herbs Sho Wu formulation for a number of months. I had to completely stay away from any warming spices or spicy foods during that time in order to protect the yin, so I couldn't work on my spleen during that because many spleen herbs can injure yin if yin is already low.
Now I am working on my spleen and blood, taking another formula (Dragon Herbs Ginseng Longan) which is a spleen-heart tonic that builds blood. It's too early for me to tell if it's working.
I did find that it was just impossible for me to be 100% raw and tonify my spleen (since the spleen needs energeticaly warm and temperature warm/dry foods) so I do a mix of raw and cooked. I also found it necesary to add more animal foods, though you may not need to do this. I was severly kidney depleted yin AND yang) and when you get to that state, you need the big guns, LOL!
So, I'm still "under construction" so to speak, but my TCM practitioner did warn me that it might take up to two years to get normal.
Hi Hayley! How's life? Have you been to a Russel James class over there? They look like great fun. I used to live in Ealing myself...love it over there!
hi hayley! is that room still available? I am very interested, moving to London from south africa in a week's time and it sounds like the sort of place I would love to lay my bags and guitar down:)
Please get back to me soon, as I'm arriving on 18 august:)
Hope all is well!
love and delight
Nathan
Let me know if you would be interested, I have some friends that I graduated with, extremely beautiful souled people, great actors that are in London now doing theater I could connect you with. Could be a great learning experience and a chance to make new life friendships.
Hayley, feel free to ask me anything anytime. It would be my pleasure.
Just to give you a little information about my training this is where I trained http://www.esperstudio.com/, my teacher is Bill Esper. Great site.
I'm on the Gold Coast, south of Brisbane. The locals call it a sunny place for shady people!!! I am missing the heatwave back in the UK though but can't complain here, it's 25 degrees and the depth of winter!
Hey.. I posted another response in Raw PolyA.. Do check it out. I know it might feel like I am probing for details. But whats really interesting is to see something "practically work" v/s discuss theory and philosophy :)
My binge eating lead me to absolute and total freedom. Who'd a guessed it! lol!
I certainly had my cake and ate it! :o) I will be writing a lot more about this soon. wts.
I don't think this exists for humans yet, unfortunately - but what I think would be the healthiest mattress (and virtually free of dust-mites, even bed-bugs which inflict some homes recently) for humans would be the same as the healthiest for pets...
