170,000,000 sleeping tablets per year - Houttuynnia Cordata

Dear people, on my blog I can post much more than on the Facebook page.
I have often been asked: Madeleine, if you are ever gone, what will happen to your knowledge. Well, didn't particularly like it, I'm only almost 70!

This is the flower of Houttuynia Cordata

Of course, I thought about this and therefore decided to gradually post my knowledge and know-how on the blog.
On the blog, I can also write "more easily". It doesn't really have to be in "writer's language", more as the thoughts come to me.
I will not be a kind of "therapist-on-line" via the blog, I want to share knowledge.

I also know that next year my new book will come out. I don't rush that. Because it's so much work.
And I know I will have material to write about for years to come. I will also clarify over time why I needed to make flower remedies so much. There are already so many, aren't there?
And also how the work has expanded with the Seven Essentials and the Combination remedies.
But...step by step.

Houttuynnia Cordat makes you stop thinking compulsively. This remedy brings peace to your mind. Your grinding thoughts really go away.

What does this have to do with sleep problems?
Grinding thoughts can be throughout the day and especially in the evening, when you are in bed, grinding thoughts can get even worse and, as a result, you cannot get to sleep. As a result, you seem to wake up in the morning even more tired than when you went to bed. You may also wake up often at night.

Regular treatments such as as sleeping tablets and cognitive treatments often ignore the times a person wakes up at night.
If you wake up between 3 and 5 a.m., for instance, this has something completely different to do with "just" grinding thoughts. You can then also immediately have grinding thoughts, but these often have a different "charge", such as worrying about your loved ones or having regrets about things done. This is related to the lung meridian and sadness can play a big role.
Like waking up very early in the morning, being dead tired and yet not being able to sleep again. So what about your sense of duty and that you carry a lot with you? That you are physically and mentally at your wit's end and feel a sense of depression coming on? The latter again has to do with the colon.

Because you may be so tired and exhausted from those grinding thoughts, all kinds of mental and physical symptoms may also arise, such as strong inner turmoil, anger without cause in short a state of intense mental tension and physically you may have all kinds of uncontrollable muscle twitching all over your body, soft, very high-pitched ringing in your ears, pain in the muscles on both sides of the neck and throat, aching monk's head muscles, a feeling when both your feet have disappeared.

In any case, wood tuynnia makes it easier to fall asleep at night.

Houttuynnia Cordata came "just like that" by the pond in my garden from "nowhere". The only message I got was that a remedy of this would bring peace of mind.

This is the flower of Horse Chestnut

If you look at the White Chestnut blossom from the Bach remedies, it looks like a torch. I knew all that, but never thought about it otherwise. It was just like that. That's just the way the blossom is. Now if you look at the Houttuynia Cordata it has the same kind of torch. This was pointed out to me again by a course participant saying, "Well, then it makes sense, doesn't it?" Now I get it, but it didn't make that much sense to me. However, I had been thinking for a few years...what...if there are no more Horse Chestnuts? What then? Because there are reports everywhere that these trees are dying out. Or at least very sick. In large parts of Europe, the horse chestnut leafminer is prevalent. Serious infestations are now also occurring in the Netherlands due to the warmer climate, even causing premature leaf fall.

The horse chestnut is susceptible to wilt disease (Verticillium). This causes the trees to die and, because the fungus remains in the soil, no new chestnut tree can be planted in the same place.

And me thinking: oh, what if......

It turns out that Houttuynnia Cordata works better than White Chestnut.

And so you see: There is a solution for everything.

What I have noticed over the years is that the Star Remedies work more broadly, more deeply, and I may not even fully know the scope of my remedies yet!
