More tips and secrets from the masters. February 2014.

Potentized Saliva and Breath

I prefer saliva and exhaled breath for autopathic treatment. Saliva carries the perfect individual information of the entire organization. Breath exhaled from the nostrils holds direct information about our prana.

Warning When Cough Diminishes

Remember Antimonium tartaricum when, in the course of lung affections, (especially in children) the cough ceases or becomes more rare, yet there is no diminution in the mucus-production. There is just as much rattling of phlegm, yet the child does not cough so frequently. The mother thinks the child is better, but in reality it is worse, for the lungs are losing their power.
