Some years ago the newspapers reported that the Pope had recovered from a severe illness after his personal physician, Dr Galeazzi, had prescribed royal jelly as a tonic for him. It also was reported that Dr Paul Niehans, an eminent endocrinologist and specialist in live-cell therapy, was of the opinion that royal jelly vitalises the glandular system in a similar way to an injection of fresh endocrine cells. These observations are a strong enough indication that it is indeed appropriate to pay much more attention to royal jelly in the future.

Cabbage leaves are usually available in your kitchen, so why not try a pack when you suffer bruising, notice a growth or experience some internal inflammation? Apply the crushed leaves, in addition to taking the necessary oral medicine. Many chronic ailments can be successfully treated with cabbage and clay packs applied in alternation; one day apply the pulped leaves, next day the clay packs. In this way it is often possible to avoid the surgeon’s knife.

Good results are also achieved with onions and raw horseradish. Some skin diseases clear up when a paste made up of bran and an infusion of marigold or horsetail is applied. Or you can soak some wheat, put it through a mincer, then mix it with marigold or horsetail to make a soothing and curative paste.

This ‘spring tea’ is still recognised for its pleasant effect on our well-being. Those who take it regularly are convinced that it purifies the system, purging it of the winter’s metabolic wastes and infusing the new energies of spring. Some medical practitioners may turn up their noses, discarding the idea of blood-cleansing as being erroneous and unscientific, but there is no doubt that such herbal cleansing stimulates the body’s mechanisms and in this way achieves an overall cleansing effect.

According to the views held in ancient India, the blood and the circulatory system can and should be purified from time to time. Rasa is the ancient Indian word for the blood or body fluids, and Rasayana Kalpa is the name used for a blood-cleansing programme following the model and method of the ancient Indians.

Recently, interesting observations have been made concerning the effect of this mineral on hard swellings of the tendons and ligaments, dilations of the tendon sheaths (known as ‘ganglia’) and even glandular tumours and hard cyst formation. It is gratifying to know that, besides other treatments, such a simple natural medicine as Calcarea fluorica will benefit these conditions. It would, of course, be unreasonable to expect too much from any given remedy, because we must remember that disease is hardly ever attributable to the deficiency of a single cell salt. Others, too, may be lacking and need to be replaced.

It has been found that cataracts of the eyes are usually associated with a deficiency of Calcarea fluorica, and their treatment should include taking this mineral in alternation with Kali chloricum (potassium chlorate). Sclerotic deposits on the eardrum, which may give rise to deafness and ‘head noises’, as well as painful whitlows and itching, and eczematous diseases of the skin are also relieved by taking this remedy for a period of time. Calcarea fluorica should be taken together with Millefolium (yarrow) or Aesculaforce to improve the elasticity of the walls of the veins in all cases of haemorrhoids (piles), varicose veins and phlebitis (inflammation of the veins).
