Why your symptoms won’t leave
Unpopular opinion:
We live in a sick-care society, not a health-care society.
We are taught that our bodies are working against us, not for us.
We are taught that nature is the enemy (bacteria, viruses, mould, parasites, you name it).
So we obsess over every little symptom.
Always fixing, always fighting…
Never really listening…
But what if our bodies were treated with the respect and reverence they deserve?
What if your symptom was not your enemy, but an expression of resolution?
A signal that something biologically wise is taking place,
And that the less you interfere, the quicker the cycle can complete itself.
I grew up with a lot of symptoms and popped many pills.
Eczema, IBS, fatigue, anxiety, asthma, hay-fever, you name it…
When I went down the GNM (Wise Woman Way) rabbit hole and learned this approach, everything changed.
I do not get sick the way I used to.
And I repeat: I do not get stuck in my symptoms.
Of course life happens and symptoms will always be popping up here and there.
But because of this understanding, I embrace the symptom, I rest, I drink my Wild Nettle infusions (bc the body needs minerals to thrive), and most importantly:
- I chill the f out -
Do you trust your body?
What symptoms are you dealing with?
Share in the comments, I’d be curious the GNM approach to them.
Take it as a miraculous lens to explore, not a diagnosis to be defined by.
👩⚕️ Disclaimer: I am not your daddy doctor (aka this is not medical advice). I trust you to take radical responsibility for your life and symptoms. My sincere compassion for anyone dealing with chronic symptoms, I have been there, start small by believing maybe, just maybe, there could be another way.
