Simple Cure for Pain: Hydrotherapy, Using Water to Heal

Amandha: This is how you’re going to do it. You’re going to take either two different buckets or a sink that has two different compartments. You’re going to fill up one side with extremely hot water.

Amandha: Not hot enough to burn you, but hot enough that if you put it on your hand, you’d start to get red. The temperature, which I have in my handy hydrotherapy book that I’ll be reading excerpts from today, is between 98 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. You’re going to throw a washcloth in that. In the other side of the sink, you’re going to put extremely cold water.

Amandha: You might have to throw ice in it to get it cold enough. The cold temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. So that’s tolerable but uncomfortable. The hot is tolerable, but your skin turns red. All right? You’re going to have a washcloth in each one. Wherever your pain is on the body, start with the hot compress. Squeeze out the excess and place it over the area.

Amandha: Say it’s your hand. Place it over the hand or wrist, wherever your pain is on your body, and hold it there for three minutes. You want to be precise. You definitely don’t want to go over five. Three minutes is your timing. Then put it back in the hot water, grab the cold compress, squeeze out the excess and put that on the area for 30 seconds.

Amandha: No more than a minute, okay? Don’t go over a minute, but 30 seconds is usually enough. Put that compress back, grab the hot again, squeeze it out, and apply it again for three minutes. Use a little timer, or have someone help you time it. That’s best instead of guessing. Then put that back and grab the cold compress again.

Amandha: Squeeze it out. By that second hot compress, your pain should already be starting to decrease. Do the cold compress for 30 seconds, put that back and repeat. You want to do between three and five rotations. Five is optimal. By the fourth rotation, the temperature of the water may already be starting to change.

Amandha: The hot might be decreasing and the cold might be increasing, so you may need to adjust it accordingly. But it’s a very easy and simple recipe. So this gentleman on the phone, I told him this recipe and I said, ‘This is what I want you to do.’ For him, it was his back. ‘You do this, you do five rotations, and your pain should start to decrease. That will help you sleep and so forth.’

Amandha: ‘I will send you the pain cream and the magnesium as well, which really helps with pain. I have it in the topical format, and some DMSO, which is also excellent for blood flow and pain and healing of the tissue. Then you can come and see me and we can tidy up the rest of the problems you have, which are many.’

Amandha: He said, ‘Okay, I’m going to do it, and I’ll do whatever you say.’ So when I spoke to him the next day, he said it was amazing that his pain reduced more than 50% almost immediately. He asked me how many times he could do this. I said, ‘Really, you want to wait until the pain starts to increase, and then you can go ahead and do it again.’

Amandha: ‘There’s no real limit to how many times you can do this application.’ He was very overjoyed to hear that he could utilize it. And then we’re going to start to take him off some of the heavy drugs. He’s on all kinds of pills. Now I’m going to help you understand why this works. I want to explain the circulation, and when you apply this, it’s really thermotherapy.

Amandha: It’s called hydrotherapy because you’re using water, but it’s thermotherapy. It’s using the energy of heat or cold to elicit responses in the blood vessels and the lymphatic system, to mobilize nutrients and remove waste from that localized area. Most pain involves inflammatory markers. Most of the pain you’re experiencing is that, but not all pain is.

Amandha: Some people will say, ‘Oh, that didn’t help my pain. That didn’t touch my pain.’ If it’s a specific type of nerve pain, sometimes it won’t affect it the same way. It really depends on whether it’s inflammatory-based pain or not. You’ll be able to tell when you apply this type of healing. But I wanted to read you a quote because it’s very telling about what pain really is.

Amandha: This is a quote by Moritz Heinrich Romberg. It says, ‘Pain is the prayer of the nerve for healthy blood.’ If you understand what is being said there, it’s that the nerve is responding by giving pain signals. If the blood is full of inflammatory markers, the signaling cannot occur properly. So if you clean up the blood of these inflammatory markers, the signaling can occur properly.

Amandha: Now, if the nerve itself is damaged—so it’s not the blood feeding the nerve so much, but the nerve itself is frayed—then there’s a different response. It’s the nerve and the impulses from the nerve that cause the pain sensation. But it’s the blood that nourishes the nerves that will reduce that response or reaction.

Amandha: I really like that quote because it helps you understand the nerve and the blood and how they work together. The other thing that’s very interesting is how circulation in the body actually works. A lot of people feel, believe or are taught that the heart is the center of circulation, or the circulatory system.

Amandha: And yes, it is a large component of that, obviously, as is the aorta. However, the majority of the pumping action is not coming from the heart itself.

Amandha: It’s actually being stimulated from the capillaries themselves. Even those of the lymphatic tissue have their own pumping system. Things that pool at the ends of those vessels can either dilate and expand, and then contract. There’s no smooth muscle there.

Amandha: But they can move through dilation, or pulling back on their secretions, and actually add a pumping mechanism to the body. There’s much more going on in the capillaries and lymphatic system than really with the heart.

Amandha: So it’s a total system.

Amandha: And when you’re using hydrotherapy, you are affecting this pumping mechanism throughout the body. And because it’s a closed system, you wherever you actually apply the hydrotherapy or the thermo therapy, you will affect the entire circulatory system. And hot and cold have different, reactions and responses depending on if you do it for a long time or a short time.

Amandha: And that’s what’s really fascinating about hydrotherapy. It is a true healing art, and it is one that is vastly underused understudied, underappreciated, and it’s easy and it’s free and you know, if you have access to water and a way to heat it and a way to cool it down, that’s all you need. And there are so many different hydrotherapy methods.

Amandha: This is something that I did learn formally in naturopathic college. We learned all kinds of using water to heal from, you know, hot chest, like hot and cold, alternating chest wraps, which is a constitutional hydrotherapy. Applying longer cold sessions. You name it. We did all kinds. And one of the books we bought for our classes, I have two.

Amandha: I can’t find my other book right now. But this one is called ‘Lectures in Naturopathic Hydrotherapy’ by Wade Boyle, ND, and André Saine, ND, whom I had the pleasure of meeting. I’ll read your comments in a little bit because I’m filming this as a live Facebook chat. This will go up on YouTube, and my YouTube channel is Yummy Mummy Emporium and Apothecary.

Amandha: So you can find my videos there and please like, subscribe, share, you know, do the happy dance for that. And I appreciate that very much. And also, An announcement, I’m having a new website being built. The address is live. It just has a landing page, and then you can click to my active website, but it’s yummy Mummy emporium.ca.

Amandha: because I’m in Canada A so I’ve got the official Canada. Site. So I’m excited about that. And I have a new logo, which you can see there on the site. And oh, I actually got a mouse pad with it on this is just in green, but it’s pretty, isn’t it? Cause you know, I make products with my hands.

Amandha: I do reiki with my hands. I like slap people with my hands and I’m just kidding. Sometimes I do metaphorically speaking. So anyway, I just thought I’d want to share that. Alright, so let’s get into some of the understanding and the theory between the hot and cold, you know, applications and what they do.

Amandha: I might get a little geeky on you. Sorry, skip this part if you don’t want to go geek. I’m going to go through some of my book. I understand the principles, but I want to use the language so you won’t be confused. We’re talking about hot and cold and their effects, and there are a few opposites going on.

Amandha: Intuitively, it’s what you’d think. When you have a short hot application, it has one effect versus a long application. So if you have a short hot application, under five minutes, you have a stimulative effect on circulation. Makes sense, right?

Amandha: Right? Because you get heat transfer right away into the blood and that character is called intrinsic. So an intrinsic character is when you have this. You have a transfer of the heat into the blood or the temperature into the blood. That’s called intrinsic. Alright? Then if you have a long application of heat, which is over five minutes, you have the opposite effect, you have a depressive effect on the circulatory system.

Amandha: Alright?. And that’s why with the pain, we’ll explain how this works with pain, but you don’t, you want to stimulate when it comes to moving blood, you want to stimulate would want to depress it if you were trying to stop bleeding or you were trying to stop an infarction, something like that.

Amandha: But more likely you would use cold to suppress it. We’ll talk about that. Short hot is intrinsic and stimulative, and long hot is depressive and reactive. What that means by reactive is now the body’s going, ‘Oh, there’s a lot of heat.’

Amandha: We now have to stop this much heat from coming in and it’ll react and it will change the response that your body is providing by decreasing blood flow to the area.

Amandha: Okay I think that’s pretty simple to understand. Alright, I’m glad you’re happy with Full Geek, alright. Short cold now. So we’re, remember we’re doing in the hydrotherapy for pain.

Amandha: We’re doing short, hot and short cold alternate. Alright. So the short cold is less than one minute.

Amandha: And it’s stimulative. Okay?

Amandha: Just the same as the short. Hot is also stimulative. However, the effect is not intrinsic like in the hot. It’s reactive, so your body reacts differently to the cold. What happens is it says, whoa, there’s cold here.

Amandha: ‘We need to do something about this. We can’t have this in the body.’ So we’re going to respond in a reactive way. That’s another reason why you only need a short bout of it rather than a longer bout. Long cold is over one minute of application. It has a depressive effect, as we would expect, but it’s intrinsic.

Amandha: So at that point, there is transfer of the cold going in and the blood is trying to be depressive to stop that from happening. So that I hope I’ve explained that simple part. There’s more to it, but that’s on circulation, that’s its effect on circulation.

Amandha: Okay.

Amandha: So that’s sort of what we would expect.

Amandha: Now you have another effect not just on circulation, but on metabolism, okay? And this is where things get a little bit weird. You have. So in a short cold, okay, what you’re going to get that’s going to help you with the pain is you get increased oxygen absorption. You get increased carbon dioxide excretion, you get increased nitrogen absorption and excretion, increased tissue tone, so the tone of the quality of the tissue, peripheral white blood cell count goes up.

Amandha: Peripheral red blood cell count goes up. And blood glucose, for all you diabetics out there, goes down with short cold. I remember in Germany walking through pools of icy-cold water that they have there. You pull up your pants—I don’t think people were taking their pants off!

Amandha: I think they were pulling up their pants past the knee and they would walk through just a, it only would go up to the knee, this water, and you just walk through it. It’s a very short. and it was known for all these healing benefits and it was hydrotherapy. It was exactly what they were doing. They were reducing blood glucose.

Amandha: They were getting this short cold response, helping stimulate circulation. Another application is called cold-water marching. I do this especially with diabetics who are having problems with their feet, such as peripheral neuropathy, and I have them do it in a safe way.

Amandha: Either someone is holding onto them, or they have a handle to hold onto in the bathtub. They fill the bathtub with water and do cold-water marching for under a minute. You don’t want it very long. Then they take a break and friction-rub their feet with a towel after they get out.

Amandha: And this is very stimulating to the blood flow and assists also in the sugar problem, which is an insulin issue. Okay, so that’s for the short cold. The short hot has some similar and some different responses. It increases oxygen and carbon-dioxide absorption and excretion and decreases tissue tone.

Amandha: So rather than increasing tissue tone, it decreases tissue tone. If something is too tight, like a muscle, you want it to relax. Decrease peripheral white blood cell count, decrease peripheral red blood cell count, and increase blood glucose.

Amandha: So it has a different effect on the body. The, so the effect on now I just want to talk briefly about the effect on the metabolism versus the circulation. So you understand that sometimes you can put yourself in dangerous situations using certain applications that are too lengthy. Now explain that.

Amandha: Why the short hot effect on circulation is stimulative, as we mentioned, and the effect on the metabolism is also stimulative. All right. A long hot, which can be, this is where it can be a little bit dangerous. Okay? So long hot baths where you keep adding hot water. That’s not a good idea. I usually suggest for hot baths, make it hot, but by 20 minutes, let it cool down.

Amandha: You can stay in while it’s kind of tepid. But don’t keep adding hot water. You will cause problems in your body. And I’ll explain that now. So that has a long, hot, has a depressive effect on the circulation, but a stimulative effect on the metabolism. So what’s actually going on there is it’ll cause the heart to have to work more.

Amandha: With blood flow not being where it needs to be, depressing blood flow while stimulating movement or metabolism in the vessels and lymphatic system can lead to an imbalance in the way blood flows through the arteries. I’ve experienced something like that because I have a new bathtub. Yay!

Amandha: Finally, I have a new bathroom. I’ve been testing this out to see how I feel. If I have my bath too hot for too long, what I find at night is my heart beating very hard. Why is my heart beating very hard? It’s because I’ve stimulated my metabolism but decreased my circulation. So what I should do is have a 20-minute hot bath, drain the bath, or at least part of it.

Amandha: Get up, rinse in cold or cool water for 30 seconds, and then I sort of reset things and can go back into the hot bath. That’s what I plan to do, and I’ll report my findings. But that’s a safer way to take long hot baths. I often say to people who take baths not to go over 20 minutes in the hot because of this heart problem.

Amandha: If they find their heart starts beating like that, they’ve done that, and they should go take a cold shower and try to reset the flow of their metabolism. And yes, yay for me to have a bathtub after how many years of not having one? Many. Eight, I think. All right, so short cold.

Amandha: A short cold is stimulative to both the circulation and the metabolism. So that goes back again to that walking, waiting through icy gold water, you know, for a short burst. It’s very stimulating to both of these things can actually help you balance out weight. Doing that on a regular basis, long cold is then also depressive.

Amandha: It is a different response than the way the hot is with the opposites. So it is long hole is depressive and depressive. The other thing to note is that water and air have very different conductivities inside to the body. So the water and the air have different rates of transfer through the skin.

Amandha: That’s why you can sit in 107-degree air and you’re fine, but if you got into water like that, woo, you’d be scalded. Heat transfer between air and water is different. That’s an important note. To go back to the pain application, when you’re doing this stimulation, what are you doing?

Amandha: As you’re really moving along the metabolism, you’re moving along the so all the lymph and all of that is being stimulated into action, into pumping, into moving molecules around, into getting things moved away from that area. And you are moving. And that is what is getting rid of the pain. So people take a lot of pain killers, which are, is suppressive does damage to the organs, damages the liver, damages the kidneys damages the heart.

Amandha: And it will only give you so much until your body adapts and then that suppressive therapy no longer works for you. That’s why, how you get a person like, who called me on seven different pain pills, including morphine, and it’s not touching this pain, right? because the body’s basically saying, I don’t like that.

Amandha: ‘Please stop using it. I’m not even going to make it work. Stop poisoning us.’ You need fewer toxins and solutes in the blood, not more. When you do that, you’re allowing everything to move away and healing to come into that region.

Amandha: So it is not just a suppressive pain therapy, it is actually a curative therapy, something that will heal you, and that’s really what you want. And even this is the DMSO Super Pain Away Cream that I make. The one that said, do you know what you have here? Do you really know? I love her, by the way.

Amandha: I’m not making fun of her. I just think it was so, it was like, I can’t get out of my head the way she said it. It was so serious. But anyway, this is also curative because it has. Actual medicine in it. It has botanical medicine and dimethyl sulfoxide that increases blood flow and again, does that, something like that.

Amandha: But then assists the repair of the tissues and that’s how you get out of the painful situation. Those are the painful situations of engorgement. I’ve seen that in endometriosis where the blood is engorged, it’s pushing all on the inside the organs, and that is of causing a visceral pain. And that visceral pain, you can take all the pain pills you want and it is not going to touch that.

Amandha: And you can, you know, even in certain men situations., it’s really hard to suppress some of that stuff. But if you just help the body release some of the toxic blood and you know, you can use hydrotherapy there as well to move and get the stimulatory effects of moving that out, then you get relief from the internal pressure.

Amandha: Right. So this is I just love this book. I’ve, I should I, I’m meaning to reread it all over again and just refresh it. I mean, this has been 10 years out, so I think since I read this book. And there’s some figures in here which are really nice that show the, sort of the peak of the stimulation what it does to the circulation and then what it does to the metabolism and for the different hot and.

Amandha: It gives you a good visual. There are other ways you can use hot and cold, but the healing art of hydrotherapy is how to balance the blood and move circulation appropriately. The book has some nice little suggestions on what would heal what. For example, it asks which application you would use to stop a bloody nose.

Amandha: Think about it. You would use the long cold application, right? Because it’s a depressive action and you want the blood to stop pouring. Long hot is also depressive, but when it’s bleeding, you don’t want more heat. You want it to close off a little faster. So you would use a long cold application, probably over this area of the face.

Amandha: What effect would a short cold douche to the sacrum have on uterine vessels? It would cause dilation. A short cold, like we said, would cause dilation. That could release tension if you were in spasm, for example.

Amandha: What would a long cold application do to the scalp or the vessels of the brain? It would constrict them. A long cold application could wrap the head. If someone was having a stroke, an ischemic stroke, to stop the blood from pooling, that would be one such immediate or emergency method you could do while you call the ambulance, that kind of thing.

Amandha: Right. So learning a little bit about hydrotherapy, it can go a long way and it’s so simple and yet so. There are also important reflex areas of the body, and this is what I find fascinating, is that the, every part of the skin, the viscera, okay, is connected to all the different organ systems. There’s something called dermatomes you can look up on the body that’s related to different parts.

Amandha: If you understand Chinese medicine, that’s a great way to help you understand. Different parts of the meridians are connected to all the different organ systems. So you have access to these things. What if you have something in the deeper organs, you, how do you get access to them? To affect them directly?

Amandha: Well, you can use the reflex areas of the body to do that. So I’ll read you the reflex areas so you can have an understanding and it’s really fascinating and. and what, when we get to the feet, then you’ll understand, you know, some of the cures that are out there. How amazing the feet are for using the feet to heal.

Amandha: We didn’t go into all the hydrotherapy methods, by the way. We were talking about actually one specific method, which is the alternating aspect of hydrotherapy. You can just use one tempera. in hydrotherapy, you can also use both in the dual way. For example, if you have a head cold, you can use cold on the feet and warm compress on the head.

Amandha: That’s, so it’s using two different methods in the long form on two different parts of the body. Okay. To affect the, again, the movement of the circulation. So the reflex areas, I’ll just go through now for you so you have a general understanding the face. So this aspect of the face is the nasal mucosa and the brain, so brain and nasal mucosa.

Amandha: And then the back of the neck is also the nasal mucosa. So you can affect the nasal mucosa by applying to the nape of the neck. That is a reflex area that relates to the front of the face. Okay, so if you have a nose bleed, you can also apply the cold to the back of the nape of the neck okay, that’s a reflex.

Amandha: For the carotid artery we have, obviously on the side here, the pharynx here. That makes sense. The lungs front and back, so you can apply it front or back or both. Lungs. I had someone who’s having lung spasms do this as well to get fresh air happening. To get a good breath. A lot of congestion was going on, that worked very well.

Amandha: Heart, obviously heart can be front or. Over the heart region in the center. The kidneys also can be low back, so, low back, central. But the kidneys can also be the sternum right here. So if there’s a problem with the kidneys pain, sand, as they call it in the kidneys so stones and so forth, you can apply it over the sternum and over the low back area where the kidneys are located, but you’re applying it on the spinal level, not on the individual kidneys themselves.

Amandha: And it will relate to the kidneys, the bowels and abdominal vissera. Are where you would expect the abdominal cavity and also the back, the entire back span, the bladder and uterus and ovaries. Obviously females only is where you would expect lower just above the pubic synthesis. So just above the pubic bone.

Amandha: And then the genital ary areas are the buttocks and also the front of the thighs the front of the thighs stimulate and have a reflex to the gen uretery area, which is amazing. No, like, Hey baby, rub my, rub, my thighs, turn me on. Maybe there’s something to that. And then here’s where it gets really wild. The prostate or the uterus is on the inner.

Amandha: On the lower inner thigh, that’s the reflex area. So if you ha were trying to treat prostate, how do you treat prostate? You’re going to get all up in there. You can’t uterus how you, I mean, you can get things up in there if you want to, and lots of ways to do that. We can talk about, but I’m saying for ease of hot and gold application, inner lower thigh, just above the knee, that is the application for the hydrotherapy is there.

Amandha: So if you’re having pain in your prostate, that is where. Apply the hot and cold alternating. Okay. Then the hands, so the inside of the hands, the palm here, that is the brains and lung area as well as so brain, wait a second. Yeah. Brains and lung brains. Long ha hands have a lot of end nerves affect.

Amandha: Brain and lung, which is interesting. Feet, bottom. Bottom of the feet. Here’s where it gets cool is intestines and brain. So you can affect the gut and the brain. And we know that the gut affects the brain, that the gut makes a neurotransmitters for the brain, that if your gut’s off your head’s off. So the gut brain.

Amandha: So that’s very fascinating as well, that the reflex organ is the bottom of the feet. And sometimes I tell people with my pain away cream, clean their feet and put it on their feet before bed, and it helps. I also have a dream cream for people who have pain in the night like that wakes them like they’re trying to sleep in.

Amandha: They waken pain. And so it’s called Goodnight Dream Cream, and it’s the same formula as the pain away. Super. But it has additive in it of a gaba, a b6, melatonin, and magnesium. And so it’s extra like knock you down to sleep, right? So you get some healing sleep. But I tell people to put a little bit only on the bottom of the feet as long as the feet are clean, and that affects the gut and it affects the brain.

Amandha: And then it’s more central nervous system effects to help them sleep. And you do the same with the pain cream, if that’s where you’re after. And then the top of the feet are the pelvic organs. So you have ovarian pain, you have middle schmertz. Don’t you know what the middle schmertz is? It’s the pain of ovulation.

Amandha: Yes, it is. And you want to put your cold application on the tops of your feet and hey, you’re, I’m come massage my ovaries,.

Amandha: Hey baby. Wanna stimulate my ovaries tonight? And like, he’s like, oh yeah, that’d probably means something hot. And you’re like, yeah, rub my feet for my feet all night. That’s what I meant. Didn’t you know what I meant? Sorry, I’m being very crass. Okay. So those are the reflex areas. Fascinating. You can do all kinds of manipulation of circulation with hot and cold.

Amandha: There’s just, this is just one aspect, but I wanted you to know about it because. I’ve been telling more and more people about it. I usually also ask people to heal their lymphatic system, doing the hot and cold alternating showers. If they are feeling low vitality immune systems dip down, change of season comes about.

Amandha: Then I have them do it in a shower format and it’s the exact same where you have as hot as you can tolerate. So it will make the skin a little bit red or ruber, and you will do that for three minutes and then you put it on as cold as you can handle it. You don’t hurt yourself. And more pain isn’t better.

Amandha: Like, you know, don’t be a tough guy and then put it on, you know, 30 seconds and you’ll sing opera because it’s really cold. Especially you have a benefit of you’ve just applied heat and now you’re applying cold. You have that extra added bonus of the back to back effect. Right,? Yeah. So you feel that and then you sing your opera and then you move on.

Amandha: Do the hot again. And I usually like to end my showers that way. I’ve done all the business and then I get to the end and I do the hot and cold alternating end on cold come out and cold tightens the pores as well. Closes everything up. Your hair gets nice and shinier and everything closes up all the pores of the shaft of the hair, of the part of the hair that’s gets opened by heat and shampoo and all that stuff.

Amandha: Get out and then you friction rub towel dry so you, you towel so you warm back up with the towel warmth. So that’s the way to do that. And once you start doing it, you can tolerate cold weather, way better. You have just pumped blood in such a refined way and stimulated your metabolism and moved your lymphatic system and tissue.

Amandha: It is one of the most powerful things you can do. And again, simple. You shower what? Every day. Some people shower like twice a day. So use it. It doesn’t take that long. And once you get used to it, you want it, you long for it, you’re like excited to have that. It takes maybe about three or four showers and then you’re hooked.

Amandha: You’re totally hooked. And if you feel good being outside in the cold weather, because of a few hot and cold alternating showers. It’s worth it. So okay, I’m going to look at the comments real quick now and see about what you have to say today. Oh, and you can go to my website, which is Yummy Mummy Emporium.

Amandha: I have so many websites. YummyMummyEmporium.ca is my new one with the landing page. If you want to go direct, go to YummyMummyEmporium.org or YummyMummyApothecary.com, like I said. Okay, so where are we? Hi, hello! A beloved family member has spinal stenosis and is in agony.

Amandha: Spinal stenosis. They’re hoping someone can help her with this and MSM and magnesium. I really hope she can have some. Yes, I don’t know the specific case, obviously. I would definitely do the alternating hot and cold for her, probably over the local area of the damage and then over—well, do the feet.

Amandha: Because the feet go directly into the nervous system, the central nervous system. I would do that. Yes, magnesium. I have the one here; this is just a small one. The Ease magnesium is on my website. Spray that all over liberally. Put DMSO on. I have pure DMSO as well, but you do have to dilute pure DMSO, or you can use the one that I make with added nutrients.

Amandha: You can rub that over there as well, and then the pain cream. I do the triad for people who are really badly off. Like the gentleman who’s got all this pain in his leg and hip and everything, he’s going to do the triad. He’s going to do all three at once and get it healed up. So I would start there and do the hydrotherapy, and then she might have to book to see me so we can understand more about what’s going on.

Amandha: Okay. Hearts and love and all these hearts. Hearts and yays. Thank you. How good is CBD oil for pain? Really good. It’s in my pain away cream and the goodnight cream. So it’s a CBD strain hemp strain. and it works excellently. I usually recommend it topical because then you don’t get the same detox effects as you would if you in ingest it or inhale it.

Amandha: I prefer it transdermally. That is one of the best ways to use it appropriately without putting your body into all these detox responses because the can cannabinoids have to be detoxed by the liver. So you really want to make sure if you’re doing that, you’re increasing your glutathione levels and your magnesium and making sure you’re hydrated so that your liver could actually do that.

Amandha: Okay, so that’s what her MD called it to explain the pain in her back. I understand. I don’t want to make this too long. I just wanted to explain this hydrotherapy-for-pain procedure and have you understand some of the reasoning behind it and how effective it is.

Amandha: And then you have that tool in your natural healing tool belt, and you don’t have to pop a Tylenol or an Advil or a Motrin or a. When you have pain, you can apply this method first. So you do all of the holistic treatments first as you can. And if you know, if it doesn’t touch it, then you have to look, go back to the drawing board and go, okay, what’s, what am I missing?

Amandha: Am I missing a key nutrient? Am I not detoxing properly due to my liver not functioning optimally? What do I need to do here to help the blood nourish and heal that back, and get the inflammatory markers out of the way? That’s really the goal, right? The way Tylenol and these things work, they just shut off the pain signal.

Amandha: So everything bad is still happening to you. You just don’t recognize it in the brain. These methods actually signal to the brain, and it’s a true relief rather than a pretend kind, without all the side effects and damage. A lot of those medications really destroy the gut.

Amandha: And like I said, they, the gut affects your brain and how can you think through something when you have destroyed your gut? And I also know that it’s hard to think when you’re in a lot of pain. I get that. And I said to the gentleman on the phone, I said, I know it’s so. For you to think when all you can think about is getting out of this pain in, in some way.

Amandha: And that’s why I said to him, just focus now with me. Just do some deep breathing, get some extra oxygen and drink a glass of water and write this down. And if you have help, try to get someone to help you do it. If not, you know, just focus. And get this set up for yourself and you’ll be able to think after that and plan the next, you know, the next layers of what you need to do for yourself.

Amandha: There are lots of ways to heal yourself. Do not despair. There’s always a way out of your situation. You just have to have the knowledge. You just have to know these things. So kudos to you for learning some a new skill today and share that with other people who might be in pain. Okay. And again my website is available for the pain creams and the magnesium and the dimethyl sulfoxide.

Amandha: And for those who don’t know what DMSO is, you can watch my videos on that topic. I am trying to cover as many topics as I can. What’s happened is I’ve gotten extremely busy and I do appreciate, you know, all the emails and phone calls. In outreach, it’s wonderful. I just am one woman and who needs staff desperately, and it’s very challenging for me to get back to everybody as timely as I would ideally like to.

Amandha: So I do appreciate kindness around that. And if you don’t hear from me you know, within, say between three and five days, then send me another message kind message. All right? I don’t take nice to threats and so forth and judgements on where I’m at. So you want my cooperation, you know what I’m saying?

Amandha: Because I just had couple, well, I had one particular, but I’ve had a couple, you know, very impatient types., I know you want it now. We’re in like a culture that has trained us to want everything instantaneous and it’s a very self culture for the most part. So, you know, I understand we want things now, but going to have to wait for the value to come along.

Amandha: You don’t always get value quickly, so you have to respect that. Anyway, what’s with the light? That was weird. Love you lots, and thank you for joining me this evening. Please write this down and keep it in your book. My light bulb is dying. That was weird. This is weird.

Amandha: Woo.

Amandha: Anyway, I guess Halloween’s coming. Say your prayers. Yeah, Satan’s holiday is coming, everybody, so batten down the hatches. All righty, that was weird. I won’t belabour it. I miss you all. I’ll try and do more videos. I’ll do my best. And I’m homeschooling my daughter now, and that’s been taking up some of my usual video time, but she needs it, so that’s what I’ve got to do.

Amandha: So, alright, before this gets spooky and freaks me out.

Amandha: We’ll say bye. Ciao for now.
