Your body has an innate intelligence to rebalance itself, but sometimes it gets stuck and needs support. Your symptoms explain to you what your body is trying to do, which provides insight into how you can support it.
When your body is fighting a pathogen, its goal is to attack and expel it. Your immune system is activated creating symptoms of feeling warm, pain, and/or fatigue:
Feeling Warm
Heat increases the activation of your immune system. It also makes it difficult for pathogens to reproduce.
Fatigue, Aches & Pains
Inflammation can cause aches & pains, but it is also your body’s strategy to deter you from diverting your energy away from the fight.
Ideally you listen and support your body by resting and hydrating versus reducing your fever or engaging it activities. You can also use a natural tool that is in service to your body’s process.
These are my favorite go-to’s when anyone in my household is starting to get sick:
| Elderberry with oregano oil | Common cold symptoms without a sore throat |
| Yin Qiao San | Common cold symptoms with a sore throat |
| Oscillicococcium | Initial onset flu-like symptoms |
| Homeopathic Belladonna | When a fever gets high suddenly |
When your body is unable to resolve a pathogen, it transitions from fighting it to placing it into storage. This requires continual resources to manage it.
You might have noticed that when you are feeling run down, chronic symptoms can manifest. These are often due to your trapped pathogens becoming free and active, causing damage. This is a contributing factor to chronic illness and pain.
Your Pattern of Disharmony is a Chinese medical diagnostic term which describes the imbalance that is generating your presenting symptoms. Practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine use this pattern to create a personalized treatment that more accurately targets your presentation, and therefore more effectively supports your body to regain its balance.
