Reduction in Swelling, Inflammation & Scar Tissue

If an organ is swollen, or out of optimal position, it can lean on arteries/veins, nerves, and lymphatic vessels resulting in decreased function and/or pain. Another often overlooked possible obstruction is scar tissue. If scar tissue builds up it can impair the flow the body needs to be healthy and functioning. If blood flow is impaired in any way, toxins build up and this may disrupt the proper functions of the body and emotional and physical health of the individual.

Uterus Alignment

Ttraditional healers believe that female problems usually stem from one source: a uterus that has dropped from its proper position. Fertility challenges, PMS, painful periods, constipation, difficult pregnancies, miscarriages, endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, menstrual irregularity, painful intercourse, vaginitis and other issues may all be root causes of a uterus that is out of alignment and unable to function properly. In Dr. Rosita Arvigo’s book ‘Rainforest Home Remedies’ she states that ‘seventy-five percent of women suffer from what is called a prolapsed, or tipped, uterus. This means that because medical science does not acknowledge the alignment of the uterus, many female issues are being treated without ever having the underlying cause addressed.”
