Balanced Natural Health with Dr. Maz Dr. Maz Roginski (BHSc. Chinese Medicine)

With the weather getting cooler where I live, I am seeing more and more sniffles and cold-like presentations around me. I am also hearing people talk about “catching” something from each other or spreading “germs” and.I wanted to share a different perspective that is the view from ancient Chinese Medicine texts (up to 2,500 years old!), as well as the view expounded by some very bold present-day scientists, doctors and virologist - even a Nobel prize winning one, for those that get into that. This is a view that is empowering and does not place us as a victim at the mercy of invisible attackers - with all the stress and fear that that brings with it. It is view that offers a different perspective to the theory (and it’s only a theory) of contagion.

I like to remind people that only several decades ago, we were demonising bacteria and now we embrace probiotics and understanding the importance of a robustly balanced and diverse microbiome. There are no goodies and baddies. 

This is a way of looking at the world that tends to our inner terrain and the health of our inner world - terrain theory, as opposed to germ theory. It explains why some people don’t get sick, even when those around them do. It may also shed light on why many practitioners and doctors can spend all day in close proximity with sniffly people, and yet we don’t magically catch those symptoms. Why is that?

Chinese Medicine considers that we are woven in to Mama Nature and the world around us. When our energy - our Qi - is coherent and anchored, when our Shen (consciousness) is clear and present, and when we are in alignment with the cycles of nature, we flow with ease and health. When not, we manifest signs of “dis-ease” - a disruption to our healthy flow and energy. 

NB: it is worth pointing out that the “pathogens” mentioned in this ancient text generally refer to imbalanced energies or climatic influences.

In today’s episode, I answer some awesome questions from the community, such as:

• what are the signs that your liver may be sluggish?

• what are your thoughts on enemas?

• how to manage symptoms of menopause?

• how to protect bone as we age?

• can you get your eyesight back?

• what is the link between a presentation of pelvic floor, bunions, thinning teeth and receding gums?

It’s interesting to note that as we go through and discuss solutions for a range of presentations, the root solutions often remain the same. Yes, there are additional remedies we can apply in specific situations for relief of the messages (symptoms), but if we keep digging to the root of the causes, very often we see common triggers such as inflammation, digestion that could do with some love, stress, limiting emotional patterns, belief habits, etc.

The good news is that if we actively work to support our foundation with key tweaks such as wholefoods, emotional expression, movement, structuring our body water, mindfulness, connection and reducing toxins, we can resolve the body-mind-soul’s calls for help and proactively create vibrant wellness in our future! Winning!

You are you own healer and you know your body best! 

Health professionals can offer (often much-needed) help and guidance, but ultimately, you are the expert on YOU, and you are the one having YOUR unique body-mind-soul experience, each and every moment. Getting curious about, and listening to, the messages that your whole self is sending you allows you to collect data on what best nourishes you - and how you can live to fulfil the fullest and most vibrant expression of yourself.

One of the many things that I love about Chinese Medicine is that it is an embodied medicine that invites us to get curious about these messages from the body-mind-soul - or what some may call disease or symptoms. In this episode I would love to share with you some of the questions that I commonly ask in clinic - the asking and witnessing of which can lead to deeper communication and connection with our whole self.

All water is not created equal!

We are learning that there’s an additional, fourth, phase of water – in addition to the three standard ones (ice, liquid water and steam) we were taught at school. This fourth phase of water sits between the solid and liquid phases: it is slightly more viscous than liquid water (also called “bulk” water) as its molecules are more regularly arranged than those in standard, bulk water. Structured water is arranged in sheets of hexagonal lattices, which confers a whole host of unique properties, such as the exclusion of certain molecules (hence the name, “exclusion zone” water), conduction of electricity and higher electrical potential and changes in pH (which measures acid-alkaline status). 

By weight, we are approximately 60% water – but by molecular count (counting all the molecules that make up all the cells in all of our body parts) we are closer to 99% water. That’s a lot of water, and so the state and qualities of that water will have a direct impact on our health and vitality. Is the water in our body coherent and vital, allowing transmission of nerve signals and other messages? Are the tissues of our bodies nourished by water with greater potential to carry charge and hold electrolytes? In this episode we dive deep into structured water - what it is, why it's vital to our health, where to find it and how to make more of it.

My intention for this episode is to open up our scope of thinking and perception to include the myriad ways in which we are interconnected. One of the many, many aspects of Chinese Medicine that I love is the acknowledgment that we are woven in to the rich fabric of life and the world around us. We are not separate, and we do not end at our skin. Opening our minds to this understanding offers us many additional realms or "channels" - beyond the merely material - in which to observe how our vitality is affected to either our benefit or detriment. This perspective gifts us greater power and agency to make tweaks or choices in our every day that can support our healing and greater vitality.

Our oldest medical texts codify the understanding of climatic, seasonal and environmental effects on our body-mind-soul, and offer solutions for aligning with these cycles for optimal health. The ancient sages worked out a 60 year calendar of Stems and Branches, which clearly map fluctuations in climate over this period - knowledge that has been corroborated in recent research into climatic and astronomical cycles affecting weather patterns. Modern research also aligns with ancient wisdom about the effects of cosmic and galactic weather, and the influence of heavenly bodies. On a more micro level, Feng Shui is a recognition of the importance of our local environment for our health and abundance.

In addition to our environment, whether cosmic or domestic, we are also connected across time in the form of ancestral memory and inheritance, past life / soul imprints, and in the form of shared cultural history and identity that shapes our beliefs about health and healing. The realm of ideas and beliefs -- very often the unconscious and unexamined ones - also wields a profound impact on our health: just consider the powerful healing effects of "inert" placebos. Expanding our perspective beyond the physical and material gifts us so much more awareness, which in turn can lead to greater healing!

In the previous episode, we explored the fact that we - and all living beings - are emitting light in the form of biophotons. These patterns of our light emission carry information, can be reflective of our state of health, and are open to modulation and cultivation. Many of the ancient sciences, like Chinese Medicine and yoga, were already aware of these subtle energetic flows, and codified methods for their maintenance and optimisation. It makes sense, therefore, to look to this traditional knowledge for the ways in which we modern souls can also cultivate our light bodies for greater health and vitality.

In this episode, we talk about simple, accessible things that we can easily do to nourish our light bodies and boost our health.
