Addressing the Nervous System with DesBio’s Mental-Emotional Remedies
In a recent webinar, Allison Rassp, CHHP, shared valuable insights on addressing the nervous system using DesBio’s mental-emotional remedies. This comprehensive guide summarizes key points from her presentation, aiming to enhance practitioners’ understanding of the nervous system’s role in chronic illness and provide strategies for supporting patients using DesBio’s innovative products and the Power of Three approach.
The Missing Link in Chronic Illness
Many practitioners find that patients hit a plateau in their healing journey, even with well-designed physical protocols. Addressing the mental-emotional aspect is often the missing link in achieving breakthrough results. Symptoms often keep recurring until the nervous system and mental-emotional aspects are adequately addressed.
Understanding the Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in overall health. When discussing the nervous system with patients, it’s essential to understand:
- Everything in the body is connected through the autonomic nervous system.
- Many patients are stuck in a sympathetic nervous system state (fight-or-flight).
- The body is constantly searching for safety, which can manifest as various symptoms.
Childhood Trauma and Long-Term Health
Research suggests that childhood traumatic stress may increase the likelihood of autoimmune diseases in adulthood. This underscores the importance of addressing mental-emotional aspects when supporting patients with chronic conditions.
The Four F’s of the Nervous System
The concept of the “Four F’s” of the nervous system response can help practitioners identify which mental-emotional remedies may be most beneficial for their patients:
- Flight
- Fight
- Fawn
- Freeze
Flight Response
Characteristics:
- Anxiety
- Hypersensitivity to symptoms
- Inability to relax
- Perfectionism
- Fear and panic
Recommended remedy: PTS Stress, which may temporarily relieve symptoms associated with stress and anxiety.
Fight Response
Characteristics:
- Anger and outbursts
- Irritability
- Defensive behavior
- Controlling tendencies
Recommended remedy: Rage, which may temporarily relieve symptoms associated with irritability and anger.
Fawn Response
Characteristics:
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- People-pleasing behavior
- Lack of identity
- Codependency
Recommended remedy: Esteem, which may temporarily relieve symptoms associated with low self-esteem and boundary issues.
Freeze Response
Characteristics:
- Feeling stuck or immobilized
- Difficulty making decisions
- Procrastination
- Isolation
- Numbness or dissociation
Recommended remedy: Motivation, which may temporarily relieve symptoms associated with feeling stuck or unmotivated.
Implementing Mental-Emotional Remedies in Your Practice
Adding mental-emotional remedies to your protocols may provide numerous benefits:
- Improved patient compliance
- More successful protocol outcomes
- Faster symptom relief
- Increased trust between practitioner and patient
- Effective support for sensitive patients
The recommended dosage is 10 drops of the chosen remedy added to water three times daily, allowing patients to sip throughout the day.
Dietary Considerations
Diet plays a crucial role in managing nervous system issues. Educate patients on the importance of a balanced diet, reducing sugar and processed foods, and incorporating nutrient-dense whole foods to support overall health and nervous system function.
Addressing Co-existing Conditions
It’s important to consider that many patients may have co-existing conditions that interact with their nervous system issues. When developing protocols, consider addressing these conditions alongside the mental-emotional aspects for a more comprehensive approach.
Case Studies
Allison shared several case studies that demonstrate the potential benefits of mental-emotional remedies in supporting various chronic conditions. View the webinar for more details!
These cases from Allison’s webinar highlight the importance of addressing both the physical and mental-emotional aspects of chronic illness for optimal results.
Choosing the Right Remedy
While patients may experience multiple nervous system states, it’s recommended to start with one or two of the most prominent “F’s” observed. DesBio offers a helpful chart to guide practitioners in selecting the most appropriate remedy based on patient symptoms and behaviors.
Remember that patients may cycle through different nervous system states, so having multiple remedies on hand can be beneficial for ongoing support.
The Power of Three Approach
DesBio’s Power of Three approach recognizes that traditional protocols often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern health challenges. By incorporating mental-emotional remedies, practitioners can support the mental-emotional, energetic, and physical dimensions of health, providing a more comprehensive approach to patient care.
