Thyroid & Chronic Fatigue: leveraging the strength of the lion to restore vital force

The power and vitality of lion energy can free you from chronic fatigue

Jenny was the life and soul of the party. She was a great organizer, loved to entertain and was an engaging host. Her house was full of laughter, love and fun. But as she approached middle age, she started to feel sluggish. She gained weight. She started to forget things and had trouble concentrating. She felt like she was living in a fog. Her doctor put her on thyroid medication. Thyroid and chronic fatigue are often linked since the thyroid gland controls your metabolism. Jenny had also a had a partial hysterectomy to correct endometriosis. By the time she found me, she was losing her hair, suffering from constipation, joint pain, fatigue and inflammation. She was having trouble sleeping, trouble losing weight, and trouble standing up. In her own words, she had “lost her spark.”

When a client comes with a series of chronic issues, Homeopaths don’t look at each issue individually. We don’t prescribe one medicine for this and another for that. Instead, we look at you as an individual, a complete system of mind, body and spirit that has a unique and individual energy. Your energy, your personal frequency, is different from everyone else’s. As a classically trained homeopath, I knew I would find something in nature that resonated exactly with Jenny’s frequency and from that resonance her body would start to heal itself. 

I asked Jenny to tell me more about herself. I wanted to know her on the deepest level. I wanted to understand what makes her tick. I asked her about her life growing up, the challenges she faces in everyday life and how she deals with them. I asked about family health, her dad and mom, who they were, what illnesses they suffered from. Jenny was a strong person who had overcome some heavy situations in her life and at one point tried to commit suicide. She said she felt like a caged animal, with no freedom or control over her own life. She loves animals and especially the big cats because they exude power, they are fast and beautiful and free.

When someone has confronted a lot of abuse in their family background, as Jenny had, and when they have a love of animals, especially unusual animals, they often respond well to a milk remedy. There are many milk remedies in homeopathy - everything from homogenized milk and fat free milk to cat milk, dog milk, llama milk, dolphin milk, and many other mammals, each carrying the signature energy of the animal. Milks are carefully collected from living females who have just given birth. The mother animal is not hurt, nor are her babies. It’s a loving process. Mother’s milk is nurturing and protective. Those who have had poor relationships with their mother often benefit from milk remedies. 

I gave Jenny lion’s milk because she resonated with the power and freedom of a lion. At first her energy picked up. She began to feel her old spark return. As we continued treatment she worked with her doctor to reduce her thyroid medications - her thyroid had started to work on its own. She was inspired to change her diet. Her inflammation improved, her pains were reduced and she lost some weight organically without really trying. Over time, her thyroid starting functioning fully by itself and her doctor ended her thyroid prescription. Jenny had no idea how deeply homeopathy could act. She wanted a boost in energy and she got a complete health makeover.
