Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)
-
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [556].
-
Conditions as we find are very good in many respects.
-
As we find, there only needs to be those precautions taken as to keeping the proper balance between eliminations and assimilations.
-
Especially through this spring period it would be MOST helpful for the body to use Sassafras Tea about three times a week. Make it as ordinary tea, with strength as to taste. Do not use cream, though, in this.
-
Also we find that occasionally the Saffron Tea would be well to include; say about twice a week. The American Saffron is as well, if brewed properly. Put about a heaping teaspoonful in a pint of water and steep as tea.
-
These properties as a tonic or stimulant in the assimilating system would produce and keep, with the digestive forces, the proper reactions as to prevent recurrence of disturbing conditions that have been indicated for this body heretofore.
-
Specific exercises morning and evening, proper precautions as to diet, and we should keep near to normal.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) What should be done for swelling over his eye again? (A) Take those things indicated to produce the better eliminations of poisons in the system, AND the exercises to keep the proper distribution of used energies from and in their proper relations as one portion of the system to another.
-
(Q) How may he prevent food causing gas? (A) These as just indicated. The specific activity as we find of the Saffron as it will work with the gastric activity, especially of the duodenum from which source most of the gas emanates.
Do those.
Then don’t eat too fast, an be careful that there are not the combinations where excess quantities of acid-producing or starchy foods are taken.
- We are through with this Reading.
