Hello HPS Shannon, I was wondering where do you start studying about health, the body, herbs ecc you seem to know a lot about it and it seems that you are studying it so I’d love to know how to get into it.
There’s naturopathy and holistic sciences bachelor degrees that look very interesting but I do not want to do such thing as a profession as I am set in doing something that gives me the opportunity to have more or less a stable job, work from home(not always) and be able to make good money.
It just feels like something that I should know, so it might be good to study it.
Yes, everyone should know atleast basic information about their bodies and health. It also partly depends on your personal interest and such. Did you look at your astro chart, do you feel a calling for healing?
I notice that people who are very much in the health and wellness field have indicators in their charts.
I always wanted to be a healer or get into the holistic field but with my path and obligations here in Satanism, I cannot. I cant be a doctor, so I have to just do self study on my own. My interest in health is enhanced in my chart.
It can take years to gather knowledge on health. My interest began when I had alot of sicknesses growing up and decided to do things myself.
The best way is the interdisciplinary route.
Meaning study different forms of health like ayurveda, western medicine, healing through microbes, nutritional healing, Traditional chinese medicine, physical therapy, herbal healing, dietary healing, etc.
Integrative healing is the best way. You will find that all these healing systems lead to eachother or atleast highly compliment eachother.
Start with reading about basic nutrition-- what vitamins, minerals and food compounds do and how they interact with benefit the body and eachother. It helps to know about plants and plant compound production like in beauty products, lotions, oils,etc
Study basic anatomy, the organs, the skin, the blood, and basic diseases.
Study chemicals(environmental and biological) and disease and toxins and how they affect the body.
Take notes when you read health information from different sources, understand how they relate. Be openminded. It also helps to ask questions. I learned alot from you all, and CentralForce is great with health too. I learned alot from him.
The good thing about the internet is there is so much online on natural healing sciences in different branches.
If I were you, I may start with TCM, basic nutrition, basic anatomy and basic herbal healing. How does that sound?
Do you have a specific field of health that you want to study?
Maybe over time we all can pick one health subject a week and go over it so that everyone can learn about it as if taking a health course.
