One Saturday afternoon, me and my mommy-blogger friends: Nilyn of Above Precious Rubies, Madz of Mommy N More and Berlin of Momi Berlin attended a relevant talk about natural and alternative ways of healing. The talk was organized by The Parenting Emporium, a store of premium baby and childcare brands and a venue of learning and childhood support for parents and caregivers. TPE is located at New Manila, Quezon City near Robinsons Magnolia.
I was drawn to the topic since I'm personally not a fan medicinal drugs. I don't usually take medicine as long as my immune system can handle, like for common cold or even abdominal pain (monthly period). I always stick to natural options like eating healthy foods, lots of water and getting an enough rest. And now that I'm a mother, I want this habit to be passed on to my son and not to become a "drug-dependent" as he grows older. Anyway, here are the important things I learned during this talk discussed by Dr. Divina Hey-Gonzales.

It works on the basis of the presence of the energy body or the life force or vital force body of the human being.

Our liver is the biggest life force organ of the body. Regular bowel movement helps to detoxify our liver and nurtured by eating greens like malunggay, alfalfa, barley grass, wheat grass and spirulina.

1. VCO that is not oxidized and not bleached is good for our toddlers. Take 1 tbsp every morning to detoxify their bodies.
2. Ampalaya leaves is another best option instead of VCO.
3. An egg must be given for 3 years old and above.
