肾上腺的救星 - 甘草根

甘草根是这个时代的救星，是当今世界最重要的草药，如同骆驼一般，可以带领我们走出慢性疾病的沙漠。

一．   病毒的终极克星

为什么甘草对今天的世界健康如此重要？因为这是对抗当今病毒大爆炸的终极武器。疱疹病毒（包括EB病毒、人类疱疹病毒6型、巨细胞病毒和带状疱疹等）是纤维肌痛、慢性疲劳综合症、美尼尔氏症、肾上腺疲劳、各类自身免疫性疾病（诸如桥本甲状腺炎、类风湿性关节炎）、眩晕、头晕、各种身体疼痛、身体各种部位的神经痛等症状背后的真正原因。

自身免疫性疾病的理论只是一个错误的理论，并不是真相。我们的身体永远不会攻击自己，造成病症的是这些疱疹病毒的各类变体，这就是为什么在今天我们需要强有力的抗病毒药物。甘草根中的植物化学物成分和抗病毒特性能够阻止病毒繁衍，同时将病毒排出体外，让病毒难以在体内环境中生存。在本世纪错误的自身免疫理论造成的一片混乱之中，甘草根是我们可以使用的最强大对抗病毒的工具之一。

二．     肾上腺的强大充电器

甘草根对于低血压患者来说也具有令人难以置信的疗效，可以通过减轻不健康的肝火舒缓肝脏。同时甘草也是当今最重要的肾上腺修复草本。红景天、圣罗勒、人参，甚至印度人参（南非醉茄）等流行的支持内分泌草药的功效都远不及甘草。当然以上这些草药都很有用，因为都可以支撑肾上腺，如果肾上腺处于疲弱状态，这些草药可以避免肾上腺进一步恶化。但甘草根就像肾上腺的电池充电器一样，可以使其从疲劳状态中解脱出来，并提升其功能状态。

要知道现在关于甘草存在许多矛盾的观点，包括许多误解。请不要被负面信息所误导，这将对疗愈造成负面影响。

三．     甘草的摄入方法

如果想摆脱咖啡因的困扰，请改喝甘草根茶，具有惊人的能量提升作用。如果消化食物遇到困难，或在餐馆里吃了一顿糟糕的饭菜，请喝甘草茶帮助消化。

甘草可以以茶的形式摄入，或者选择无酒精且无添加的液体滴剂形式。

四．甘草根可以帮助改善或疗愈的疾病和症状

如果有以下疾病或症状，建议摄入甘草根：

疾病：纤维肌痛、慢性疲劳综合症、莱姆病、美尼尔氏症、肾上腺疲劳、神经病变、格雷夫斯病、间质性膀胱炎、憩室炎、憩室病、各种自身免疫性疾病（尤其是桥本甲状腺炎、狼疮和类风湿性关节炎）、骨髓炎、偏头痛、消化系统疾病、链球菌性喉炎、眩晕、EB病毒、单核细胞增多症、带状疱疹、抑郁症、失眠、喉炎、青春痘、尿路感染、坐骨神经痛胃食管反流病；

症状：头晕、身体疼痛、焦虑、神经痛、下巴痛、脖子痛、肩膀痛、脑雾、刺痛和麻感、便秘、胃痛、头痛、疲劳、恶心、甲亢、阑尾炎症、甲状腺功能减退、胃炎、食物过敏、贝尔面瘫、手脚冰凉、更年期症状、口腔溃疡、酸返流、耳鸣或嗡嗡声、肩周炎、大脑炎症、颞下颌关节问题、经前综合症、胃酸水平低下、阴道灼痛、阴道疼痛、溃疡（包括消化性溃疡）、抽动、痉挛、吞咽问题、心悸、肝脏功能不佳、骨盆疼痛，性欲减退、脾脏炎症

五．甘草根的情感支持

甘草根对于任何通过肠道而不是头脑处理情绪的人来说是很棒的。如果很小的误解会让你感到肚子痛，或让消化道紧张、情绪不佳或在感觉肚子打了结一般，甘草可以帮助预防并减轻痛苦。

正确使用甘草可以使饱受疾病困扰的人恢复健康。生过病的人知道疗愈是一个神圣的奇迹。虽然没有遭受病痛的人可能看到的只是一个人恢复了正常，但经历过病痛的人知道任何帮助疗愈的事物本身就是奇迹。甘草告诉我们，小奇迹在我们周围到处存在，但只有去掉我们眼睛上的遮挡物时我们才会意识到。我们生活中还有什么看似平常，但确是宇宙奇迹的事物？

Licorice Root

Licorice root is a savior. It is the most important herb of today’s world, the camel to carry you through the desert of chronic illness. Why is licorice so critical? Because it is the ultimate weapon against the viral explosion. As you read about in the “Save Yourself” chapter, herpetic viruses (including Epstein-Barr, HHV-6, cytomegalovirus, and shingles) are so often behind mystery illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, Ménière’s disease, and adrenal fatigue, as well as symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, body aches and pains, and nerve pains in the jaw, neck, shoulder—not to mention those conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis that are labeled “autoimmune.” (If you’d like full explanations of any of these illnesses, my first book covers them in detail.)

The body does not attack itself; strains and mutations of these herpes viruses do—which is why we need a potent antiviral on our side. That essential antiviral is licorice root. Its phytochemicals and antiviral properties stop a virus from procreating and at the same time push the virus out of the body, making your system as inhospitable as possible for viruses that want to take up residence there. In the autoimmune confusion of the 21st century, licorice root is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.

Licorice root is also incredible for people with low blood pressure, and it helps soothe the liver by lowering liver heat. Not to mention that licorice is the most important adrenal restorative we have today. Popular herbs such as rhodiola, holy basil, ginseng, and even ashwagandha don’t do a fraction of what licorice does for the endocrine glands. These other herbs are useful because they support the adrenals where they are, so if you have underactive adrenals, the herbs keep them from dropping even lower. Licorice root, on the other hand, acts like a battery charger for the adrenals: it brings them out of a fatigued state and increases their capacity to function to your advantage.

Note that there are conflicting views out there about licorice, including many misconceptions. Try not to get drawn into the negatives—you will be cheated out of healing.

CONDITIONS

If you have any of the following conditions, try bringing licorice root into your life:

Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Lyme disease, Ménière’s disease, adrenal fatigue, neuropathy, Graves’ disease, interstitial cystitis、diverticulitis, diverticulosis, all autoimmune diseases and disorders (especially Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis), osteomyelitis, migraines, digestive disorders, strep throat, vertigo, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)/mononucleosis, shingles, depression, insomnia, laryngitis, acne, adrenal fatigue, urinary tract infections (UTIs), sciatica, migraines, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Licorice root is wonderful for anyone who processes emotions through the gut instead of the head. If you feel like the simplest of misunderstandings give you a stress stomachache, or if you hold tension in your gut, deal with emotional agita, or get butterflies in the tummy, licorice helps prevent and relieve your suffering.

SPIRITUAL LESSON

When used correctly, licorice can bring back the health of people who have been struggling with illness for much of their lives. If you’ve ever been sick, you know that healing is a divine wonder. While those who haven’t suffered may see others’ healing as just getting back to normal, you know just what a miracle “normal” is—and anything that plays a role in restoring someone’s well-being is a miracle in itself. Licorice teaches us that small miracles like these are all around us, though we’ll only recognize them if we don’t have on our blinders. What else in your life seems commonplace, and yet is a marvel of the universe?

TIPS

If you’re trying to get off of caffeine, try licorice root tea instead. First thing in the morning, it can be an incredible energy booster.

When you’re having trouble digesting food, or you’ve just eaten a bad meal out at a restaurant, drink licorice tea to help the digestion process along.

Feel free to use licorice as an herbal tea or in its alcohol-free tincture form.

愿天下人健康、平安、健康。
