So many people ask for ‘natural alternatives’ to sleeping pills, Ritalin and anti-depressants. These drugs are designed to override the body’s mechanisms and do their thing, despite what is going on inside you.  They have no different reaction in people who eat healthy or junk food eaters, for example.  So the short answer is no, there is nothing natural that overrides the body’s natural mechanisms. Healing the body through natural means requires patience and vigilance. We are required to observe and respond, to persevere and to be aware of the healing process.  Just as skin and bone do not heal overnight despite casts and splints, all of our mechanisms take time to heal.  And if things have gone awry we should not be seeking a pill to make it right as quick as possible.  Rather we should be looking into why it happened, what went wrong and what steps do we take to rectify, repair and heal.  And we can heal.  Almost everything that went wrong can be put right if we ask the right questions and go about the healing in the right way…
