We all know about the Pancreas because we know it is involved in Diabetes and that it is somehow responsible for managing blood sugar through producing a substance called insulin.
While the Liver and Kidneys are crucial organs and we cannot survive without them working, there are all sorts of other member organs involved in our metabolism which don't seem to be so critical. These include the Pituitary, Thyroid, Spleen and Adrenals as well as the Pancreas.
Life can continue, even with serious damage to one or more of these organs, as the other partners share amongst them some of the load but these secondary organs are by no means unnecessary and perfect health cannot be experienced without all member organs being healthy, supported and working well.
There is a finely balanced harmony between all the systems of the body including all the organs above and the other major systems like the Urogenital System, the Digestive System, the Nervous System, the Cardio Vascular System and the Immune System.
Hormonal and nervous system messages are being exchanged between each system and the individual members of each system constantly, all aimed at tuning the entire metabolism to respond to the day to day and moment to moment demands of this most complex of machines, the human body.
Pancreatic conditions seem to develop in individuals more from emotional causes, than most other conditions.
In particular, an emotional deficit best described as a lack of sweetness in a persons life, and I don't mean a lack of candy.
Very caring and supportive people are amongst those who develop the two main illness of the pancreas, diabetes and pancreatic cancer. These folk, for all their virtue and caring often do not experience sufficient emotional nourishment, of a sweet and intimite, nature in their own lives, and sometimes compensate by craving sweet food. This can lead on through to diabetes and to pancreatic cancer in some cases.
I also suspect that certain agricultural chemicals may be involved in pancreatic cancer and I see cases of very well supported folk from the land, going directly to cancer without passing through the other stages more typical of the route described above.
I see the pancreas as a more sensitive organ than most and when treating it, I rely on herbs to support the associated systems as much as those supporting the pancreas itself. This approach seems to work well and the pancreas seems to function best when all its metabolic partners are happy.
For any patient whose pancreas has been out of balance, perhaps reflecting in blood sugar problems from either emotional or perhaps chemical upsets; I prescribe a generalised mix to help it come back into normal function.
The herbs I include in my pancreatic reconditioning mix are: Chamomile, Oats, St Mary's Thistle, Bladderack, Rosehips, Fennel, Elecampane, Ginseng, Pine Bark, and Violet Leaves. To this mix I add the Bach Flower Remedies Walnut, Scleranthus, Olive and Rescue Remedy.
20 drops three times daily of this mix (10 drops for children and 3 drops for babies) given with Chamomile Tea, will quickly bring back into balance a pancreas which is beginning to experience problems.
