The 3 "small" things that radically changed the way I viewed and finally experienced healing are rest, water and light.
What true rest is, what true hydration really entails and how essential light is for life are 3 massive paradigm shifts that shook the foundations of my life and my scientific/academic career.
I struggled with chronic joint pain since my teens. I tried the traditional route of meds, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, physical therapy, and the works. Then moved onto alternative medicine offerings (supplements, herbs, and so forth).
Each thing I tried helped, for a bit. It got me to the next level. But I was still in pain. 10 years ago, and as a mom of 2 kiddos with budding health issues, I went inward and started digging deep.
My rabbit trails took me to the vast and wonderful world of quantum biology. As I learn and implement simple daily rest, hydration and light habits, I continue to be in awe of my amazing body and how essential and needle-moving these practices have been.
I am off all pain meds and have been for 4 years now. I feel better now, at 50, than I did in my 20s and 30s. Every time I have an episode of intense pain (what I now know to be a beautiful healing crisis) I hunker down and remind myself of the importance of "less is more", I support my hydrated fascia and I make it a point to get even more natural sunlight into my day.
