If you have back problems, it could be due to dehydration and salt deficiency. You need a high quality salt: NOT the common supermarket variety. Read about "the Water Cure". See: http://www.watercure2.org/back_problems.htm
Lower back pain is more common than we might think—seven million Americans suffer from chronic back pain and 80% of Americans will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lifetime.
The lower back or lumbar region is identified as L1 – L5. The mental/emotional causes for lower back pain have been thoroughly documented through the ages, beginning with ancient Chinese medicine. Louise Hay in her book, “You Can Heal Your Body,” identifies the mental cause and the metaphysical ways to heal the root cause.
Root cause for lower back pain:
L-1: A crying for love and a need to be lonely. Insecurity.
L-2: Stuck in childhood pain. See no way out.
L-3: Sexual abuse. Guilt. Self-hatred.
L-4: Rejection of sexuality. Financial insecurity. Fear of career. Feeling powerless.
L-5: Insecurity. Difficulty in communicating. Anger. Inability to accept pleasure.
Sacrum: Loss of power. Old stubborn anger. Coccyx: Out of balance with yourself. Holding on. Blame of self. Sitting on old pain.
If you or anyone you know has chronic lower back pain—honestly and earnestly look at the mental and emotional causes and look for ways to release and reestablish a new perception. The fastest and most effective way to heal the root cause of physical dis-ease or skeletal pain is engaging in mind, body, spirit healing.
