An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that binds 2 parts of tissue together, which should be separate. Adhesion's may appear as thin sheets of tissue similar to plastic wrap, or as thick fibrous bands.
Adhesive tissue develops in the abdomen, almost as a protective mechanism, in any case where the energy or integrity of the abdominal cavity is disrupted or shocked. This could be through surgery, infection, trauma, or radiation.
Abdominal adhesion's are a common complication of surgery, occurring in up to 90% of people who undergo abdominal or pelvic surgery. Adhesion's also occur in 10% of people who have never had surgery.
Holistically, abdominal adhesion's are seen as an overly protective response to the intrusion (surgical or energetic) into this area, which we instinctively protect being soft and exposed.
Many routine surgical procedures of the past created more problems than they solved (appendectomy and ovarian cyst operations particularly) and these have been largely discontinued unless unavoidable. Any person exhibiting keloid scarring should avoid abdominal surgery at almost any cost.
The mixture I provide to assist in softening adhesion's that are involved in abdominal pain, fertility or bowel problems consists of a concentrated extract of the herbs; Chamomile, Comfrey, Equisetum and Liquorice along with the Bach Flower Remedies Walnut, Mimulus and Red Chestnut.
This mix is taken three times daily at a dose rate of 20 drops and is continued for 6 to 12 months at least. In a severe case I would recommend also a program of energetic healing (like Reiki) especially in the regions of the second and third chakras.
