The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the portion of the nervous system that controls the body’s visceral functions, including action of the heart, movement of the gastrointestinal tract and secretion by different glands, among many other vital activities. It is well known that mental and emotional states directly affect the ANS. Many of IHM’s research studies have examined the influence of emotions on the ANS utilizing the analysis of heart rate variability, or heart rhythms, which serves as a dynamic window into autonomic function and balance. While the rhythmic beating of the heart at rest was once believed to be monotonously regular, we now know that the rhythm of a healthy heart under resting conditions is actually surprisingly irregular. These moment-to-moment variations in heart rate are easily overlooked when average heart rate is calculated. Heart rate variability (HRV), derived from the electrocardiogram (ECG), is a measurement of these naturally occurring, beat-to-beat changes in heart rate.

Systems-oriented models propose that HRV is an important indicator of both physiological resiliency and behavioral flexibility, reflecting the individual’s capacity to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands. It has become apparent that while a large degree of instability is detrimental to efficient physiological functioning, too little variation can also be pathological. An optimal level of variability within an organism’s key regulatory systems is critical to the inherent flexibility and adaptability that epitomize healthy function. This principle is aptly illustrated by a simple analogy: just as the shifting stance of a tennis player about to receive a serve may facilitate swift adaptation, in healthy individuals, the heart remains similarly responsive and resilient, primed and ready to react when needed.

The normal variability in heart rate is due to the synergistic action of the two branches of the ANS, which act in balance through neural, mechanical, humeral and other physiological mechanisms to maintain cardiovascular parameters in their optimal ranges and to permit appropriate reactions to changing external or internal conditions. In a healthy individual, thus, the heart rate estimated at any given time represents the net effect of the parasympathetic (vagus) nerves, which slow heart rate, and the sympathetic nerves, which accelerate it. These changes are influenced by emotions, thoughts and physical exercise. Our changing heart rhythms affect not only the heart but also the brain’s ability to process information, including decision-making, problem-solving and creativity. They also directly affect how we feel. Thus, the study of heart rate variability is a powerful, objective and noninvasive tool to explore the dynamic interactions between physiological, mental, emotional and behavioral processes.

Spinal Cleanse was developed through a collaborative effort between a Master Essential Oil Alchemist, an essential oil expert, and a Chiropractor in an effort to address spinal cord compression due to inflammatory processes.

As we know, there are many viruses, bacteria, and parasites that can live within the spinal column. As a result of the body’s immune system response to these and other infectious dis-eases, a mild inflammatory response is induced when encountering these challenges. Ultimately, this results in spinal cord compression. Although the compression may be small, it does not take much to alter the body’s neurological systems and symptoms such as parasthesias, and other neuropathies are manifested by the patient.

Another effect of spinal cord inflammation is its direct correlation to the resistance of the body to High Velocity—Low Amplitude (HVLA) Chiropractic adjustments. Although the resistance caused by the inflammatory response can be minimal, it cannot be disregarded when giving a HVLA. This factor becomes evident when comparing HVLA adjustments on non-inflamed spinal cord patients to HVLA’s on inflamed patients.

These challenges to the overall health of the spinal cord have not been met by conventional medicine. Nowhere is this fact more evident than in the failure of mass spectrum anti-microbials. These anti-microbials are either harmful to the “friendly” flora of the body, or they are ineffective against an increasing number of resistant infectious agents.

Therefore, the purpose of Spinal Cleanse is to help the patient reduce their spinal cord inflammation and resultant dis-ease processes within the body.

Chiropractors and other health care providers will love the benefits of Spinal Cleanse. Due to the antispasmodic effect of the oils, and of course, the anti-inflammatory effect on the spinal column, adjustments to the spine become easier for the chiropractor and with less pain to the patient.

In essence, Spinal Cleanse helps you become a better practitioner and your patient will appreciate the ease at which he or she is adjusted.

Patients properly treated with Spinal Cleanse have been found to experience the following: total relaxation, reduction in: stress levels, blood pressure, and most importantly, they will have a reduction in pain.
