Bailia

I allow myself to make this tincture because nature offers me a high-quality raw material, and also because of the demand from the many people around me who suffer from this condition.

Cystitis is caused by microbes, usually bacteria. These microorganisms enter the urethra and then the bladder, and can cause an infection. The infection commonly develops in the bladder and can also reach the kidneys, causing an inflammatory response in the bladder lining.

Most of the time the body is able to get rid of these bacteria. However, bacteria can cling to the wall of the urethra or bladder, or multiply so quickly that some of them remain in the bladder.

I have chosen four plants to improve the symptoms while strengthening our body’s own healing capacity.

Heather and strawberry-tree leaves: their action is mainly due to their arbutin content which, through hydrolysis by the intestinal bacterial flora, is transformed into hydroquinone, which has an antimicrobial action on the urinary tract.

They also have a slightly diuretic and anti-inflammatory action on the bladder walls thanks to the flavonoids they contain.

Bilberry fruit: it belongs to the same family as heather. I generally gather them in the same place, since they almost always grow together. Being of the same family, they share many of their components.

Bilberry is considered one of the foods with the highest antioxidant content.

It contains flavonoids that reduce inflammation in the vein walls and proanthocyanidins, which prevent microorganisms (especially the bacterium Escherichia coli) from adhering to the uroepithelial cells and multiplying.

Echinacea: this plant has been shown to increase the production of ACTH, the hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands, responsible for anti-inflammatory action, to produce more corticoids.

It has great cleansing power. It is a natural antibiotic. It cleanses the blood and the lymph and catalyses the action of white blood cells. It has an immunostimulant action, since it increases phagocytosis and the ability of white blood cells to destroy viruses and foreign bodies, and increases the number of macrophages and the production of interferon and interleukin.

It is also useful in fungal infections such as Candida albicans and in the treatment of genitourinary tract infections.

This formulation is reinforced with pure lemon and thyme essential oils, suitable for consumption, which act as powerful antiseptics, diuretics, cleansers and detoxifiers, helping to eliminate the body’s various waste products through the urine and naturally speeding up the diuretic process, in order to ease urination and prevent bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract.

Cystitis also has its reading in biodecoding. The urinary system in general alerts us to territorial conflicts (BAILÍA is a synonym for territory, a term used in the 13th century) and specifically to the function of marking out territory.

Our notion of territory is broader than in animals: it can be something physical, such as our home, our office, our belongings or our country, or something symbolic, such as our partner, our work, our family, our projects…

Territory is related to the limits of our living space, to knowing how to mark them out and also to how we organise them.

We can pay attention to this, without becoming obsessed, and review how this concept stands in our life, asking ourselves: how do I feel about what I consider “my territory”?

Illnesses help us become aware of things that lie in our unconscious. I find it interesting to open up areas of attention, and symptoms or conditions help me to do so.

Following the biodynamic calendar, I work on this tincture with the moon in Cancer, whose ruler is the Moon. This force governs our body’s immune system (the archetype of the protective mother). The force of Mars is involved in the inflammatory process, so ruby water will provide the right pattern for balance to be restored.
