The Cause of Atopy is a Mother's Gaze!
Case Story: A Mother's Peace of Mind Changed Her Child
A mother and her elementary school-aged son came to the clinic for atopic dermatitis treatment.
The child had severe allergies to eggs, dairy products, and other items, so they had been extremely careful about his diet for a long time.
However, even after avoiding eggs and dairy, his atopy did not improve, leading them to wonder, "Could there be another cause?"
The mother brought many food items and personal belongings from home, wanting me to use O-Ring testing to identify what was bad for his body.
As we checked with the O-Ring test, it became clear that rather than the "food" itself, the "tension" of the mother watching her child with concern was affecting the child's body as stress.
When I prompted the child to "look at your mother," an allergic reaction appeared in his body.
On the other hand, when he held allergenic substances like eggs or milk in his palm, that reaction did not occur.
I have seen many families dealing with atopy, and this parent and child were one such example. They were observing the child too closely.
Perhaps the mother herself disliked being watched or scolded by her own parents when she was young.
Therefore, I provided treatment for both the child and the mother together.
We incorporated imagery therapy, tapping on acupressure points, and whispering words she had wanted to hear when she was a child.
In parallel with the treatment, I gave the mother "homework" to "watch over him with peace of mind" and "enjoy meals with a smile."
Thanks to the homework, the child's reactions began to change little by little.
A few months later, I received this happy report from the mother via LINE.
My son was able to eat Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with egg in it. No symptoms appeared!
I cried my eyes out. I'm so happy I had to report it. I never thought this day would come!
After this, I want to try milk and nuts with a fun attitude too.
When the mother's tension eased and an atmosphere of enjoying "eating" returned to the home, the child's body was finally able to accept food with peace of mind.
Insights as a Practitioner
What was important in this case was that rather than trying to do something about the symptoms themselves, the change in the mother's feelings led to the child's recovery.
The tension and fear of "I must make him eat" or "I must be careful" are unconsciously transmitted to the child.
Conversely, I learned once again that when a mother relaxes her feelings, thinking "It might be okay" or "Let's enjoy this together," the child also reacts naturally and becomes able to eat.
Food and personal belongings are not the only causes of illness.
This was a case that provided the realization that true healing is brought about by adjusting the connection between hearts, rather than being too fixated on symptoms or test results.
