The root of this dis-ease varies widely from person to person but, apart from certain hereditary conditions, it essentially boils down to some kind of imbalance in the physiological or biochemical pathways that have contributed to you becoming ill. How we look after our bodies, soul and spirit ultimately determine how healthy we are. What we eat and drink, how, when and how much we sleep, how much we stress, how we relax and have fun and how we recharge our spiritual batteries all determine how healthy we are.
