How To Fight Sickness With Natural Medicine, According To An Energy Healer

Carolyn Harrington is the founder of Maty’s, which is affectionately named after her daughter. She’s also a medical intuitive, energy healer, and certified holistic health practitioner. In other words: She’s the woman you want designing your all natural remedies. We sat down with her to talk about Maty’s, natural medicine, and why she decided to share her healing remedies with all of us:

21 years ago, my daughter was born with severe congenital heart defects and had to have multiple heart surgeries. During her childhood, she also had a lot of health problems, and I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis three days after she was born. After her last surgery, she started losing her hair and had psoriasis. I took her to so many doctors but all the treatments were so invasive. So like any mother would, jumped into action. I got into natural ways of healing and it became my passion.

I spent years creating these natural remedies in my home and was known all around the neighborhood for them, but I had four kids in the house at the time and couldn’t dedicate the time to sharing them with the public. In March of 2009 I decided to bring my immune-boosting cough remedy to the Natural Products Expo West to see if there was enough interest for it. We walked away with a commitment from 3,000 retails stores. Since a study2 had recently shown that honey works better for a cough than dextromethorphan (DM—the active ingredient in cough medicines), I had a clinical study to give my remedy the credibility it needed.

At the first sign of feeling bad we open up Maty’s cough syrup. There are 10 immune-boosting ingredients in it including zinc, which has been clinically studied to shorten the duration of a cold. We also use our baby chest rub—which contains lavender and chamomile—to help you relax and sleep better at night. In addition to that, we stop eating any sugar and go to bed VERY early.

Here’s the trick: I use a form of applied kinesiology called muscle testing before I do any research on ingredients for Maty’s products. Essentially, I take someone with the symptoms I’m trying to help and through the muscle testing process, come up with a list of ingredients that would benefit them (for example, cinnamon, lemon balm, apple cider vinegar). Afterwords, I do the research to find out why that ingredient tested positive for a certain symptom. In other words, I test everything from an energy standpoint first and then back it up with science and research.

That’s a vision we can definitely get behind. Here’s to hoping we see farm stand pharmacies in the future, and more Maty’s products on the shelves in the meantime—since now we know they are formulated with so much love, energy, and care.
