When to consult a health professional

« Spirituality can sustain; it must not delay necessary help. »
Understanding

What are we talking about?

Orabel does not make a diagnosis. Some situations require a medical or psychological assessment, even when interpreted in a spiritual language.

Alert signs

Which deserves to stop and check

  • Severe pain, sudden symptom or rapid worsening.
  • Suicidal ideas, endangering or significantly losing contact with reality.
  • Fasting, sleep deprivation or intense breathing poorly tolerated.
  • Discontinuation of prescribed treatment without medical advice.
  • A so-called spiritual experience with major distress or inability to function.
Take action

The right reflexes

  1. 1

    Call the emergency in case of immediate danger.

  2. 2

    Describe facts and symptoms without fear of speaking of the spiritual context.

  3. 3

    Bring a list of treatments, plants and supplements used.

  4. 4

    Request a second opinion if necessary.

  5. 5

    Choose a spiritual accompaniment that collaborates with care.
