To cut a long story short, late last year I was diagnosed with an osteoid osteoma, which is a benign bone tumor, and it was on the side of my left thumb. I am only 23, and it is very rare for someone my age to be diagnosed with this type of tumor. I am generally very healthy and well, I am a reiki practitioner and very interested in holistic and natural healing and wellness.

Western medicine has helped me to diagnose and *fix* the problem physically, but I understand that things that manifest as illness in teh physical must be caused by something higher up the vibrational ladder i.e. an emotional, mental, spiritual cause. and that this higher level must also be healed for the symptoms to fully heal. Anyway, through my own research I found out that the area of my thumb that the tumor was in is in the "brain zone" for reflexology... it is also on the lung meridian.

Can anyone suggest things that may assist me in the healing process/finding out the root cause of this symptom? Because it was an awful thing to go through and I am committed to healing myself.

For more details on my thumb, the following blog entries should help:

Any help is much appreciated.
