Remedies and Treatments: Keep the Natural Balance
May 31, 2010
(NaturalNews) The concept of the balance of nature is very old and once
ruled ecological research as well as governed the management of natural
resources. When we talk about the natural balance of nature's remedies
and treatments, we mean the interaction between the two. For every
condition, there is a natural remedy. The two go hand in hand.
These
nature's remedies have been passed down throughout the generations.
Natural herbs, fruits and essential oils used in our diet, in
supplements and as specific treatments are rapidly gaining the
attention of consumers as they search for nature's remedies without the
risk of side effects. These natural remedies are simple, inexpensive
and chemical-free plus there is added pleasure and satisfaction in
being able to treat and even cure yourself!
People worldwide are
rejecting the notion that expensive, synthetic, chemical and
prescription medications are the only answer to our medical issues and
treatment for our ailments. They are starting to grasp and utilize the
notion that natural remedies and home treatments will sort out many
common problems. It has even reached the point where the traditional
medical community is beginning to look at how the conventional medical
field could be enhanced by alternative practices.
Interest in
natural remedies and treatments has increased to such an extent in the
past decade that some 38% of American adults use some form of
complementary or alternative medicine and worldwide the numbers are
even higher. It is thought that the "baby boom" generation is partly
responsible for this shift as they search for a more holistic approach
to health care when their ailments become more chronic. Some of the
conditions for which they seek natural remedies are arthritis,
headaches, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, anxiety and depression. The
downside of this is that they are often reluctant to tell their doctor
so there may be a drug-herb interaction in some cases.
Natural
or nature's remedies and treatment often involve the natural methods or
ways to treat as were done in the past. This type of natural treatment
avoids the conventional medicine that is used in various treatments
done today. However, many natural remedy companies have spent a lot of
time and resources in research, resulting in improved original methods
but without compromising the natural ingredients.
Ellen G White
was an influential author and worker in the field of health and natural
healing in the 19th century. She wrote: "Drugs never cure disease; they
only change its form and location. When drugs are introduced into the
system, for a time they seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may
take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in
some other form. The disease which the drug was given to cure may
disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases,
ulcers, painful diseased joints, and sometimes in a more dangerous and
deadly form. Nature keeps struggling, and the patient suffers with
different ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down in her
efforts, and death follows." - How to Live, 60.
Her words are just as true in the 21st century.
We
can only hope that the growth in the use of nature's remedies and
treatments increases to such an extent that this alternative form of
medicine will become a part of mainstream medicine to the benefit of
all. Along with an improvement in the diet of Americans, this would
provide a win/win balance to our healthcare system.
