Several Western researchers and medical practitioners regard natural healing remedies with suspicion and distrust. They are of the view that they are not as good as the conventional drugs and could do more harm than good to the immune system. While this may be true to some extend as some natural healing remedies are poisonous, there is still one fact that we all have to consider.
Even the very drugs they advocate for do come from Mother Nature. They derive them from herbs. So it makes no sense to disapprove the very source as ineffective. If anything, some of their researches have proven the fact that herbs do have great health sustaining and healing properties when and if used according to safe guidelines.
Of course utmost care needs to be taken when preparing and gathering consumable herbs and natural healing remedies. But this is no sensible reason to blanket all the herbs Mother Nature has provided mankind with as dangerous. Phytonutrients, polyphenols and antioxidants are but some of the minerals that these natural healing remedies have. They are important for human health and are far much better than manufactured drugs. The reason is simply due to the fact they do not have chemicals and additives that can cause long term and severe side effects if over used. All one needs is to be careful when using natural healing remedies. That is not a big problem at all as with the guidance of a qualified naturopath or herbalist, one can always be sure that he or she is on the right track.
When putting conventional medicine and natural healing remedies on a beam balance, we all seem to be oblivious of how our ancestors lived. Emerging evidence has proven that previous generations lived healthy lifestyles and effectively used natural healing remedies for all types of ailments. The evidence proves the exact opposite with regard to the current generation. The eating habits practiced today have worsened things. Dietary habits have changed and are heading for the worst. Problem is, life threatening condition are now being treated with drugs that indeed help but one has to put up with some side effects in the long run. Cancer, which is the number one killer disease worldwide today, is one such condition where some of the best drugs manufactured to put the condition under control have intense side effects. We are therefore left with no option but to seek healthy natural healing remedies that are effective and have no side effects at all.
Keep in mind that while natural healing remedies are good and healthy, good health is in your hands and starts with you. You have to keep off habits that put your health at risk and prevent them. Eat well, exercise daily and use the free gifts Mother Nature has given us all. Drink more water daily to keep yourself hydrated. It is only with a good immune system that you can enjoy life. Remember that health is wealth so you just have to be healthy to be happy and wealthy.
