Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Distance

Alternative medicine holistic health distance is a way of life for many people. And especially for those people who live a good distance from the cities and are self reliant and independent from health care facilities.

Their culture and way of life have taught them natural ways of healing rather than using conventional methods. Those who don't have ready access to conventional medicine and health care may have an advantage to those who do.

They have been forced to look for more natural ways to take care of specific illnesses that may develop. Furthermore, they haven't been jaded by what conventional health care has to offer. Not to say conventional health care doesn't have it's place. It definitely does. However, probably up to 70% of illnesses, if not more, can be taken care of through safer, alternative methods.

Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Distance: Alternative Medicine

Alternative medicine is any kind of natural healing treatments that do not come from pharmaceutical drugs or conventional methods. Actually the world has it backwards.

Alternative medicine such as herbology is what has been around for 5,000 years or more. Conventional medicine known as pharmaceuticals has only been around several hundred years.

In truth, the real alternative to conventional treatment is if an organ in your body is giving you a problem, cut it out, and that is what they do. If you have symptoms of pain, treat it with a pharmaceutical drug.

These methods are fairly new, and should be labeled as alternative, but because society has been conditioned into believing that herbs and acupuncture are new medicine, they are referred to as alternative.

Some forms of very old medicine that is now called alternative medicine are: aromatherapy, herbology, massages, chiropractic care, homeopathy and naturopathy.

These methods of health care will heal and treat the body better than what is now coined as conventional medicine. Doctors in these fields are trained and licensed to treat the disease (root cause) rather than suppress it with drugs.

Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Distance: Naturaceuticals

Many indigenous peoples from other parts of the world are informed about the practice of using “mother natures garden” for healing and treating health conditions. Many of these people live a simple life, and eat what they grow, gather, hunt, and fish.

Take the Hunza’s for example. They are a people who live in the Alps of India. They eat what they grow and live a simple life. They live into ripe old ages, and are never sick.

When simple native folks get sick, they don’t drive up to the pharmaceutical window and pick up their drug prescriptions.

Instead they gather their own herbs and make tinctures, teas, balms, and supplements and make their own prescriptions. This is called naturaceuticals or herbology, or homeopathy.

Is it kind of ironic how city folk with books and the Internet at their disposal are more ignorant about health than the simple native folks of other lands?

Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Distance: Nutrition

Eating simply is definitely a way to staying healthy or get healthy. Eating simply means cooking your own healthy foods, preferably organic foods that have not been tarnished by man’s toxic chemicals.

It also means eating many foods uncooked, such as juicing, sprouting, and eating as many raw fruits and vegetables as you like. Anywhere in the world where refined flour and sugar have not been introduced or they cannot afford it, the people will have better health.

What does all this mean to you? It means you can become informed about ways to stay healthy too. It means you can be healthy and stay healthy through healthy food choices. And that’s good news!

Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Distance: Herbal Treatments

There are thousands of herbal treatments for thousands of health conditions. Herbs attack the heart of the disease, and work for the whole body. While pharmaceuticals suppress symptoms and work against the body by causing other health problems or drug reactions.

Herbs whole foods, while pharmaceuticals are a toxic agent because they have other synthetic chemicals processed into making the pill or tablet. Drugs make the patient think they are healed or their condition is managed. But herbs actually kill disease. Alternative medicine healing treatments is the safest, easiest, and best way to provide for your health care needs.
