There are virtually hundreds of alternative therapies in health medicine. Herbal medications are an alternative to conventional medicine. Chiropractic care is an alternative to disc and spinal surgery. Massage therapy and aromatherapy are both used for giving a calming healing affect to individuals naturally. Let’s take a look at just a few of these alternative therapy practices being used today.
Alternative Therapies In Health Medicine: Osteoporosis
Bone degeneration is common among older women. Postmenopausal women especially need extra vitamins and minerals because of the minerals taken from them from the childbearing years.
These minerals are calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous, all three of which help build strong bones. There is strong evidence that eating foods with the mineral boron helps retain these three essential minerals in the body better.
Foods high in boron are vegetables, fruits, nuts broccoli, prunes, dates, raisins, almonds, peanuts, and soy meal. So if you suspect that you have a bone deficiency, it is highly recommended to eat plenty of these foods every day.
Alternative Therapies In Health Medicine: Disease and Vitamin-E
It’s a well-known fact that we absolutely need vitamins and minerals daily to retain our health and to help reverse the signs of aging. An essential vitamin for slowing down the aging process is Vitamin-E.
This little wonder vitamin is excellent for the prevention of many diseases, such as heart, cancer, cataracts, Parkinson’s, skin ulcers, and improving overall immunity and resistance to illness.
The best way to get your daily doses of Vitamin-E is from the whole foods we eat. Foods VERY high in Vitamin-E are sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, alfalfa sprouts, wheat berry sprouts, and sunflower sprouts.
Other foods that have Vitamin-E are walnuts, whole wheat bread and brown rice. Eat a couple servings of these foods daily and you’ll be doing your body a big favor.
Alternative Therapies In Health Medicine: Better Eyesight
An alternative therapy for better vision is Eye Therapy Exercises. Eye therapy can resolve eye shifting, lazy eye, focus adjusting, crossed eyes, and nearsightedness.
Each eye problem mentioned above has its own alternative eye therapy exercise for resolving that issue. The therapy works to reprogram the eye through the use of certain exercises.
Alternative Therapies In Health Medicine: Breast Cancer
A miracle herb from the Peruvian rain forests known as Cats Claw has been beneficial in the treatment of breast cancer.
Studies have suggested that this remarkable little herb has also been advantageous in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, allergies, diabetes, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, herpes organic depression, menstrual issues, and intestinal disorders.
Here are several other things you can do to help prevent breast cancer. Stop using underarm deodorants that are made with aluminum. Stop wearing tight bras. Yes, you got that right.
Bras worn for long periods of time (14 hours) have been shown to be a contributing factor for causing breast cancer. Women whose diets are high in red meat and dairy products are also more at risk to getting breast cancer. See resource at end of article.
