Looking For Natural Cures and
Remedies That Your Doctor Won't Tell
You About? Look No Further Than
Here
In today's world, we find ourselves besieged with ailments,
diseases and conditions that were unknown fifty years ago. Your
grandmother probably never heard of restless leg syndrome or
attention deficit disorder. It's enough to make you wonder if
your doctor's prescription for that twitch in your legs is the
best course of action.
Is the modern diagnosis of attention deficit disorder
legitimate, or do you simply have a rambunctious kid? Is it
necessary to take that prescription medication to sort out the
problem? Do you wonder why in times past, people dealt with
these problems with natural cures?
Perhaps the question is, what are natural cures? Do they
work? The answer lies in history and folklore. Prior to the
discovery of penicillin, all we had to rely on were natural
cures. What is amazing is that, in every culture and
environment, plant medicines were employed with success as
treatments for the everyday ailments that plagued mankind. In
third-world countries today, plant medicines are the only
option. Preparations of plants are still successful cures,
although the big pharmaceutical manufacturers would like you to
think otherwise.
For example, Peruvian bark, also known as Cinchona, provides
quinine, a natural cure for malaria. Modern medicine has not
bested quinine as a natural cure.
If you know a child diagnosed with attention deficit
disorder, it's unlikely that natural cures are employed. ADD is
regarded as an undesirable condition of agitation, with the
child unable to focus on the subject at hand. In fact, many, if
not most, children demonstrate this inability at various points
of normal development. A doctor may prescribe injections of
Ritalin to suppress these “unacceptable” symptoms.
A child diagnosed with ADD may well be treated with a number
of natural remedies to alleviate bursts of nervous energy. The
inability to focus attention may well lie in the channels of
normal development and resolve naturally over time. Chamomile,
passion flower, lemon balm and skullcap teas are powerful
natural cures for agitation. Children generally outgrow a lack
of attention span.
Natural cures, as a rule, tend to bring balance and harmony,
addressing the cause rather than the symptoms. Treating the
cause, rather than the symptoms, is superior, effecting a
permanent change that benefits the patient and releases them
from a lifelong commitment to medications.
Natural cures have history behind them. Before you run to
the doctor with a complaint, do a little research on your
symptoms. Even well-entrenched ailments like arthritis have
many natural cures that work.
The bottom line is that many a modern ailment, fitted with a
spiffy name, can be treated naturally, without a lifelong
commitment to medications. Natural cures are often your best
option, getting to the root cause of your distress and
resolving the symptoms.
Natural remedies are much more gentle, and as a result they don't have a lot of the side effects that antibiotics have. Antibiotics can kill off a lot of bacteria that your body needs, causing serious digestive problems that can last for years and years. If my doctor had opted to try a natural remedy for sinus infections, I might not have had the serious and debilitating health problems that I have had since then. I know that he was just doing what he thought was right, but to me the continued ignorance of the medical field about alternative therapies seems willful at times.
