Even before the advent of modern medical treatment methods, our ancient ancestors were already utilizing the curative properties of plants and herbs to address physical health problems. Herbal medicines are commonly used as poultices for open wounds to avoid possible infection from being in contact with the environment. It can also be used to combat common household ailments, such as fever, cough, colds, flu, and so on. Some plants can also remove parasites and worms commonly found in children and also in some adults.

Holistic Holiday Centres - Why Would I Go To One?
Well, let's start with warm sunshine, sand and sea - that alone is enough for many! But if you like learning while away from home, then a holistic holiday centre will provide you with an opportunity to try out a course from the very broad mind-body-spirit spectrum. The really interesting thing about many of these holistic holiday centres though, is not the exploration of whatever topic motivated you to book. Instead it's the opportunity to participate, for a short time, in an intentional community.

An ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, occurring about 80 - 85 % of the time, and is due to a blood vessel in the brain getting blocked because of cholesterol deposits called atherosclerosis, or because of blood clots called emboli. A hemorrhagic stroke, resulting from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, while not so commonly seen, is definitely more serious.

The Benefits of Bio-Magnetic Therapy
Although bio-magnetic therapy is not officially approved as a healing method or practice, too many users of this therapy method gain significant joint pain relieving benefits for it to be dismissed. The fact that iron, a magnetic metal contained in haemoglobin, making up around 4% of human blood content is a clear indication that should areas of the body be exposed to magnets there will be an effect on that area. In simple terms magnets placed around a damaged joint will attract more blood to that ...

The Medicinal Uses of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
Honestly, natural apple cider vinegar is one of nature's own, true miracle health elixirs. The long history of its use demonstrates, rather clearly, that using vinegar was once highly revered as a practical medical application long before Johnny Appleseed graced North America by planting apple trees. The healing powers of vinegar has been traced back as far as 3000 BC, Hippocrates, Babylonia, and to 15th century England as a means to ward off dangerous and infectious diseases, to keep one's general health fit and strong, and used as a simple antiseptic/disinfectant.

Isn't it Past Time For WHOLISTIC Medicine?
This is a another look at a topic I first wrote about 3 years ago - but it's even more relevant in today's health care climate. Between government scrutiny of solid holistic health care methods and the inevitable black hat marketing of make-a-quick-buck schemers world wide, I sometimes wonder how the average consumer is supposed to have a clue on how to approach the all-important topic of their own health. We need 'WHOListic' medicine, we need guidelines and safety standards, we need solid information but we also need to retain the freedom to research, explore and choose.

Natural Home Cures For Glaucoma
The modem medical treatment for glaucoma is through surgery
which relieves the internal pressure in the eye due to excess
fluid. This, however, does not remove the cause of the presence
of the excess fluid. Consequently, even after the operation,
there is no guarantee whatsoever that the trouble will not
recur, or that it will not affect the other eye. The natural
treatment for glaucoma is the same as that for any other
condition associated with high toxicity and is directed towards
preserving whatever sight remains. If treated in the early
stages, the results are encouraging. Though cases of advanced
glaucoma may be uncurable, certain nutritional and other
biological approaches can prove effective in controlling the
condition and preserving the remaining sight.
Certain foodstuffs should be scrupulously avoided by patients
suffering from glaucoma. Coffee in particular should be
completely avoided because of its high caffeine content.
Caffeine causes stimulation -of vasoconstrictors, elevating
blood pressure and increasing blood to the eye. Beer and
tobacco, which can cause constriction of blood vessels, should
also be avoided. Tea should be taken only in moderation. The
patient should not take excessive fluids, whether it is juice,
milk or water at any time. He may drink small amounts several
times with at least one-hour intervals.
The diet of the patient suffering from glaucoma should consist
of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruit, with emphasis
on raw Vitamin C-rich foods, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Certain nutrients have been found helpful in the treatment of
glaucoma. It has been found that the glaucoma patients are
usually deficient in Vitamin A, B, C, protein, calcium and other
minerals. Nutrients such as calcium and B complex help relieve
the intraocular condition. Many practioners believe that
intraocular pressure in glaucoma can be lowered by the Vitamin C
therapy. Dr. Michele Virno and his colleagues reported recently
at a meeting of the Roman Ophthalmological Society in Rome,
Italy, that the average person weighing 150 pounds who is given
7000 mg. of ascorbic acid five times daily, acquired acceptable
intraocular pressure within 45 days. Symptoms such as mild
stomach discomfort and diarrhoea from large doses of Vitamin C
were temporary and soon disappeared. It has also been suggested
that some calcium should always be taken with each dose of
ascorbic acid to minimise side effects of the large dose.
The patient should avoid emotional stress and cultivate a
tranquil, restful lifestyle. He should also avoid prolonged
straining of the eye such as occurs during excessive T.V. or
movie watching and excessive reading. The use of sunglasses
should be avoided.

Essential Oil Therapy - The Enormous Components of the Rosemary Essential Oil
If there is anything to be a discussion about medicinal plants and essential oils, we must become conscious of the fact that unconventional medicine is one thing that we must first think about. What should make us have faith in the curative strength of these herbs is not that they are available, but that we see them in their pure states and we also consume them in their pure states. Natural herbs are very rich in oils and other medicinal components and they have been relied upon by man for ages. Today, man still almost places complete reliance on the curative properties of these natural herbs. The truth is that if you can readily and handily produce your own medication out of natural plants, there is a general tendency that you will believe in the curative powers of these herbs more than conventional medicines. An example of such a pure medication is the rosemary essential oil. This is highly considered because of its pure nature and the fact that it is among the best natural medications for pain killing.

Their usage in contrast to the traditional medical therapies and medication is preferable to many.

Natural Health & Healing - One Disease, Five Root Causes
Now you know, there's only one disease, Cellular Malfunction. What causes cells to malfunction and rendered unable to do their jobs? The two major culprits are toxic cellular accumulation and nutritional deficiencies. Simply taking poisonous pharmaceutical drugs or undergoing risky surgeries can't heal these conditions. Think about it. If they could, millions of people wouldn't be suffering and dying in America today. Instead, they would be enjoying a longer, healthier, and more vibrant drug-free life. The only way our cells can be repaired and disease conquered is by following the principles of a healthy lifestyle and proper dietary habits. Remember our health or lack thereof really boils down to the choices we make, or don't make. No one can make these choices for us. Motivational speaker Anthony Robbins once said, "Disease starts on our plate". In other words, what we put in our body today determines the state of our health tomorrow. Tell me, who controls what we consume and how we treat our body? So, who must take responsibility for our health and stop relying on doctors to perform miracles for us? The truth is, we're slowly killing ourselves - unnecessarily and prematurely.
