Healing with Herbs

Ask Granny Earth
Im not sure about taking herbs for diseases or serious conditions Can you give me a reason a person should switch to herbs instead of prescription or over the counter drugs? And whats the big deal about tinctures and tonics? First let me say- I am not against modern medicine; it has saved many lives I am against the abuse of drugs, whether legal or illegal, and of treating symptoms of conditions, rather than treating the underlying cause It has been the experience of many people, that drugs cause side-effects, while herbs heal the condition that is causing the problem in the first place It never ceases to amaze me how folks take prescription, or over the counter drugs without learning or caring about the side-effects To address your first question: Why Herbs? The main benefits of taking herbs include: 1 Herbs cleanse and purify the body of harmful toxins without causing side effects

Homeopathic Remedies
The meaning of Homeopathy can be traced to its ancient Greek roots meaning suffering and similar The philosophy behind Homeopathic remedies is slightly esoteric Homeopathy is the practice curing diseases with the same substances that had caused them A little like anecdotes made from snake venom to treat snake bites The best example of explaining the concept of homeopathy is one of injecting a patient with miniscule doses of allergens thereby boosting his immune system to fight against a later exposure to that particular allergen Homeopathic remedies are created by mixing minuscule quantities of substances with insoluble materials like oyster shells or quartz Homeopaths believe that this procedure of preparing the

Alternative Medicine: The Issues
hysicians practicing conventional Western medicine at times see alternative medicine as unproven, worthless, perhaps even dangerous, steeped only in anecdotal case histories Some view the alternative therapist as being naïve at best, a charlatan at worst A provider of alternative medicine may see conventional physicians as so focused on a disease or body part that they have no humanity, no compassion, and lack concern for the whole person The conventional physician has been called a money-loving individual, in bed with pharmaceutical companies, who is out to take the life savings of the ill and infirm A truly accurate picture of both sides is a lot more complicated But you need to understand the benefits and the dangers of alternative medicine before you make any serious mistakes
