Why Natural Remedies are Gaining Popularity

More and more thinking people are concerned with their health and becoming more aware of the health benefits that natural remedies can offer them. They use them as preventives to stay healthy and to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Gone are the days when natural remedies were the only choice available. This was abandoned by the medical profession with the dawning of chemicals and drugs. The process shifted to treating virtually all illnesses and diseases with pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. The practice of modern medicine follows the “sickness” paradigm, prescribing drugs or procedures to cure people when they get sick, opposite of the “wellness” paradigm which focuses on maintaining or getting back to good health through natural remedies and healthy lifestyle.

Fortunately, these days the media and some medical activists are very aware of and frequently report on research findings that demonstrate the dangers of certain drugs and chemicals to our health.

Why do more people prefer alternatives to standard medical treatments? First, modern medicine is failing in affectively treating many common health conditions. Second, people are growing concerned about the reliance and safety of drugs and surgery, and. Third, many natural remedies continue to produce better results than drugs and surgery without the adverse effects.

Of course, drugs and surgery have their place, but there are big difference between drugs and natural remedies that we should understand. Drugs are toxic, while natural remedies are not. Our focus is ridding off our bodies of toxins, not putting in more of them. Unlike natural remedies, drugs contain chemical or unnatural substances. Our bodies are complex creations designed to efficiently utilize natural plant-sourced substances.

While many drugs simply mitigate symptoms like pain or infection, natural remedies seek to treat the underlying cause of the symptoms. Although drugs work sooner than natural remedies, the latter may take more time as they help the body manufacture healthy cells, tissues, and organs. And lastly, unlike drugs, natural remedies support biological processes and do not create dependency on them.

Combining multiple drugs in a prescribed regimen can be dangerous. Although the effects of consuming a drug by itself may be known, very little testing has been done of drugs taken in combination. Many middle-aged and seniors are taking multiple drugs several times a day. On the other hand, we have been safely consuming a mixture of natural remedies in our food since the beginning of time.

Often times commencing a drug based therapy creates an escalating chain of failure. For example, when drug A creates unwanted side effects, drug B is additionally prescribed. Drug B creates its own side effects, for which drug C is prescribed, and so on through the gradual damage and failure of the body’s organs.

People who believe that natural remedies are insignificant or do not work may not be aware that drugs have been formulated as scientists have tried to duplicate natural remedies by using chemical and hormonal elements. The basis of their studies all started with how natural remedies work.

I’m not only talking of pharmaceutical products, this applies right across the board from food and beverages to cosmetics, beauty products, personal, and hair care products. The number of chemicals we are exposed to daily numbers in the tens of thousands. Thanks, that this knowledge is becoming more wide spread these days and as a result, many of us are taking a close look at the ingredients in such products and are looking for organic and natural products in preference to similar products that have not been grown using organic farming methods or contain additional chemicals that are synthetic or of an artificial in nature.

But the benefits of using natural remedies and natural products do not stop at the benefits to our health. The positive effects on the environment cannot be discounted. The products we take in, apply in our skin, hair, and bodies, get washed off and end up in our sewage and river systems. You’ve probably read about the effects of hormones from the birth control pill on the sterility of cows. The scientists tell us that the hormones get into the ground and water and the grasses on which the cows feed then take these up, ultimately affecting the fertility of cows. How about the fishes in the ocean which are the sources of our proteins? The corals where the fishes inhabited and the planktons that serves as their food?

Natural products and remedies are not only the best but the safest alternative for people interested in addressing the underlying causes of health problems and achieving optimal health and wellness.
