Why Herbs?
"300,000 Americans are killed each year in hospitals alone, as a result of medical negligence." This was the statement made by Ralph Nader, Consumer Advocate and the news was released on Jan. 13, 1993. After thirteen years what do you expect about the whole scenario? You look forward to a change.
Of course a change has taken place but sorry to say it’s much inclined towards the adverse direction. Isn’t it representing the fallacy of modern medicinal practice based on quick action but not permanent cure?
Looking back to the medicinal herbs is indeed a consequence of this crisis. Your very presence in today’s situation may make you feel bizarre about following the ancient track. But believe it or not; where prescription drugs fail, herbs can be useful.
- Herbal treatment has a holistic approach that depends on natural elements to take care of your good health.
- And the most crucial factor you can really rely on is that herbal treatment has very little or no side effect.
Simple tips of herbal cure
- You are facing a digestive disorder. Instead of chewing an antacid pill, why don’t you directly chew a small slice of ginger? It will give you a better relief from gas and colitis problem. It also heals cough and cold and an instant respite from headache. An Indian herb in its origin, ginger is not only being used as a spice but also as an herbal medicine widely in the United States.
- Cinnamon is a great astringent. Instead of depending on unnecessary pain killers you can take cinnamon when you suffer from tooth and gum aches. It also works excellent on rheumatic patients. The cinnamon oil inhibits fungal and bacterial infections.
- Stress, fatigue and diabetes – these have found remedies in the thistle. Its origin is also in the eastern corner of the globe. It acts more like a tonic to make you feel energized and thus has de-stressing properties.
- Boswellia enhances your immunity and keeps you protected from different infections circumscribing you. The herb is more dominantly used on the external parts of your body because it can reduce inflammation due to burns and cut. Also it can heal that portion with time.
- Gurmar is also known as Gymnema Gymnema Sylvestre and that works like magic on diabetic patients. The action of this Asian herb is to block sugar both at taste and internal taking. Thus the sugar level in your body can be regulated and controlled with this specific herbal treatment.
- Another common herb that has gained great popularity in skin care and wounds healing is Gotu Kola. This particular herb has been quite effective on high pressure patients.
All these herbs in some way or the other are related to Ayurvedic practices. Modern medicinal practice is trying to build a bridge between this age-old curing mechanism with the ultra-modern techniques followed to remain healthy and fit. Herbs alone are charismatic in nature and the healing effect through them is long-term. Modern Medical Science in no way can now deny this fact.
