There are many different types of alternative treatments. Even prayer can be a type of alternative treatment. Researchers have studied how prayer is connected to a person's overall health, and have concluded that it does play a role in the healing process. Some of them may use prayer as their only form of medical treatment, but most prefer to combine prayer and more traditional medical procedures. Homeopathic medicine is another common form. This medical system is based on the belief that "like cures like." In homeopathic medicine, an allergen or illness is given to a person in small doses to help their immune system build a tolerance to it. People around the world are choosing alternative ways for help and cure such as herbal medicine. But that doesn't mean that this is something new or recently uncovered. 2800 BC is the earliest date for documentation of use of herbal remedies in Chinese. Nearly 5000 years of use and experience in herbal remedies makes it a very safe and effective choice. There is no such thing as prescription herbal medicine and is available at any health store. If we were to compare the side effects of drugs and herbal medicine, then we would find that herbs have pretty much no side effects at all whereas traditional medicines come with a lot of dangerously painful side effects and addictions. Herbal medicine is also known as botanical medicine. By 'herb', herbalists mean a part of a plant that may be used for healing purposes. The herbal part of a remedy may have come from the leaf, flower, stem, seed, root, fruit or bark of the plant and may be used to treat wounds, abrasions, cuts and a number of conditions. Out of all the different types of herbs known to men, only 1% of than have been studied for medicinal purposes. So we still do not know the full extent of the power of herbs. It is very likely that herbal remedies may replace some antibiotics as a form of general treatment. |
