Plant Medicine for Hemorrhoids during Pregnancy
Jul 15th
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that appear in the rectal area. They can sometimes protrude from the anus. They are often itchy or painful and can sometimes rupture and bleed. Hemorrhoids can occur at any age but are normally thought to be more common as people become older, affecting a quarter or half of the adult population. Men and women are equally susceptible. At a simple level, hemorrhoids develop because blood pressure in anorectal veins becomes too large for the walls to resist. Many pregnant women get hemorrhoids while pregnant, especially during the third trimester. Hemorrhoids are more common if the woman is constipated. Three common causes of hemorrhoids are: straining during bowel movements, the strain of excess weight, and the pressure of sitting or standing for long periods of time. If you have had hemorrhoids before pregnancy, you’re more likely to get them again while pregnant. During pregnancy, your growing uterus can increase the pressure on the veins in the lower body. Pregnancy hormones can also cause the walls of your veins to relax. Straining, especially during hard bowel movements, traps more blood in the swollen veins and can cause hemorrhoids to protrude from the rectum. They may also develop More >
Medicinal Plant and Nature therapy
Jun 5th
To learn the essence of nature therapy, you should understand the Eastern medicine concept of harmony between man and nature. The conception of the acient eastern medicine such as the five elements that constitute universe and human, the special qualities of human body, etc. combines with the scientific characteristics of herbs. What’s more, this conception emphasizes that disease is the result of disequilibrium of the body and mind system, and not caused by one sole or external factor. As a result, the Eastern medicine based on body, mind, and parapsychics concept cannot be mentioned in the same breath with the traditional Western medicine based on the body mechanical model theory. In general, the basical concept of the Eastern medicine is that human should establish individual balance all over again, motivate body’s wisdom and potency, and set up harmonious and balance life for the purpose of self-help and strong body. Thus in the treatment of diseases, the role that herbs play only provides one relatively mitigatory method to promote the integration of environment, physical body, spirit, and soul. Then it comes to the principle of herbal autotherapy. In all-directional treatment, herbal therapy is a considerably effective method. Herbs can support, nourish, More >
Next Time You Head To The Medicine Cupboard Why Not Try The Fruit Bowl Instead?
May 28th
For thousands of years, fruit and vegetables have provided the human race with hordes of natural remedies for every medical compliant. More recently however, modern medicine has replaced traditional practices with man-made drugs. Some doctors and specialists have even gone so far as to say that traditional homoeopathic measures are useless in the wake of modern medicine. Given that many drugs such as codeine, morphine and caffeine are all derived from plants surely nature still holds the key to solving many a health problem? Headaches are a common medical complaint and one doctors will often recommend paracetamol for. This needn’t be the case however as the herb ginkgo biloba has a proven affect on circulation that can help reduce and clear a headache. By encouraging oxygen flow around the brain and the rest of the body, gingko baloba clears the tension that causes headaches. Feverfew is also thought to treat and prevent headaches given it encourages the release of serotonin – also known as the ‘happy’ hormone – that can clear a headache quickly. Arthritis – painful inflammation of the joints – can affect the young and old alike. Pills and medicines aren’t necessarily the best way to cure arthritis More >
Keeping Healthy Without Medicines
May 8th
Are you struggling with failing health/ are you overweight or suffering from chronic fatigue. Is your health was steadily going down the drain. Are you a junkie addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs? Do you use oral and topical medications to suppress your eczema/psoriasis (side effects of corticosteroids)? Have you been on antibiotics for months at a time for recurring throat or stomach infections?

Why You Should Consider Alternative Natural Medicines Instead Of Drugs
May 4th
If you watch television, then I’m sure you have noticed all of the advertisements for various medications. These remedies span from depression and arthritis, to migraines and cholesterol reduction. They all give the impression that this is the best medication for whatever illness it was designed for, showing the happy people who take them. Then, they start listing the potential side effects, and some of them sound more dangerous than the illnesses themselves. Some of the doctors who prescribe these medications will often frown on taking an herbal alternative. To them, these natural medications are not really medicine and are a waste of time and money. While it’s true that not every herbal remedy is as effective as it may be reported to be, studies have shown that many of them are. What these doctors fail to realize is that many of the chemical prescriptions are the synthetic equivalents of the herbal medications. Millions of dollars are spent each year on the study of plants and ways to get the same results by use of chemicals. One of the reasons this is done is because typically, natural medications can not be patented, but the chemical ones can. This allows pharmaceutical More >
Let Food Be Thy Fuel, Not Thy Medicine

I recently responded to a question about rejuvelac (a drink made from fermented grains that is used to treat indigestion) that: “Food is not medicine; food does not heal.” I’ve received a couple of questions on this comment so I figured today was a good time to elaborate on the topic. Food is Not Medicine Food is fuel. I know most people – cooked and raw foodists alike – will beg to differ. Many like to believe that food can and should be used as medicine (hence the popularity of the oft-quoted Hippocrates line “Let food be thy medicine, medicine by thy food”). That we should eat cherries because they alleviate symptoms of arthritis or prunes because they cure constipation. This is just plain bad science. No food, be it fresh fruit or fruit-flavored candy, has the power to cure or heal anything. It’s just food! Food Does Not Heal The body heals. But don’t get me wrong. What you eat does play a HUGE role in how effective the body is at taking care of itself, which is why… You Should Go Raw There is a reason that so many people see benefits after switching to raw, but it More >
