His belief was that the same factors that cause the symptoms (which he called miasms) of a disease in a healthy person would cure those symptoms in a sick person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naturopathy\"><\/span>Naturopathy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This form of natural medicine was coined in 1895 and widely publicized in the US by Benedict Lust. In naturopathy, proponents claim that the body has the ability to heal itself using vital energy. This vital energy is <strong>harnessed by healthy diet and lifestyle choices<\/strong>, although the professionals may still provide alternative remedies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cultural_Natural_Medicine\"><\/span>Cultural Natural Medicine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These are derived from ancient medical practices, and examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that uses herbs, massage, acupuncture, exercise and diet.<\/li>\n<li>Ayurveda beliefs in balance through herbs and minerals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Herbal_Medicine\"><\/span>Herbal Medicine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is by far the<strong> most successful form of natural medicine<\/strong> since even modern medicine uses substances derived from plants to make medicine.

Nevertheless, there are a few with multiple applications that are also the most common. The<strong> top 5<\/strong> among these include:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ginseng\"><\/span>Ginseng<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This herb has been used in Chinese culture for centuries and its benefits are widely known. It presents as a fleshy root and is classified either as red, white or fresh. The most common variants of the plant are Asian and American ginseng due to a difference in concentration of active compounds. Due to this difference, Asian ginseng is known for its invigorating effect like this one from NutraChamps while American ginseng has a calming effect like this one from Now Foods.<\/p>\n<p>Ginseng is used as a natural remedy for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reducing inflammation, thanks to antioxidants\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Treating erectile dysfunction, also due to antioxidants<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Improving immune system markers as proven by many studies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lowering blood sugar levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ginko_Biloba\"><\/span>Ginko Biloba<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This one was also used primarily in Chinese culture, where the leaves and seeds were used to create the medicine. It is such an ancient tree that some even call it a living fossil, which goes to show how effective it has been. However, only the extract derived from the leaves is used nowadays to create natural medicine, and some of the benefits are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anti-oxidation due to high concentration of flavonoids and terpenoids<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-inflammation caused by cancer, arthritis, heart disease, IBS, etc.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Improves circulation within the body and thus keeps the heart healthy<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Decreases cognitive decline in people who have dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Treating of depression as illustrated by animal studies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Treating headaches and migraines<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chamomile\"><\/span>Chamomile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the most common among herbal medicines because it has a myriad purposes. In the US, it is mainly used to aid in relaxation and relief of anxiety while Europeans use it most for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can be found in the form of a tea for drinking or as an oil such as the Roman chamomile essential oil. Among some of its uses are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improves in digestion and prevents ulcers, diarrhoea and IBS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Helps in control of blood sugar by preventing damage to the pancreatic cells<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lowers blood sugar, (bad) cholesterol and improves heart health<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Milk_Thistle\"><\/span>Milk Thistle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a 2016 study, researchers discovered that there was reduced liver damaged that had been induced in mice through diet. It is also known to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Curb the spread of cancer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Help in treating type 2 diabetes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducing (bad) cholesterol levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Garlic\"><\/span><strong>Garlic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Containing multiple medicinal compounds, garlic has been used for a long time medicinally even before it became common in the kitchen.

Even they admit there may be some benefits to this kind of treatment, especially herbal medicine. Some of the benefits that have to be recognized include:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_medicine_works\"><\/span>Natural medicine works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no denying that some forms of natural medicine work. This is why some of the <strong>clinical trials<\/strong> being conducted have had success in proving the utility of natural medicine. A survey was conducted in 2010 on the 1,000 most commonly used plant derivatives (including those listed above). The survey discovered that clinical trials had been conducted on 156 of them and the results published.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that some Asian and African communities still <strong>rely on herbal medication for up to 80% of their medical needs.<\/strong> They may do this due to the cost of pharmaceutical drugs, but that doesn\u2019t take away from the efficacy of herbal medication.<\/p>\n<p>Despite medical practitioners being against the exclusive use of natural medicine, they still admit that it does have a purpose. Now only the most extreme forms of natural medicine like homeopathy and naturopathy face the harshest criticism unlike some like herbal medicine. If you have any concerns, <strong>check in with your doctor<\/strong> before taking.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Very_few_side-effects\"><\/span>Very few side-effects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, natural medicine does not have <strong>any significant side effects<\/strong> compared to pharmaceutical drugs. Where pharmaceuticals use chemicals to fight pathogens, natural medicines do not. Instead, they help keep the body healthier and the immune system stronger to fight off any potential diseases. By avoiding any chemicals that may alter the body\u2019s functions, there are little to no side-effects.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prevention_over_cure\"><\/span>Prevention over cure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical medication is only prescribed by a doctor <strong>after an individual falls sick<\/strong> and the illness can be tested. On the other hand, natural medicine is encouraged for the general well-being of an individual. This is supposed to <strong>help prevent them from developing any illness<\/strong> to begin with, and that carries a lot of benefit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applicable_to_all_people\"><\/span>Applicable to all people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to get a prescription, a doctor has to take a number of factors into consideration. Natural medicine practitioners don\u2019t have this limitation because their medicine is <strong>usually suitable for all people<\/strong> regardless of age or level of health. Compared to pharmaceuticals, natural medicine starts to be a superior alternative for treating various illnesses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4240\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing.jpg\" alt=\"What Herbs Promote Healing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/What-Herbs-Promote-Healing-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Can Herbal Remedies Be Dangerous?<\/h3>\n<p>Inasmuch as natural medicines have a lot of benefits, they <strong>can also be dangerous when used without competent direction.<\/strong> In ancient times, these natural medicines were only provided by trained medicine men who had learned the craft from their parents. However, now anyone looking for a profit can grow and produce these natural medicines. When taken in the<strong> wrong quantities or in combination with incompatible substances, this can be very dangerous.<\/strong> For example, taking garlic and warfarin can affect clotting as both have anticoagulant effects. Besides dosage, some sellers have at times introduced dangerous substances and been forced to take the products off the shelf.<\/p>\n<p>Although the authorities try to protect consumers from harmful products, the industry is largely unregulated, and this has given crooks a chance to thrive. The danger doesn\u2019t lie in the natural medicines themselves, but <strong>those who sell them.<\/strong> This is why you must <strong>always buy your natural medication from reputable sellers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you already a fan of natural medicine practices?
