Does anyone here believe in natural health cures/remedies? Why or why not?

Question

I am very much a believer in natural health. I was just wondering if any of you feel the way I do.

Answer 1

yeah

god made our bodies to heal naturally. i think if we exercise, eat properly, dont smoke, drink, pop pills, then we can be alot healthier!

as a cut heals on our skin, so will our insides......

Answer 2

I believe our bodies can heal themselves, if we give it the nutrition it needs.  Hippocrates said, "let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food".  Problem is that our food supply is not that great (understatement).  Even when we try to eat healthy the nutritional quality of our foods have been compromised.  People rave about 'organic' foods but all that does is eliminate pesticides.  The 'organic' label does nothing to ensure that the food we are eating has any nutritional value.  We should always be aware of what we are putting in our bodies...whole foods, no pills, nothing that comes out of a box and makes health claims!!!  Also, reduce stress and exercise!

Answer 3

Natural remedies are usually free of side effects but often you need to take several as each one helps a bit.

Conventional remedies often give you side effects but they usually act a lot faster than natural remedies.

Probably the best approach is a combination of both.  If you can't overcome the problem with natural remedies you might have to resort to conventional prescription remedies which can sometimes give you absolutely dreadful side effects.

Answer 4

What could be better for our bodies than to feed and heal them naturally!

Now, that covers what we put inside our bodies.  But as part of the whole picture, what we do to 'feed' and 'heal' our mind and spirit is just as important.

Ayurveda is a hindu term meaning 'the knowledge of long life.'  Our complete, total health encompasses the body, mind and spirit (soul) as one.  Look into yoga/meditation, and into herbal remedies to help in achieving this total health.

Answer 5

I took a medical anthropology class, and I also beleive in natural health and cures! Almost Everything you need is in veggies and fruits! For ex. radishes and honey to cure a cold!  Cool, huh? :)

Answer 6

100% ABSOLUTELY!!! What you said is exactly true. I have a Jack Lalane juicer. Especially as you age, you need to care for your body because it'll keep illness at a minimum. The proper foods, vitamins, supplements and exercise can and will in most case cure illnesses like cancer...I've seen it happen and I know it's true!

Answer 7

i very much believe in healing the body as a whole and resolving a persons ailments from the source and not simply  bandaiding the symptoms with prescription and over the counter medications ............ how fantastic that you are willing to take responsibility for your own health and nuture your body with natural remedies & whole clean foods .......  good luck on your journey of knowledge mate.... ;0)
