Introduction
If you are new to the concept of natural healing, here’s an explanation, some benefits of nature’s treatments and ailments that can be treated naturally.
What are homeopathic remedies?
Homeopathy and herbal medicine, a centuries-old practice was used in varied cultures worldwide.
In the West, herbal treatments evolved from early Greek, Roman and Medieval traditions. Ayurveda began in India, and traditional Chinese medicine had its roots in China. Like borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor today, ancient civilizations would share and borrow some of their curative brew recipes.
Historically, the use of naturopathic remedies range from simple food, to much more complex herbal preparations. These mixtures were commonly prepared as a tea, or as a topical application.
Popularity for home remedies grows as more people look to nature’s very own pharmacy; unique to many, but over 4000 years-old. Mother nature is not only the new “go to” for health conditions, but to prepare healthier food, to clean homes, to eliminate insects and to clean laundry without dangerous chemicals. Women are beginning to use home-made skincare and hair products; and the list goes on and on.
There is no doubt that natural, herbal and organic remedies are here to stay.
