Natural Pain Remedies Preferable To Proven Side Effects Of Drugs
01/11/2006
It is no surprise that the popularity of Natural Pain Remedies is increasing. In spite of the deluge of commercials with which the drug companies, through the media, bombard us, the general public is becoming more and more aware of the dangers of using their products. Addiction and side effects being the most obvious, but little is said about the subtle deteriorization of liver and kidney tissue resulting from prolonged use of analgesics or painkillers as they are called.
Today's emphasis on wellness and a more holistic approach to healthcare has given a new popularity to the application of herbs and botanicals in general to health care and Natural Pain Relief. Increasing numbers of people are using herbs or herb based products for their natural time-tested effectiveness in preventing as well as treating a wide variety of ailments. The use of herbs in medicine dates back thousands of years, in fact many of today's medicines were originally derived from botanicals. For example, aspirin once came from the white willow tree, quinine (used to combat malaria) from the bark of the cinchona tree and digitalis from foxglove.
"I have been called upon to treat all sorts of ailments" said Judy Cutler, a well-known nutritionist in Sunland California "that were a direct result of prolonged use of painkillers or prescription drugs of some sort. My nutritional training helped to formulate my 'Naturally Painless Spray' that has proven very effective in helping to alleviate the pain from a wide range of ailments like arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, muscle joint and tendon sprains, as well as menstrual cramps, tension headaches and back pain."
Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine, which goes back centuries and are important constituents of many European natural remedies.
Doctors when graduating take the Hippocratic oath. It would be wonderful if they took it literally for Hippocrates also said, "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." Natural Pain Remedies certainly endorse that statement.
