Can you remember an ‘Old Wives Tale’ or a silly remedy that your Mum always made you take when you started getting a cough? I think home remedies or natural remedies these days are something the general public are "suspicious" about. Our mothers and grandmothers coped very well with lots of children taking such things as cider vinegar, onion syrup and castor oil.
As we now have a crisis in anti-biotic resistance to bacteria and anti-biotic resistance to very strong strains of staph infections, these old remedies are now becoming relevant to what we need to support our health and wellness. The pharmaceutical companies have successfully seduced us into believing only THEY have the answers to sickness. However, we are now in an age where we have been dosed up and doped up so much, we are reliant upon our pills to keep us well. I believe drugs are an "easy" way for us to treat our symptoms as natural remedies generally involve preparation and sometimes unpleasant smells or application.
Popping a pill that is full of synthetics and chemicals which generally include an extensive list of harmful side effects (which we all skim over and cross our fingers that we are not going to experience any) is generally the accepted way of our world.
It dawns on me we have to take control of our own health and start to allow the body to heal itself. I cannot remember a time when a local doctor actually healed me. He/she only shows me how to manage the symptoms and suggests the current drug to combat the symptom. The body has been created to heal itself, and if given the right chemical balance and nourishment, it will do that beautifully. To fill ourselves with drugs is just causing chemical imbalance in our bodies and so the cycle continues.
Now I've got that off my chest, I am going to to door to take possession of my Inversion Table. But that's another story....
